BEST PHOENIX HOSPITALS?
Can anyone please give me some advice on their opinion of the best hospitals to work for in Phoenix? Any advice or thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thanks much
Best hospitals in Phoenix
8) Hi from Phoenix! I have lived and worked here for about 9 years. I first worked for Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center. It's a large teaching hospital downtown. I'm a L & D RN, so it was a very good experience from the view of learning and seeing lots of different situations. The downside is Banner Health has bought out about half of the hospitals in metro Phoenix / Mesa / Glendale. This makes it difficult if you want to work for a smaller, more personalized health system.
I have worked as a "Registry" nurse for almost 6 yrs. now. The industry has slowed significantly with the economy downturn, but it still is great to have flexibility. I work mostly at "Abrazo" hospitals. They are: Arrowhead, Phoenix Baptist, Paradise Valley, Maryvale, and West Valley. My favorite of them all are Baptist and Arrowhead. If I were to go on staff at any hospital here, it would be one of the Abrazo hospitals.
Hope this helps!
