I am a nursing student in NYC who will be graduating in June. My SO has gotten a job offer in Louisville and I was wondering what the job market, hospitals, salaries were like in that area.
Average starting salary in NYC is 65K - I imagine I will not get that in Louisville... but how much of a decrease are we talking?
How are the hospitals and working environments in Louisville? Are the hospitals state-of-the-art? Supplies? Other staff shortages?
And does anyone know about internship programs - how often they're used? Offered in most hospitals? Length?
:welcome::balloons: Congrats on passing THE TEST !! And welcome to Louisville. I know it is much different than where you came from, but I think it is a great place. There is so much diversity and so many things to do. The cultural things etc. If you give it a chance you will love it !!
I wish the best for you in what ever you choose to do, please keep us posted !!
Specializes in Med/Surge, Psych, LTC, Home Health.
Good luck to you!!! I know that you will love "Louavul" =) It's a great city. I grew up in the area of town around Audubon. I used to go to the doctor there, and my two nephews and niece were all born there. I don't even think they deliver babies there anymore though. But anyway... congrats on finally making it here!
