Pros

health benefits: employee is fully covered. dependents or children are extra.

Cons

I have 8 years experience and when they gave me my offer letter it was 36/hr! I was flabbergasted. This area has gone up on living cost and they are building a new hospital and upgrading a lot of things. Im sure the doctors are getting paid waay above market pay and yet nurses are only getting 36/hr with 8 years experience? I couldn't believe this offer. I asked the talent aquistion how they come up with this number and she didnt have an answer? It seems like they need to reeval their numbers and pay nurses fairly. I ended up declining and left NM.

Pros

The job was fantastic and I very much enjoyed everything we did. The hours were great and it was the perfect distance from my home.

Cons

They waited until 4 days before my probation period was up, and brought me in a room with two supervisors and a random nurse and terminated me because “ I’m not a good fit for the team”. They say my clinical skills are impeccable and no one from the hospital had any complaints about me in any way. A few people decided for me that my personality was too big for their team to handle. That says a lot about management there. I’ve NEVER been terminated in 26 years as a paramedic, but I come to UNM with a big personality and they cannot handle it.
