I am still in school but would like to try and settle an ongoing discussion. Many of my classmates claim that everyone is getting a sign on bonus when they start working. It is as if they believe it is automatic and it does not matter where you live. When I ask new nurses (in our area) they say no one that graduated with was offered a sign on bonus. Maybe it is just my area but I was wondering about the rest of the country.
I know it prob has been a topic many times, but...Is anyone getting a sign on bonus? If so, is it your first nursing job? Also, if you want to disclose, how much was your bonus for?
