Can't answer your question specifically but you could probably find out on line what pay is. Also I think there is a St. Peter's Hospital. And you can google Cohoes and there should be a site for it, city, village? Then there is usually a list of services offered there or nearby, as in churches, businesses, healthcare to click on.

I grew up in Schenectady and left in 1971...lots of changes when I visit family. Check out the web and go on a "fact-finding visit" to see if it's what you really want.

I would go to salary.com and find some general parameters for the pay in that general area.

Don't know how to answer your question, but good luck anyway.....

I'm not sure what experienced RNs are making at AMC, since I interviewed this winter as a new grad. New grads make between $20 and $22/hour in this area - but that is before shift differential. Most of us new grads in my class are working 12-hour nights after orientation.

Here are some websites of hospitals in the area. They all have job openings listed on their websites.

St. Mary's in Troy: www.setonhealth.org (Best starting salary for new grads and best benefit package in the area!)

Samaritan in Troy and Albany Memorial: www.nehealth.com

St. Peter's in Albany: www.stpetershealthcare.org

Albany Med: www.amc.edu

Ellis Hospital in Schenectady: www.ellishospital.org (Will soon be combining with St. Clare's. I didn't interview at Ellis so I don't know anything about them.)

Best of luck!
