  8. RN salary 10 years experience

    bklynbaby replied to ZenNurse2016's topic in New York Nursing

    I meant $7,500 annually. In other words they will pay you experience differential for outside experience $1,000 for each year up to a maximum of $7,500 for 10 years. You would get the base pay of...

  12. Long time experience RN w/new NP license ready for NP role-enough financial benefit

    bklynbaby replied to hello101's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Where I work the NPs have been getting 3% yearly increases so in three years you would hit the 10k mark and keep going. Also since the hospital is unionized the NPs also get about a $1000 yrly...

  16. FNP in NYC

    bklynbaby replied to NurseKJ's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Those two courses involve papers and I think 621 (nurse concepts?) has a group project involved. It might be a bit much to do in a 5 week summer semester. But if you dont mind writing papers you could...
