Hi South Oaks Hospital, LI

Published

Any one heard of south oaks hospital in long island? I just got hired there wondering how it was.. Any feedback will be appreciated!!

How much is the pay?

Hey. I didn't get hired yet. They said they have a night shift available. I was open to night or days. Pay for nights I believe is $66k/yr rather than days $61/yr

You mentioned you like working there. Did you feel it was an appropriate length orientation? Do you feel safe there? I assume you work days

What about the hourly rate? Yes I felt safe orientation is 4-6 weeks they will float you everywhere doing orientation so u don't feel lost when ur by yourself if u don't feel comfortable u can always ask for more time everyone is great to work wirh

Don't know the exact hourly rate. I wasn't offered anything yet. First interview only told me the day vs night shift salary for new grad. They did call my current boss today for employment verification so I wonder if they will offer me. Do you still work there?

Yes I work there and work days I highly suggest u not work nights cuz ur the only nurse on the unit with no help night nurses are always complaining

Thanks for the advice. I will have to see what they have available I guess.

So they called yesterday to offer me nights on child unit. I asked of there was any days open on any unit. She said she would find out and call me back. What do u think? Know anything about the child adolescent unit?

Is it child or adolescent?

Now they offered me days as a float. So it's either nights on the child adolescent unit or days as a float. I'm not sure how I feel about either being a new grad.

Child and adolescent unit is always a challenge thy are the ones usually acting out more than the adults..I say go for days there's more help available to u and u are not alone

Is it passing meds? Or sitting in on groups? My psych rotation was on a locked unit and only passed meds.

Nurses didnt do anything else really. But I was there 3-11.
