Baton Rouge General reviews

The pay is unfortunately disappointing, especially for nurses with prior experience. I came in with two years (>5000 hrs) of med-surg experience, yet was paid the same base rate as a new grad—$29.70/hr. While I required ICU-specific orientation, I already had many of the fundamental nursing skills needed. It felt unfair to be valued the same as someone completely new to nursing. The rationale that I needed ICU orientation doesn’t fully justify overlooking my previous experience. A great place for new grads to gain real ICU experience in a supportive learning environment, but experienced nurses may find the pay structure discouraging.

The pay for social workers is extremely low for the region, and it is not keeping up with inflation no matter what administration says.
