More about St. Elizabeth Healthcare
If you are a new graduate, you can start on a competitive graduate-nurse base rate from your first day while you prepare for boards, with NCLEX cost reimbursement, a UWorld license, and paid onboarding that includes simulation, study time, and unit shadowing. RN orientation begins only after you pass; you then commit to one year (2080 hours) once you hold RN status. For experienced nurses, Med-Surg hiring at Grant has included night 7p–7a part-time (20 hours) roles that accept compact or state licensure. Health coverage can start within 30 days, with PTO, flexible scheduling language, retirement match, tuition reimbursement, a Clinical Ladder, and fellowship and certification support. The system also runs its own training building and Simulation Center. What you will not find here is a published RN dollar figure in the sources we have, and nurses on review sites often say pay lags the market. That gap is worth weighing against the residency structure, Magnet status at Grant, and the long-tenure claim the employer makes.
Comprehensive, compassionate care aimed at improving the health of people served, through technology and dedicated associates. Stated values include excellence, integrity, compassion, and teamwork.
