New York City Is Paying Nurses $113 per hour In Response To Coronavirus

We reported yesterday that a nurse quit her job after being asked to care for Coronavirus patients. The nurse took to instagram live to lament before calling it quit.

“I was sent to a Coronavirus floor [of the hospital]. They know that I have kids at home, who I cannot sent away,” she explained adding that she’s a survivor of breast cancer.

But New York City are taking drastic steps to make sure their nurses are encouraged and more are enticed to apply for the job within the state. The city is trying to lure every nurse it can into the city with money.

According to new reports, New York City hospitals are now offering anyone with a 4-year nursing degree $113 per hour which is more than twice what nurses in smaller cities are making. Registered nurses will be paid $113 an hour ($18,000 per month) plus they will get a hotel room paid for by the hospital.

The generous offers aren’t just for registered nurses. If you are a certified nurse, you can make $42 an hour ($6,720 per month). Plus you are given an $800/mo stipend to be used at an Airbnb rental.
