which hospital in ny area best place for new grad?

RNikki · Apr 26, 2003

little info about myself I am a recent grad and have been working in public health since grad (home care with VNS then school nursing) I love the latter but I've been fighting the naysayers who say I need that "med-surg experience" Well, I've succumbed to serve my sentence for at least for one year.. or maybe 6 months.

Anybody out there with recommendtions, I plan to relocate to Bronx, NY area (will consider Mt. Vernon/White Plains). I would appreciate the feedback, I might even stay on for nights and work school nursing in day. :confused:

Can't say I know this is true but I've heard about Westchester Medical. Some schools that I know send their students to VA Hospital, St. Barnabas Medical Center, Bronx Lebanon Hospital, Lincoln Medical and Mental Nursing Home.

Good Luck to you!

Do you have your BSN? I've noticed that many hospitals (at least in NYC) require a BSN. Good luck in your job pursuit.

Hi RNikki, I have sent a PM to you about hospitals in the lower Westchester area.

i do have my BSN, 2banurse. I also heard the VA is a good place to work, they also seem not to have too many openings. I'm going to do some research on Lawrence. From what I've seen on the net Westchester Med has changed somewhat since the nsg strike, but it still sounds like it is pretty short-staffed considering the volume of pts.

thanks again boggle for the PM.

i'm originally from buffalo, ny and left there 8 yrs ago due to limited full-time positions amongst other reasons.

i am considering a travel contract to nyc so i can visit my sisters[3] who live in pittsburg, boston, and buiffalo respectively. the travel agencies seem to have many positions, but i don't know where a good place to work/live is in nyc.....suggestions?

How can you work nights and days at two different jobs.... you need to get some sleep at some point!!!
