Oh and anything more than 5 patients on a step-down unit sounds dangerous! I was at a different hospital in the area where the step-down unit nurses got 4 patients, on days and on nights, which is much more reasonable.
park Slope is gorgeous though. I loved that area.

Which hospital did you work at with the 4:1 ratio?

I'm originally from Brooklyn & I'm considering moving back up there. Florida is just not the place for me for many reasons. I also want to work in a hospital with a union. Tired of the crap the hospitals get away with down here without a union.

Does anyone know the starting salary for SIU(Staten Island University Hospital) and St Vincents Madical center in Staten Island.
-Thanks

Do you work in Staten Island now? I'm in Florida now in a Cardiac Stepdown unit. I am considering moving back to N.Y. (original home). I also want to advance to a CCU unit. Does anyone have info on N.Y. hospitals in Brooklyn, S.I. or Manhattan that are known for Cardiac & their salaries & work environment ??Thank you.

But there is one benefit NYC has that CA doesn't have...you can totally get by without having a car which in itself can be a major expense.

That's because in place like Manhattan it costs up to $1,000/month to rent a parking spot. NYC is so crowded and expensive...

And you can not compare NY climate to CA climate either...

I've heard that at some NY hospitals ratios are 1:7, 1:8. Is that true?

You know what?

I am hearing rumours that NSLIJ will hire new grads at 80K...

Can anyone here confirm or deny that?

Working as a tech, I do certainly appreciate the value of "hospital quality" over salary. I will be more than willing to work for a little less pay in a hospital that takes excellent care of their staff. Little things such as adequate break areas, clean work environment and comprehensive benefits mean alot as well. Although, most likely, the good hospitals pay well on top of all of that because they have to stay competitive. It's a great time to be a nurse (or so they say).... :rolleyes:

Thanks for the information, Bleta10. I'll be interviewing with them in March for a Med/Surg position. I don't graduate 'til May? Have you already graduated?

bleta10 · Jan 18, 2008

I graduated May of 2007. Took the summer of and went to europe to spend some time with my children because i had a baby during nursing school and i needed some time off. Came back in september and took the NCLEX in october. I passes it with 75-questions.

If you plan to work right after school dont waste any time start looking for jobs. It is not as easy for new graduates especially if you want to go into a specialty.

Hi bleta10. You sound Albanian. I am too. I will be graduating this May from Nursing school with BSN. Can you tell me more about this hospital and where it is? I have no clue because I live in Michigan and i plan to relocate to NY city. Thanks in advance.
