MediLodge

Your shift work includes the usual LTC rhythm plus supervising and directing LPNs and CNAs when you are the nurse on point. Pay figures published for the system (Medilodge of Mt. Pleasant posting) put RN starting wages between $41.40 and $53.66 an hour depending on experience, shift, and incentives, with a $3.40 Michigan Direct Care Incentive in that math and another $5.00 an hour if you take the weekend warrior route. Gaylord’s own base line is not separately posted, so you will want that number in writing before you sign. You can take pay daily, weekly, or bi-weekly through the wallet tools, and the package lists Anthem BCBS medical, dental, vision, Rx, 401K, HSA/FSA, pet insurance, tuition reimbursement, and student loan repayment options. Newly licensed graduates are invited to apply, and the postings talk about learning, training, and advancement without spelling out a formal residency. Sister buildings in the system have picked up recognitions—AHCA Bronze at Mt. Pleasant in 2024, a deficiency-free survey at Haggerty Road in 2025—while employee reviews company-wide sit near the middle and vary sharply by site. That gap is real; treat Gaylord as its own building when you tour and talk to night staff.
