Long Island nursing!!

It depends on the hospital, with city/state public hospitals typically paying less. I was hired at Stony Brook first, and their salary was 75K with night differential for new grads. I was grateful for the opportunity but decided to hold out for a position at NYP/Columbia, where I worked as a nursing attendant. The salary for new grads was 96K with night diff (6K) when I started almost a year ago. After a year that goes up to 100K (with night diff). You then can get differentials for experience (starting at 2 years), MSN/doctorate, certification, charge/preceptor, and clinical ladder. You also get paid for council/committee meetings and training you go to, get continuing education days for conferences, etc.
From what I understand, NYU, Mount Sinai, and Sloan Kettering pay similarly to NYP/Columbia (not too sure about Cornell, though I'm sure it's similar as well), with Sloan having the highest starting. I believe the city public hospitals are closer in pay to Stony Brook, slightly less (their salaries are online, when I looked a year ago I believe I saw around 69K starting without differential). In LI, St. Francis and Northwell aren't too much lower than the private city hospitals, at least in the mid 80s starting.

Ok ok, thanks girl!!!!! I appreciate it. I am hoping to start school next year in the spring. I have to take the placement test and everything first. Gosh I hate mathí ½í¹„ I am excited about the move, but nervous as well.

@angjam: I lived in Newport News and Hampton, but born and raised in BK (Brooklyn). I moved to VA for something different, because it was alot slower than NY. After 5 years I could not wait to move back to NY. I missed my love ones, the corner stores that stay open 24 hours, the buses and trains that run every 5 minutes, diversity of people and food etc.

Oh ok cool. Williamsburg is different then NN, and Hampton. They have a lot more to offer. Williamsburg is nice to. But we don't have much lol. That's what I am excited about!! I am a little nervous to though!!! haha. It's so slow down here. Idk if I'm ready for the "fast" life haha. But I should be fine. My boyfriend is born and raised in Long Island. So that's the good part. Girl down here, the whole damn city shuts down about 10/11pm it's soooo annoyingðŸ™„. It'll definitely be a change for me.

I agree, Williamsburg is nice. Not only does it shut down when its about 10/11pm, even when it snows a couple of inches it shuts down. But I am not going to lie, I like that everything shuts down when it snows:)
