Name the hospital and its Starting Salary!!!

U.S.A. New York

Published

Mt. Sinai $68,000 effective 1/07

Specializes in 2 years as CNA.

Just thought that I would post this link that I found. It compares nursing salary in the US when you consider cost of living. I currently live in Texas and once you consider our low cost of living the pay is great!

I can not believe that the pay in NYC is so low compared to your cost of living. You all deserve much much MORE!!!!

That is a great tool but I'm not sure it is totally accurate. I am graduating next May from a BSN program here in NY and from what everyone tells me at the different hospitals I've been doing clinicals at, the starting pay for new grads is about $70-72 thousand. I've also had people tell me that they work overtime and make close to $90,000 in the NYC area. Granted, the cost of living here is terrible, but you can live decently here in NY on $90,000. I guess it depends on where you want to live too. Even though I'm from CA, I love NY and plan on staying after graduation.

The Texas average salary is a bit inflated & the only thing that I found to be much lower, related to cost of living, was housing. There was no state and city tax in Texas; but, I think that the much higher wages in NYC [+$15.00 per hour difference] more than make up for the extra taxes. As for groceries, gasoline (adjusting for the extra mileage needed to go anywhere in the metroplex), utilities, clothing, dining, etc., it is pretty much comparable in net cost. And, as I remember it, overtime was considered a dirty word in Texas (by employers).

Specializes in neurology.

About a month ago I called a bunch of hospitals and asked their starting salaries without giving my name (no one asked). I noticed that most of the hospital salaries posted so far are for NYC which pays a lot better than Westchester or Putnam County, but for people who live a bit upstate (like me), here's what I found.

Montrose VA Hospital is $59,198 to start, and it's 8hr days 5 days a week.

Bronx VA Hospital is $68,000 to start. Med-Surg and ICU are 12hr shifts, I think they said Psych is 8hrs.

Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla starts at $55,984, plus a $1000 differential for BSN, plus a $1600 differential for night shift.

Four Winds Hospital in Katonah - a psych hospital - starts at $28/hr, with 12 hr shifts, and I think that works out to about $53K a year. But I've heard that they vary what they quote from $25-$29/hr.

Putnam Hospital Center starts at $27/hr, and BSN's get $27.75. On the phone they said this is $53,400 a year. They have 8 hr shifts.

Hope this helps! I don't intend to pick my job based just on the salary, though - it's more important to me to have a shorter daily commute to work, and to have a 3 day work week with 12 hr shifts!:monkeydance:

Specializes in ICU, Cardiac Cath/EPS Labs.

but, remember, that total "compensation" consists of more than just salary...see my earlier post attempting to compare the value of memorial sloan's pension with that of its competitors.....https://allnurses.com/forums/f164/name-hospital-its-starting-salary-184662-8.html#post2298133 would appreciate it if you had some specifics on the pension at memorial sloan---they may not be so forthcoming with the details???? thanks.

But there is one benefit NYC has that CA doesn't have...you can totally get by without having a car which in itself can be a major expense.

Specializes in neurology.

I just got a job offer from Four Winds Hospital in Katonah, NY for when I graduate (yay!) :balloons: and they said it would be 55K for 3 12hr shifts a week, or 60K on the night shift.

Until I graduate (May 08) I'll be working there as a Mental Health Worker for 11.79/hr part time while I finish up my last semester.

I can't wait to graduate, I've come down with a major case of senioritis!
