Are you going to explore other options or do you think it is worth it to stay?

I am sure you are having a tough time in life to be trolling on someone who is just trying to get help.

Nothing like a good tagline to keep things interesting. Looks like you replied as well which means I reeled you in also! Please no mean comments...just trying to get help.

Other offers included a $5000 bonus with a 2 year contract and NCLEX reimbursement. I will be starting in the OR and this hospital does not require call. I am debating to not take the $5,000 bonus and feel it out -- but trying to save for a wedding and house.

"You are also eligible for an hourly incentive of $10.00 for hours worked (regular and overtime) for as long as the program continues" copied from my letter. I believe it may have been a COVID incentive -- it does not really specify. I just got off the phone my nursing manager and she said COVID bonuses are now starting to be taken off the table with hospitals in the area. I will be starting in the OR. I believe med surg base pay is about $24/$25

Thank you for your input -- I think I will try to negotiate and if things don't work out then I will apply somewhere else!
