Hey have you guys heard anything about buying scrubs? I emailed HR and they told me that we have to get our own and they have to be navy, but they didn't say anything besides that. I want to make sure I get the right ones!
I'm a new grad with a BSN who was recently hired in the Tampa area. I think you're on target with your $25-30 per hour estimate, with the base being around $25 and closer to $30 with differentials :).
I just took my boards this week and passed. SO glad that's done with, lol. Good luck with your move! And I know what you mean, lol. I've never lived more than a 5 hour drive from home, so moving a 19 hour drive away was a big change. I definitely can...
I can't totally weigh in on this since I'm new to FL and I'm a new grad, but I was recently hired in the Tampa area at a base of $24.28. But I did want to comment to remind you that Florida has no state income tax, which really does make a difference...
I decided to apply directly to the Florida board since I wasn't really intending to look for a job in NY :). I know that that's the fastest way to do it if you 100% know you plan on working in Florida. Otherwise the hospital had emailed me to use thi...
I asked when I interviewed and they said that we would rotate through ICU, PCU/stepdown, Med-surg and ER in the first 12 weeks, and then we get to preference where we would rather work out of those and the nurse managers will decide. I told them I pr...

Not anywhere near the Hudson, but look into Buffalo. Plenty of jobs here, and lots of different hospitals. A few of the hospitals are offering sign-on bonuses for experienced RNs. I just finished my BSN at a school in Buffalo and I'd say around 50-60...
I'm sorry, but the comments re: you not being eligible for unemployment are actually not 100% correct. Putting in a resignation notice is a courtesy to your employer- it's not a binding contract. You as the employee have stipulated that you are leavi...
I'm inclined to, but I just got nervous with how things were worded in the disclosure from the hospital. Was just looking to see if anyone had any personal experience with this or any insight that I might not have thought of. This is my first time be...
Hello all! I was recently offered a new grad position at a hospital that I really wanted to work at- I'm very happy about it. I'm a little worried though, because I received all of my paperwork this week and there is a VERY extensive medical question...
I would also suggest you look around Inwood/Washington Heights west of broadway. It's not necessarily 'hip and trendy' but it has a good solid community feel and is pretty quiet. More affordable than other neighborhoods in Manhattan, and the A train ...
