More about Westchester Medical Center
The hospital is academic and affiliated with New York Medical College; system headquarters sit in Valhalla, and open roles post on wmchealthjobs.org. Nursing here is union-represented. MidHudson Regional Hospital sits in the same system after acquisition, so coworker notes from that campus can still color what you hear about training, pace, and management. Pay for Kingston RNs is not clearly posted in the sources behind this page, so you will want a concrete offer letter before you compare rent. Kingston itself runs a little above the national cost of living, and a plain one-bedroom often lands around $2,000–$3,000 a month.
