Hi. So I got a written offer from a large hospital system on the opposite side of the country. I'm really interested in this hospital and want to take it but they only offer $2500 for relocation assistance which is a lot less than I've been offered from hospitals that are much closer. The other hospitals all offered me $5,000 expect for one hospital which offered me $10,000. Do you think I can email this hospital back and see if its possible to increase the bonus since its such a large move or is this not something that hospitals do? This is my first job in the nursing field so I'm not sure how it works. Thanks!
I was offered $30000 sign on bonus by this hospital in Allentown,PA. The catch(and there is always a catch) it required a 2 year contract. No way I said!
