NYP Cornell & Colombia

U.S.A. New York

Published

So I have an interview later this month with NYP at the Cornell campus! I am super excited, and of course very nervous! I am currently working in Michigan at a unionized hospital, and am making the move to NYC soon. Going into this interview I thought that RNs at NYP were unionized in gerenal, but I just came across information stating that the Cornell campus is NOT unionized like the Colombia campus. This makes me nervous. Does this mean that Cornell can start me off at any salary they like? I am hoping there are nurses out there who are familiar with both campuses that could give me some input on this. How are the starting salaries different between the hospitals? What about health benefits, retirement plans (does either hospital do employer matching contributions?), vacation/sick time?? Or anything else you would like to share about these two hospitals are similar and/or different from eachother. I know there are older threads about this, but I would like to get updated comments on this. Thanks!

For those who currently or used to work for the NYP system....

Is it easy to transfer from facility to facility? Like say I want to transfer from Cornell to Columbia? What is the policy before transferring within the system? Is it 6 months or a year?

Transferring between facilities isn't particularly difficult but any transfer, whether between departments or between facilities, is only permissible after a year.

Can anyone share their opinion on working for Cornell or Columbia?
