$14,000 NEUROLOGY EMPLOYMENT & REFERRAL BONUS

Greetings Neuro Nurses!

Well, it's here! Yes, I know, autumn is here, too (so they say), but so is the $14,000 SIGN ON BONUS for experienced Neurology OR nurses!

It's an exciting time in Neurosurgery at Barnes-Jewish Hospital! As mentioned in our earlier posts on this blog site, we are expanding our Neurosurgery OR Suites in January 2008 and we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our new intra-operative MRI equipment (see our 9/28/07 post). BJH will be one of first hospitals in the world that will offer this amazing technology for intra-operative use.

The employment and referral bonus program is quite simple, and it applies to experienced Neurosurgery RNs and Surgical Technicians. Here's how it works:

- $14,000 Employment Bonus to external new hires.

This bonus would be paid as follows: $3,000 at 30 days, $3,000 at 90 days, $3,000 at 180 days, and $5,000 at one year of employment. A two-year lump-sum employment commitment is required.

- $14,000 Referral Bonus paid to Barnes-Jewish Hospital staff employees and managers who refer an experienced Neurosurgery OR Nurse or an experienced Neurosurgery Surgical Technician.*

The bonus would be paid as follows: $4,000 upon referral's start date, $5,000 after six months of new hire’s employment and $5,000 after one year of new hire’s employment.

There are some important ground rules you should be aware of:

* The Employment bonus will not be paid to employees transferring within BJH or from other BJC Hospital Service Organizations.

* RN's and Surgical Technicians must have a minimum of two years Neurosurgery experience in an academic medical center and/or through agency or military assignments.

* Referral Program/Employment Bonus offered for hires with a start date before December 31, 2007.

* Relocation assistance is available.

Well, there you are. What a fantastic opportunity! Not only to get some extra pocket change, but, more importantly, an opportunity to bring to Barnes-Jewish Hospital your special nursing skills and dedication to excellence in patient care.

Yes, these are truly exciting times in Neurology at BJH ... the latest in technology, the best nurses, physicians, and allied health professionals, state-of-the-art facilities, the best in high quality patient care, and CASH!! Imagine, getting a nice bonus AND teaming up with one of the top 10 hospitals in the United States!

So, tell your friends. Pass the word. Our neurology patients want to receive the very best in medical care. By becoming a member of an outstanding multidisciplinary team, you become a part of developing a customized treatment plan second to none.

And that's what it's all about ... EXCELLENCE IN PATIENT CARE.
