More about McLaren Flint
More than 850 AFSCME Local 875 nurses just ratified a four-year contract that delivers a $10 per hour wage increase, adds lead RN roles, and sets up a safety committee after a season of strike notices and hard bargaining. Day to day, the texture is familiar hospital work: Cerner charting, 12-hour nights on units like 9 S Progressive Care (7:00 pm–7:30 am, 72 hours per pay), and ACLS expected within six months on PCU, ICU, ER, CCU, and several other floors. Hospital-wide figures sit at 2.05 RN per bed with a CMS staffing Grade A. A $61M campus project finished in 2025 expanded Karmanos surgical oncology space, the proton therapy center, and the main entrance. Nurses here tend to praise coworkers, pay, weekend shifts, and overtime. They also name real friction—management, parking, low supplies, and the high ratios that drove the 2024 talks. ICU attendings and RNs get warm mentions from people who have worked those units. Flint itself is described as affordable, with food options within about an hour.

What to weigh
During 2024 contract talks, union nurses put high nurse-to-patient ratios at the center because the stretch was risking safety—and current RNs still flag low supplies, parking, and management as everyday friction.
