More about Forest View Hospital
Forest View is a UHS subsidiary; roles post through the UHS careers site. On the Admissions RN path you take medical histories, meds, and vitals for adults and adolescents during the evening admissions peak, then float to the floor. Schedules show up as 4x10 or 3x12 starting late afternoon. PHP PRN and temp psych RN postings also appear, and those note that new grads are welcome. Our single posting here sits at $35 an hour flat. Benefits listed on the Admissions RN job include medical, dental, vision, and Rx; 401(k) match and discounted stock; PTO at 6.46 hours biweekly; life insurance at 1x salary; STD/LTD; pet insurance; tuition reimbursement; and student loan reimbursement up to $200 a month plus a refinancing program. Staff review sites paint a harder picture—overall scores in the mid-2s, work/life and management called out, and overtime when the unit is short—so that is part of what you would be weighing.
