They are giving these bonuses because it is horrible work conditions .

I resigned 3 days before my 20K sign on was to be paid out. I read the writing on the wall, got through 4 shifts and said heck no I’m not going to be stuck here for 2 years. I have absolutely no regrets and it opened my eyes to the world of hurt that is our healthcare system. I work outpatient dialysis and pediatric home care and will never look for another hospital or long term care position.

Sign on bonuses for me is a no no. No one is keeping me in that trap. I come in and leave when it's not working.

Can you talk about new grad nurse residencies

How to protect your licences? Stay away from the sweat shop bedside.

Simple solution to sign on bonus, don't use the money until you are out of the time frame that requires you to pay back in case shit goes south.

It really is a trap! I’ll never take one again. Now I’m in a very bad position with like you said, the handwriting boldly on the wall 😢

As a mental health clinician this totally applies to us as well! Thank you so much. Just offered multiple sign on bonuses from different clinics /hospitals.

i remember during covid we would get the base experience adjusted rate and all these new contract nurses or floated nurses were getting double what I was getting with half the work being done. the primary nurses were responsible to do everything from documentation to bloodworks, medications...these nurses simply did pharmacy errands a few blood works, where they would miss and collapse all the veins...the nurses who were loyal to the hospital with 10-15 patients to take care of,,,,were never compensated, actually we were with a 1500 dollar bonus that was taxed...lol my blood churns !!!! i tell you ....when I remember how we were practically forced to go to work during covid...if we didn't want to be laid off...while the rest of the united states,,,,were at home getting unemployment checks LOL...what a world we live in...what a world..many nurses put themselves AND their families in jeopardy and this is how this country paid us....very good.

I accepted a bonus and I had to pay back $4000 bc that was the amount I had received thus far. I really received less bc it's taxed. Going forward I decline bonuses. I don't like feeling trapped or having to pay back anything.

How i wosh i had seen this video before accepting an offer. As a new grad there's there is this sign on bonus of 30k that i applied for but out of ignorance the company dupped me by refusing to give me that sign on bonus saying because i am a new grad without experience...now that I understand the reason behind sign on bonus am deeply hurt

Great content

What about when the company sells to a new business. Who's obligated to pay the sign on bonus?

What about the $5,000 -$10,000 sign on bonus? Also a problem? What about relocation expenses paid?

How does a sign on bonus jeopardize your license?

These Nursing Homes can throw out those kinda bonuses . Yet they cantstart a Maintenamce Tech $ 20 an hr if you go there & apply for a job .

Thank you !

Why doesn’t the BRN help their nurses out. Place laws to protect nurses from hospitals being unfair. Actually make laws that will make nurses want to stay working for these hospitals, I feel if this continues no one will want to work for the hospitals.
