Anybody have any insight to the pay and work environment of the Suffolk County hospitals - and which are unions vs. non-unions?

So... how long does it take to get your license endorsed? Because I've tried calling 12 times and have left 3 voicemails and 3 emails with no response. I heard this is on par for them, however. Too bad all the complaints they get isn't enough to get the workers fired for unprofessionalism and revamped their whole office.

Anybody know the starting pay for new grads?

Relocating due to a relationship. Also, 1k for a one bedroom that does not include utilities is very cheap for me considering what I am used to where I live now. I've heard conflicting information on cost of living in VA Beach, and VA in general, and am looking for as much input as I can collect. I'm definitely looking more into the Baltimore area as of right now.

Hi everyone, I'm graduating in December with my BSN degree. I have nearly 9 years of experience as an EMT-CC (I'm from New York, so this is pretty much paramedic level with IV experience, EKG, intubation, etc). I'm looking to move to the NOVA area, DC, Baltimore, or even Virginia Beach areas. Does anybody have any input on job salaries vs. cost of living, which hospitals to consider, etc? I'm hoping to do emergency department, or even critical care/ICU nursing with my background. Also, does anybody think my EMT-CC experience will help me with my job application/salary? I'm been pursuing these threads trying to get a handle on whether or not the new nurse grad salary is worth it in some areas with cost of living and nothing is really updated. Thanks!

Did you ever make that spreadsheet?
