Chicago

I am a BSN nurse with CRRN and WCC certification. I have 5+ years of bedside nursing including several years now in a hospital on the acute rehab unit and as a med/surg pull. I am in the early stages of planning a move to the Chicago metro area. I was hoping for some general info from my colleagues here on allnurses. Are the facilities there fully transitioned to the pay for performance format where patient satisfaction scores produce bonuses? Are most hospitals in Chicago union or non-union? What pay scale would you imagine I might expect? Are hospitals there pushing for bedside BSN's to continue on to Masters or Advanced Degree programs? I am currently in the Philadelphia metro area at a small community hospital that is union.

Thank you so much for any information you might be able to share with me. I truly appreciate it!

    I think most hospitals are non Union. At least in the Chicagoland suburbs they are. They aren't pushing bsn to msn. They are pushing the adns to get a bsn (suburbs). The most well known hospitals in the city are magnet hospitals so they require a bsn. I think you would have no problem finding a job. However, these hospitals' HR departments reply very slow.
