Salaries in Queens and Long Island

Published

As a new graduate who studied in Europe and moved back to NYC I applied at quite a number of hospitals. The first one that offered me a job was Lenox Hill in Manhattan. Now I think it's okay over there. Not bad really, but living in Northern Queens the commute is getting to me. I really like the flex time schedule (11.5 hour nights 3 times a week) and the patient ratios are pretty good when they are enforced (8:1 on a med-surg floor) and the salary is not bad (I make 62,000 plus 1,200 BsN differential and 4800 night differential).

Truly what I would like is a similar deal somewhere more convenient. I am hoping that some of you work in a hospital in Queens or Long Island and know if the salary/hours/ratios are similar. At this point I would take a small paycut just for the relief of not having to hump it into the city every night I work.

Hospitals I would be interested in: Flushing Hospital, NYH of Queens, Mt. Sinai of Queens, North Shore of Queens, North Shore of Manhasset, Long Island Jewish, St Johns on Queens Blvd. If anyone has some info on any of these please post or email. Thanks alot!

Hi Great Scott,

I believe that the salaries for RNs at North Shore Manhasset is about $58,000 plus diff. I worked at the hospital about 5 years ago (medical secretary), and can definitely give thumbs up to them. LIJ is also another great Hospital.

Best of luck!

Hi great Scott,

I read you were from Europe. Which country are you from ? I am from France. I have a valid license for NY state since January, and I am planing to move to Queens on December. I saw you have a BSN, did you have to take some more courses or was your European Diploma considered as a BSN?

Thank you for reading me,

Thanks very much Kris. Actually they were first on my list when I was looking for a job. The only thing is they really gave me the runaround when I was trying to schedule an interview. Really soured me to the whole thing. Still, I have only heard good things about the hospital. Going to have to look into it more closely. Thanks!

Hi Dudette,

The course I took was 240ECTS and 3.5 years long. Considered a BsN in Europe and here as well. I am actually from New York, but I did my studies in Finland. Good luck to you.

Thank you Great Scott for your answer.

My course was 3.5 years long too, but I don't know anything about the ECTS points. It is like we are not using this system in France. But I know that all the European diplomas are considered as equivalent and we are allowed to work in any European country with our diploma. So I assume they are all the same amount of ECTS points... at least I hope so!!!

I hope you'll find a nice job in your area,

Hi Jana, where were you in Europe?

I am surprised to hear about your difficulties finding a job there. As you, I thought it was as easy as in Europe because of the shortage... well, I'll move on December to Queens, I better get ready for a long search too!!! :rolleyes:

Good luck to you and let us now,
