Stamford Health

You need a BSN and less than twelve months of nursing experience; the Summer 2025 cohort is listed on the Careers page, and Sofia Iannuzzi is the contact. For experienced nurses, posted sign-ons reach up to $30,000 for full-time OR Staff RN roles across shifts and full-time L&D nights, and up to $15,000 for critical care float RNs with at least two years who take full-time nights. Evening, night, weekend, and holiday premiums apply. Some staff RNs say the base hourly rate and ratios could improve, and that those differentials—and the retirement match—help fill the gap. Benefits start early: health insurance on day one, PTO that accrues from day one (21–31 days a year, up to 450 hours carryover), six paid holidays, paid parental leave, and a 403(b) with an employer contribution plus match. Parking on site is free, and a shuttle runs to the Stamford train station. The campus is mid-change. A $275 million multi-year plan covers a new cancer center, conversion of the current cancer space to behavioral health, rehab relocation, and parking upgrades, with construction expected around 2027. Tuition reimbursement and career-ladder or skill-based pay are available if you want room to grow past your first role here.
