Hello! Need help deciding between AZ Heart or JCL

[ezjrn]

Hi everyone! I've had interviews with AZ Heart Hospital and John C. Lincoln Hospital in AZ. I hope you can help me with a few questions:

1) How's the work environment in both hospitals?
2) How's the area for growth in both hospitals? I am a new grad RN and I am looking into working for a hospital long term. I want to work where there is great avenue for growth.
3) How are they salary- wise? Do they give sign-on bonuses?

I would really appreciate any input from you! Thanks!

:39: #3 Wasn't mentioned in your interview? If they didn't tell you about a sign-on I'd put my money on the fact that they either #1 don't have one or #2 didn't want you to know about it.:houra:

Good luck.

Personally, I traveled to Phoenix for 21 weeks last year. August to December and wild horses couldn't drag me back there.

As my oldest son said when he visited if you like Brown you'll love Arizona.

Good luck in whatever you choose. I've heard good things about JCL but then again I've heard good things about alot of things.

I took a contract job at JCL and hated it. I quit before I received any sign on bonus (so I wouldn't have to pay it back). THe pay is terrible there, way below what other hospitals pay you. The clientelle (especially the OB floor) left alot to be desired. Good luck. I moved here from IL and wish the hell I was back in IL. But my son loves it here so I will stay until he finishes high school.
