NYP The Allen Hospital

[nursechini]

Hi all!

I am a new grad BSN living in nyc and am in the preliminary steps for an interview at NYP The Allen Hospital. I feel lucky to have even been contacted for a phone interview. I was wondering what base pay for a new grad is at this hospital in particular. I know the range for Cornell and Columbia but I assume the pay at Allen is different.

Also, if anyone works there and wants to talk about their impressions/how they are liking it that would be appreciated! :)

They pay at Allen and Columbia is the same. They are part of a bargaining collective. Only Cornell has a higher pay rate (by you end up paying for more stuff out of pocket). I've worked at all three. Columbia and Cornell are hardcore places to work but you will learn a lot. To come from them and go to allen is a slow down. Otherwise the entire system is about the same culture wise and it's nice being able to transfer from campus to campus every few years.

Hello! Can you be more specific about "hardcore places to work". Also, is the collective bargaining agreement through a union or is it a private union for nurses only through the employer?

I wish I could be more specific but it's kind of just exactly what I said lol. It's a hardcore place to work. The patients are hardcore the staff is hardcore the residents are hardcore, the acuity is hardcore, the expectations are hardcore. That can be good, bad, and both. When I was first hired, I came in as part of a group of 20 nurses. Two years later only 2 of us remained on the unit. It's very difficult but if you stick it out and you go anywhere else you'll be bored out of your mind.

I'm not sure what your question is about private union or through employer. The union is NYSNA for nurses and 1199 for ancillary staff. They each have their own websites that you can look through for more information. I love NYSNA but that's just because I like to yell, wave posters and picket lol.
