My neighbor e - mailed me that she has accepted an offer with an HCA hospital and said the HR mgr. said their bonus was $4,000.
I emailed her back that all HCA's
have given $5,000 sign on bonuses ...that for 6-7 years, I have always heard that
5,000 was their standard bonus.
Is she getting gypped??

if i'm thinking correctly, a friend of mine who works at a HCA hospital got a $2,000 sign on bonus. 4 or 5000 sounds really nice!!!!

I worked for a (horrible) HCA hospital in 2001. I got $1,500. for a one year commitment, but no amount of money would have been worth that experience!

depends on your commitment and FTE as to the bonus you will get. HCA hospital I know of offers $5000. for fulltime (0.9 FTE) for 2 years if I remember correctly. Plus moving expenses in many cases. I should know; I have two friends who took advantage of this.

I think it depends on the hospital. A local HCA is currently offering 6,000. I'm not sure about the commitment.

5000 sign on bonus advertised in las vegas paper for hca facilities. dont know what the commitment is. Have a great day all!
HCA's are usually for one year..
I know of hospitals in southern Arizona and Texas and California
are offering $20,000 and $30, 000 for 3 year committment.s
$10,000 for each year.....Lots of foreign nurses snatching up those offers....
And HCA gives a $4-5,000 annual retention bonus to their FT employees too , as I understand it.

I used to work for an HCA hospital. I never did get a sign on bonus because I started working there before they initiated the bonus. The bonuses offered at that hospital were $1500-2000.
That was a year or so ago maybe it went up.
I think, though, if the sign on bonus is really high something must be wrong. Obvisiously the can not keep their help.

I currently work for an HCA hospital in middle management. I think the bonuses you speak of depend on the location and need of the particular area. We have sign on bonuses here, but they fluctuate, and I don't know of any retention bonuses. It must be regional.
