Bellevue is a city (public) hospital so their Emergency Dept/Trauma Center is great experience as you get to see all types of cases. Also try other trauma centers in NYC such as Kings County Hospital and Harlem Hospital, they are all part of NYC HHC, the same company that runs Bellevue. The employment link is employment.nychhc.org . To find the Nurse Recruiters aka Human Resources department (the chief nurse does not post her info online) information Google nychhc nurse recruiter and you will find a pdf with e-mails for each hospital's nurse recruiter. If you are on Linkedin you can also search Linkedin and see if they have a profile. Recruiters check Linkedin frequently but chief nurses may not as they don't have to since they depend on the recruiter/human resources to find job candidates for them.

Sorry to take this off topic. I searched for nursing jobs at the employment.nychhc.org site. My jaw dropped at the low pay being offered! $68K plus experience pay for a head nurse? That is very close to what we start new grads out at in my area. I imagine that the cost of living in NYC is considerably higher than here in the upper midwest.

PMFB-RN, idk why its advertised as that. All the Head Nurse at HHC make a lot more than $68k. Even new hires/grads as RN, the base salary is 66K plus almost 5K differential for evening shift (4pm-1230am) and 7K differential for night (12am to 8:30am). So even new grads are at at least 70K. And so Head Nurses even higher. Plus city benefits (health insurance, etc) are excellent , which is why we had private hospital RNs transfer to HHC as private hospitals may have a little bit higher salary but i heard the benefit packages are not too good.

Well I am happy to hear that the published starting pay doesn't really reflect realiety! On another note, interesting to me that your new grads start out very close to the same as our new grads, but that we live in a MUCH lower cost of living area. Recomfirms the research I did before choosing this area to live and work in years ago.

EstrellaCr, I see you work at Kings County. Do you mind sharing how you went about applying? Did you mail your resume? Fax? Call? Apply online? I am interested in working there as a med-surg nurse.
