Does Emory offer sign on bonuses? I think I'm going to ask about it. 

No, I don't think, they do offer relocation assistance of 2.5k...

I asked. They do not…$2.5k isn’t much at all. A few of my cohorts were offered up to 10k at other hospitals elsewhere

10k for a new grad going into residency program? Wowww!! that's a lot considering the first few months will be spent taking classes and preceptorship. The most for a nurse resident I've personally heard is 5k, I've seen alot of experienced RN job post that offer 10-15k though.

One of my friends applied to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. New grad ER $35 for base pay, +$5 for night shift differential, and $8-9k for relocation… they’re also paying for his flight, hotel, and car for him to come up and look for a place… 

its possible. I wouldn’t be mad if Emory offered at least maybe $3.5k or so just to cover the cost of moving out of state.

Here is just my insight that you really should consider. Mayo pays more because it is so hard to recruit talents in the area - not just in clinical roles but also leadership (trust me, I know). You also have to keep in mind where the geographic location of where this hospital is located. I know because I used to be a travel tech and I have been in that area.  It is so far out from the city (1.5 hour from St. Paul) and many new talents move there temporarily because of the pay and leave after a year. If that is your goal, go for it. Second, the grueling Winter that you have to endure. If you are not used to that, then I'd say go with your Plan B. Third, social life is hard to find especially if you are moving from a big city. I am from NYC and it was a huge adjustment for me to meet folks in the area. I view Rochester as a really small suburb with a strong academic presence. However, I also don't want to be spending 9 months out of the year in my apt in my cocoon because it's so freaking cold that you don't want to be going out at all. I want to be able to walk around at night, have dinner, meet friends -- it's just hard to network in that area (I'm an extrovert) so to me that matters. Yes, pay plays a huge factor in your decision depending on where you are at in your career, however, you have to look at the overall picture of what an organization can help support your growth. This is why I advocate for everyone to shadow at their future unit to see if that is the right fit/organization that fits your professional goal. I hope this makes sense. Been around the block (15 years). I know exactly how this whole thing works! Take it for what it's worth!

That was really interesting, thanks for the info. I didn't actually apply to mayo haha, I'm from the Midwest and I purposely came to the South to escape the Winter (had traumatic experience driving on ice). I was just envying the high pay, haha, but I wouldn't go there even if they offer me the 9k bonus.

Oh for sure! And thank you for your insight! I didn’t apply to Mayo specifically because of the cold. I’m from Texas… cold has always bothered me. It was more so that the relocation amount that was offered from Emory compared to other big name hospitals is just not as competitive.  In my situation, however, I’m very limited on where I can go due to a scholarship obligation. I can’t stay in my hometown because of it and not a lot of other major cities in Texas made it on the list of critically shortage areas. So henceforth, I applied to Emory which was on the list of places I could apply to. I currently work in the same type of unit that I applied to but I would love for the chance to shadow at Emory, however, school and the long distance really doesn’t make it feasible. But honestly, Emory really supports their new grad. Finding a place that has that support is really rare.

Is your scholarship nurse Corp?  One of my classmate got the scholarship and they pay her 1.2k stipend per month which I was really surprised. I didn't apply because I thought they would require me to work in rural areas but I didn't know big city hospitals qualifies too! I deeply regret not applying when I had the chance.

It is! Not all big city hospitals qualify though and not all rural/ semi rural area like the Mayo Clinic qualify neither. Almost all magnet hospitals don’t qualify. I wanted Emory St Joseph but couldn’t accept the offer because of the Nurse Corp scholarship. However, I am excited to move and start at EUH! If you want to pursue your masters later, Nurse Corp will definitely help with that.

That's really interesting, I wonder why EUH qualified since it's also a magnet hospital
