Hi,

I am moving to Binghamton from Florida and was curious as to what the job outlook is like for RN's in Binghamton.

Are there very many openings, or is the economy crunch hitting there to? If anyone in Binghamton or the surrounding area could provide me with any info I would be very grateful! Can you also tell me what the average pay is in Binghamton for a new RN?

Thanks in advance!

I'm graduating from school this May; my program is about an hour west of Binghamton. Lourdes Hospital (www.lourdes.com) has recruited several members of my class, so I believe they are hiring. Their website has employment listings as well. Lourdes is a Magnet facility, and I hear wonderful things about them, although I have no first hand experience with them. I also do not know about other facilities in Binghamton. I've accepted a position in one of the hospitals in Elmira, so we'll be neighbors. Welcome to the area!

Hi Donster,

Thanks for the reply. I have been to Lourdes and its looks like a very nice hospital. I have heard they have a great graduate nurse program. I was hoping to start out there. I just passed the NCLEX last week, and Im licensed in Florida. Im in the process of applying for licensure in New York, but I have heard it can take quite awhile. Right now I am working in LTC because I am moving soon, and the hospitals in my local area are not hiring because of the economy. I love LTC, but I really want to learn in a hospital. Well anyway, thanks for the info. Do you know what fairly new grads are making in that part of NY?

Thanks again!
