I'm looking to relocate when I graduate in December and I'm curious to know what the going rate for new grads in the area is. Spill the tea if you have it!
Thanks! Posting in r/rva is a good idea
Newport News location, with my CNA and PT Tech experience, ADN degree, i’ve been offered $33.64 with a 6k bonus. Idk if that helps 😅
It definitely does!!! Thank you! I have a similar background
Edit: do you mind if I ask which hospital system?
Yes, Riverside is the hospital i’m about to work in. Sentara was offering $30 and some change even when i tried to counteroffer them and their bonus was 7k and i heard that my friend who has MA & CNA experience was offered $31 by bon secours.
You're a gem!
No probs! A coworker of mine told me RVA should offer a bit more than my area does 🤷♀️
Hi, I graduate this May and am starting in July at VCU @ $33.61.
Thanks for spilling the tea!!! That is one of the hospitals I want to apply at.
Edit: when did you start applying? I'm looking at starting in March and am unsure when to begin applying
Maybe cross post in r/rva for some local input. The main systems are VCU Health, Bon Secours Mercy Health, HCA and VA Medical Center.
