Mt. Sinai $68,000 effective 1/07

Hi NY nurses!

i am an RN in MA... just started out and making 27/hr. I am looking to move to stamford, CT next fall... im trying to make the best financial decision of where the push to work either NY or CT? i heard that the hospitals in the southern CT area make 31/hr. after a year worth of experience... but i also have friends at mt. sinai/NYU already making 72,000/yr that just started. I am wondering how much do u actually take home in a paycheck with taxes and health care taken out, i know all hospitals are different... but rough estimate for NY hospitals? i know taxes are higher in NY and with the commute i would have to pay 300+ a month for the train and an hr both ways... trying to figure out which is more worth it... CT or NY? thanks for any advice!! :)

Hey littlenewbie,

I cant give you a estimate for the hospitals. however, here is a little advice. If you live in CT, while many people commute- there is a HUGE hospital in Valhalla, NY -Westchester Medical Center. Only Level 1 trauma center in the region and lots to learn, shorter, cheaper commute, and more money. I wanted to take an agency position there but I did not because I am moving to Brooklyn. If I were you, would definitely look into it!!!!!!

Oh, my real point was if you don't want to work in CT, Valhalla, NY is not far at all from Stamford. Well, at least in comparison to NYC.

littlenewbie, I am currently scheming my return to NYC. I left to serve in the Peace Corps and then attended nursing school in Pittsburgh. I considered keeping my new car and relocating to Westchester. Unfortunately, the hospitals in Westchester (and probably CT) don't pay as well as NYC private hospitals, BUT the cost of living is essentially the same. You may get more space for your money in Westchester and CT, but it is still expensive to rent an apartment (i.e. $1,400+ for a one-bedroom). My vote would be a move to NYC. No matter WHAT you want to do as a nurse, you'll find it in NYC. I KNOW you cannot say the same thing for Stamford. :)

Hey SilverMist! Just wanted to know if you've applied to HSS. I was in telemetry for about 4 months right after graduation (I graduated in December '08 with a BSN) and then I switched to HSS' OR Residency, which I started in July. It's awesome so far, HSS appears to invest a lot to educate their new staff, and the benefits are ok. My favorite thing though is how much tuition reimbursement they give...it's like $10,000 for BSN, $12,000 for Master's, and more for PhD...

Another really great thing that keeps me going is that fellow co-workers at HSS are really nice. =) It really helps to have friendly and supportive colleagues.

Just thought I'd reply 'cuz I was so happy to see HSS mentioned. =) If you really don't like cardiac, there are other options for you out there. My husband really enjoyed doing Psych @ St. Luke's-Roosevelt.

Hey Kay--thank you so much for replying--believe it or not I just got your reply--yes, actually, I sent my resume online and I sent it with a note specifically writter to her--however, I never heard from her--I don't know if it's because they are not hiring right now or what--I was very dissappointed that I did not hear from her, because I would love to work for HSS--I am not sure how else (short of actually going to the hospital in person) I can get an interview there. As of now, I am not employed, and I am looking for another position, but so far, no one is calling me, it's almost as if nobody is hiring, or maybe it's my resume that is not agreeable to them?!? I don't know. I almost feel like giving up and going to another state! I am not sure what do do anymore.
