so who has received a sign-on bonus at a new job? How much and how long of a contract do you have to sign? Just curious. . .

Those days are pretty much long gone. It is a buyers market........ for the hospitals.

Signing bonus? What's that? No way . . . :D

No sign on bonuses in this area either except for very specialized nurses. There are at least still jobs, so I'm not going to complain.

They are starting to show up in job ads around our area again. $1500-$3000 I think. Lots of jobs too.

It wasn't much but I did get one. I got a $250 bonus for the first 40 hours after I finished orientation, $500 after 300 hours and another $500 after an additional 300 hours. I didn't have to sign a contract but it did only apply if I took the NOC shift. As a new grad I was just thankful to find a FT job so the little extra cash was like the cherry on top :)

I had a $4,000 one but that was back in 2008. I believe shortly after I started working the company stopped sign on bonuses for all but the most high need of areas. I had a 2 year commitment anyway,

I had to check the date on this thread when I read the title.

I have not seen any bonuses listed in the job ads around here.

Haven't seen those since about 2002 or 2003.

our facility policy is NO sign-on bonuses. However, we award a bonus to employees who refer someone we hire for a particular position. These awards have time limits and jobs to fill are posted. For instance, right now we want 3 critical care nurses and a CRNA. If I referred someone who is hired, and stays at least a year I get $5000, half in 6 months and balance in 12 months. Once those positions are filled the offer dies.

I just signed on for twenty-four months with a $10,000 bonus.
