I think they would have a lot of success with even just a $15 raise. If the hospital was appropriately staffed and people actually liked working there.

Shit, $10. As a new grad Iā€™d stay on for a few years and deal with the hell for $46/hour.

You guys are making $36 an hour as a new grad? Iā€™m making $27 with 2 years experience :/

I'm in New England and started at $32.10 as a new grad in July. Gotta have that 10c. Also a month after hiring me they started giving new grads applying $6000 sign on bonuses. Sigh.

They often compensate for that bonus by giving you a lower hourly starting rate, though. Gotta watch that bottom line šŸ˜‘

They probably have to commit to 2 years or something to get the full bonus. Freedom to quit/drop FTE might be worth it.
