Centinela Hospital Medical Center

If you are new, the front door has been the Prime Healthcare Nurse Residency Program; Centinela ran early cohorts with St. Francis and Sherman Oaks. On pay, recent postings have shown Med/Surg RN ranges around $41.50–$60.94 an hour and Cath Lab roughly $50–$72.81, with night-shift RN ads mentioning sign-on bonuses up to $5,000. RN reviewers still often say the pay sits below peers nearby, so you will want to stack those numbers against your own budget. The RN group is union—CNA/NNU represents about 800 nurses—and staffing fights are real; a one-day strike was announced for February 2026 over unsafe staffing and stalled contract talks. What you hear from people who have worked here is plain and mixed. Some describe kind coworkers, usable flexibility, and a lighter load than other LA hospitals. Many more talk about short orientation, short staffing, burnout, and using Centinela to build experience before moving on. Leadership messaging stresses promoting from within. You decide whether that trade matches where you are in your career.
