New Hire Bonus Question

Published

For those of you out there that are being hired into the field as an RN are you eing offered sign on bonuses? If so, around how much? I just finished nursing school and have been a stay at home mom for 9 years and I am getting back into the interview, job negotiation thing and I am just curious. Thanks for you input. By the way, I am new to the forum and you have all been so helpful, informative, and funny!

Specializes in ICU, Home health, Peds, School Nursing.

Thanks for all the info. I truly appreciate the input. Never even considered that a bonus could be offered because of such a high turn over. Told you I've been out of the work field for 9 years. This website is so great and so helpful. Have a good day!

:eek: :eek: :redlight: :redlight: 2 points. First, BEWARE of sign-on bonus! Second...money is NOT everything! I learned first hand myself. The bonus may seem $$$, but received 1st bonus in 2 checks with LOTS of taxes taken out. Worst hospital to work at...EVER! The travelers would come to work and refuse to return to the unit. Lots of issues such as: unsafe staffing, management horrible, longer term employees not helping newer employees...just awful experience. Thank God I got out of that hospital. Just my opinion. :trout:

I was offered 3K as a sign-on bonus with a contract for 1 year, but quit from that horrible place after a few months without taking it.
