As other RN's have said on here, CPMC pays RN's low compared to the other San Francisco hospitals. You can see what UCSF pays their clinical nurse II for example simply by googling "USCF medical center nurse pay and tier." They pay over 10% more overall (plus better benefits). Other CPMC employees may say the pay and benefits are good, and for them they probably are, but not for nurses. For us RN's, CPMC pays low for San Francisco and has probably the worst benefits: The pension plan is not very strong. They stopped matching on the 403b plan which is like a 401k. The health insurance we are given frankly sucks. You can only go to a Sutter affiliated doctor. To me these are all cons. CPMC use to pay well, had blue cross health insurance, matched on the 403b, and appreciated that nurses are the backbone of the hospital. Now we are treated like a robot and number, and not appreciated or compensated, and it reflects that feeling.
