Stock Options in Nursing

[YayArea90]

Hello all, I have an inquiry for you all. I currently work with a newer nurse in a hospital in the Bay Area in an critical care unit. This nurse has just shy of a year's worth of critical care experience. He is expressing interest in a nursing position that includes stock options. Any recommendations on a position in the Bay Area that might include stock options that I could inform him of? Thank you in advance!

Hi!

The only hospital/corporation that I know of with stock options is HCA. In the Bay Area it'll be Regional Medical Center in San Jose and Good Samaritan in Los Gatos. RN that works on the floor do not get stock options as it'll be a conflict of interest. I don't believe the managers get stock options either as I've never heard them talk about it. I'm assuming it will have to be some directorship position or higher. If he wants stock options he will have to look at positions without direct patient care.
