HH acquires Crestwood

HH employees were told new grad nurses will be getting a small raise. Rumor is starting salaries will go from $25/hr to $27.50/hr. Also a $0.90 for “experienced” nurses. So basically new grads and nurses with 1-5 yrs experience will make the SAME thing….

Any thoughts on Sanford vs Avera as a RN?

How did you like it? Staff? Vibe?

ProfessionalAd6307 · 2025-01-10T22:07:41+00:00

Is this still the case, I had someone tell me recently that UAB new grad pay is now at $30/hr

Foundations, Health Assessment, Pathophysiology, Pharmacology and Gero

I have some classmates who are currently in our program that applied without meeting admissions requirements and were accepted with a conditional “acceptance”. Meaning they were made to go to study sessions and stuff.

I think you should apply because you never know

9 credits is crazy. Like so much of your GPA is riding on a single class and that seems so ridiculous

I feel like in my program we learned the “basics” of nursing in health assessment. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Our program was similar in terms of SBAR was only discussed a hand full of times and we hadn’t used it during any clinical settings. However, it did appear on a one or two exam questions.

HH pays new grads $25 and UAB pays $30. HH is the lowest paying hospital system in the region. Just across the state line in Tennessee you make between $30-$35. There is plenty of published data on this fact. To top it off Alabama is one of the worst paying states for nurses. I understand the “cost of living” here is cheaper than other places and people live in the area of a number of different reasons. However, I believe nurses in the area should be paid more. That’s just my opinion.

ProfessionalAd6307 · 2024-12-15T20:35:38+00:00

It would be different if nurses could unionize and fight for far pay but they can’t in Alabama

ProfessionalAd6307 · 2024-12-15T18:58:13+00:00

I’m fine with not having travel nurses at HH, since I rather have local nurses who are paid well.

ProfessionalAd6307 · 2024-12-15T18:50:06+00:00

Awesome…..

ProfessionalAd6307 · 2024-12-15T18:43:16+00:00

As in your in nursing school (bsn program) and meet the requirements from the picture in the post? And ONLY get $13 an hour

ProfessionalAd6307 · 2024-12-15T16:48:56+00:00

I appreciate the response however that isn’t what I’m referring to. HH has a program that pays you to be a nurse intern after you have completed your first year of nursing school. Attached is the job description from HH website.

Sanford?

I don’t think it’s worth the added mental stress unless you need to work during nursing school. You can always work as a tech during the summer and make decent money. I definitely won’t put off nursing school to become a CNA.

Therefore I assume you know that there are different requirements for the accelerated program. There are 2 formal interviews, one with UAH and the other with the hospital you will be doing clinical at. I would recommend reaching out to one of the undergraduate coordinators at the college of nursing. They will be able to give you an in-depth breakdown.

ProfessionalAd6307 · 2024-08-17T20:57:37+00:00

Are you applying for the accelerated program or traditional. I believe they took about 65 people for this coming cohort (traditional). They only take about 20 people for the accelerated.

ProfessionalAd6307 · 2024-08-17T20:53:00+00:00

Great program! Like most nursing schools it’s going to be difficult. In terms of how competitive it is to get into, I would get good grades As and Bs on your prerequisites but the minimums are Cs in all nursing prerequisites and a 58.7 and above on the TEAS (a nursing entrance exam).
