Positions are all over nola.com but I've been told the pay is low and you would do better elsewhere in the city.

Its true; the pay is very low at most hospitals in the area and the benefits are terrible. These are also the jobs that get cut first; most hospitals in the area have had several rounds of layoffs in the past few months.

For hours: I've worked in 4 hospitals and 2 states and the hours are the same as the day shift, usually 7 am to 3 pm. They hav weekend coverage so not everyone is there every day, each has to take so many weekends shifts.

It's pretty true....the average RN in New Orleans makes around $70K to $90K....if you are a lead you will make a little over $100K.

NOLA is looking for just about every position right now.
The economy woes are kind of a blessing in disguise to fill positions. Well, obviously not country wide, but we're feeling the benefits.
