NYP & NYU salaries, ratios, hours.

[chestcompressor]

Hi everyone,

Just curious, planning on moving to NYC with one year experience from California, just curious to a few things at NYU and NYPresbyterian or Sloan Kettering:

1. Salaries: What are their hourly rates for full time, and per diem?

2. Generally what are the nurse to patient ratios? Surgical ICU? Acute care? Intermediate care?

3. Hours: What is considered "full time"? I work at a University hospital where 3 12hour shifts, 36 hours a week, or 72 hours a pay-period is considered full time.

Please help me! It would be much appreciated, this is a big move!

theres a sticky with the salaries of almost all the hospitals above this thread

patient to nurse ratios vary ..in my ER you could (i work nights) have a night where you have 2 patients, or you could have a night where you have 2 ICU patients on top of 6 ER patients and they keep coming

on the telemetry floor its 8:1 theyre trying to implement that throughout the hospital, its normal to have 10 patients to one nurse

ICU is 2:1

thats just my hospital though, could be different in other places

good

My hospital (affiliated w/ NYP) pays $34/hour base salary and has education/certification/experience/night differentials, which can bring it up significantly.

Per Diem pays $49/hr.

Full time nurses work 13 shifts every four weeks, but you have five weeks vacation, about 10 personal days and 5 sick days.
