I am looking at joining a hospitals ICU unit and was floored with their expecations. To join this unit you have to sign a two year contract. If you leave before the end of your two years of work for any reason you have to pay them $10,000.
The hospital has a 20 week training program for ICU nurses and I can understand they may want to recoup some of their costs for early exiters.....but $10000??
Is this common in any other cities? Needless to say I will be interviewing elsewhere.
