1. Kings County Pay Question

   ga_super replied to Birdsofprey's topic in New York

   All HHC hospitals have the same pay scales and differential rates. Night shift differential at HHC is about $6k/year and BSN is $900. I'm not certain on experience pay, I know HHC gives $900/year per year of experience for HHC employees but I'm not s...

2. Med errors being investigated

   ga_super replied to Willi1163's topic in New York

   What exactly was the med error? Do you have liability insurance? They'll provide you with a lawyer to defend you, if you don't have one you should pay out of pocket for one.

   ga_super replied to ChrisB718's topic in New York

   Do you mind sharing what hospital or health system this is?

4. Highest Paying Hospitals NYC

   ga_super replied to MommyRN15's topic in New York

   All the city position salaries are listed on their website, starting salary now is roughly ~$75k for daytime and ~$80k for nights. HHC's salary is annual instead of hourly so it's tricky to figure out how that equates to an hourly salary.

5. How hard is it to get a nursing job in New York City?

   ga_super replied to Kaitlyn.w's topic in New York

   Anyone with a pulse can find a job in a nursing home but you won't be getting any job offers from a hospital with only an ADN.

   What's a real city hospital? There's many trauma 1 hospitals in brooklyn.

7. Omg I'm so broke!!!

   ga_super replied to christina.adams2889's topic in New York

   Upstate's pay is lower because the cost of living is lower, as you said you bought a house for $100k. You options are limited, either move or find a second job.

8. City Job or Private?

   ga_super replied to stillalice's topic in New York

   I also work at a HHC hospital and wonder the same thing. Some private hospitals in nyc offer better benefits such as shorter vesting time for the pension and higher pay to make up for not getting "free" health insurance. The main reason I think I mig...

   ga_super replied to NYnurse17's topic in New York

   Sounds like a scam, you should stay away. You can usually find something in the $35+hr range without much effort.

10. Associate degree new grad working in nursing home

    ga_super replied to kerrysilo's topic in New York

    300 in one week? Quality is better than quantity, apply to 3-5 listings a day and make sure you write a coverletter that properly responds to the employer's requirement. Maybe you should contact your school's career center and have them take a look a...

11. RN working as a CNA

    ga_super replied to ImmaRNnow's topic in New York

    That's the dumbest idea I've ever heard. You're held responsible to your highest license, so if anything were to go wrong with the patient you will be held responsible as an RN even though you're employed as a cna. Also no hospital will hire you as a...

12. New grad RN cant find job. HELP

    ga_super replied to jasRNLTC's topic in New York

    If you're hurting for money you can find a job at a nursing home through an agency, it's pretty easy. I don't know who told you working at a nursing home hurts your career but they're wrong. I started out in a nursing home and got hired at a hospital...

13. Which hospitals in NYC hire associate degree grads

    ga_super replied to Jae89's topic in New York

    I don't think you're allowed to work as a nursing assistant if you have a RN license. I'm in a similar boat as Calvarez89 in that I'm a newly licensed RN enrolled in a BSN program. I earned my license in July and decided to take a position in a n...

14. Need Advice For NYC Based Part-Time BSN Programs

    ga_super replied to SamB91's topic in New York

    Depends on your finances, if you don't want to rack up any debt then go with a CUNY ADN program followed by a rn to bsn program. I graduated from Medgar this May and I'm currently preparing for my boards. Overall it's a good program, it has the same ...

15. CUNY: City Tech or Medgar Evers

    ga_super replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in New York

    Well I don't have too much data to be able to compare MEC's program to others but I like it so far other than the fact that it's stressful but that seems to be the norm no matter what nursing school you go to. Something that I like about cuny's nu...
