Who they are
If you are weighing AwakeningPrajna in Santa Cruz, California, the clearest number we can put in your hand is pay. The one posting on file lists $38 an hour, and the minimum and maximum match that same figure.
More about AwakeningPrajna
Beyond that rate, public detail is thin. There is no stated residency path, tuition support, loan help, or career ladder in the facts we have, and scheduling, float, ratios, and EHR are not filled in either. So your decision starts simple: a fixed $38 hourly line in Santa Cruz, with plenty still unknown until you ask them directly.
