Hi all, I am currently working per diem in a clinic and full time RN in a hospital in a new york city area, now my boss is offering me 100000k base salary, 3 years contract, after two years, will have incentive bonuses based on productivity. He also offers 2 weeks of vacation, 1 week CME, 2 sick days, 8 holidays, dental, medical, malpractice insurance and 401k. we see almost 80- 90 patients every day. I am currently working as an RN, with 6 years of acute experience, making $50 an hour. I can easily make it if I pick up OT. But after a while just feel sick of on my feet all day. Initially I thought it was a good offer, I verbally accepted it, but haven't signed contract yet. I never learned how to negotiate because my job has always been a unionized job. I am thinking to quit my current RN job and start my new NP career, Just wanted to see what you guys think. Would you still negotiate and ask for a higher base salary? 3 years contract is a long commitment ... he said the physicians contract there is 5 year. The doctor is very passionate to train new staffs and the physicians and staffs do stay and work for him for over 10 years.

Hi, I am currently doing an one year accelerated nursing program for a BSN degree. I was wondering if anyone knows any hospitals that have nursing externships in the winter???

I just found out that I got accepted this week, Now I am just waiting for Stony Brook's reply! is anyone here also got accepted to Bing?

Hello, this is my first post here. I applied to Stony Brook and Binghamton University. Can anyone who are in the accelerated program give me some idea on how competitive their programs are? What was your GPA when you get in? any previous hospital experience? I have a 3.7 GPA in biochemistry and my prerequisite is 3.9. But I don't have any hospital experience. I know that in Binghamton nursing program, students always need to travel far way to other hospitals (even to syracuse in some cases) for clilnicals. I know Stony Brook has its own hospital, do the nursing students still need to travel to other sites (by car) for clinicals? also, when did you guys know whether you get accepted?
