More about Aztec Healthcare

If you are new, the same postings say new graduates are welcome and will be trained for those travel and charge roles. Multi-state licenses are welcomed. Pay on the travel charge lines has been stated at $50/hr for RNs and $45/hr for LVNs. Non-contract staff benefits listed include 401(k), dental, health, life, and vision; contract and travel employees are exempt from that package. People who have worked here talk about a family feel and real ties with residents. They also talk about thin staffing, low pay on the permanent side, and a small building where gossip travels. Turnover numbers are high. You decide whether the charge experience, the contract rate, and the quieter town trade-off fit what you need next.
