1. Do school offer their two year program if you are not accepted into their Accelerated prog

   TxxRN replied to cadrea's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Pace University does this. If you apply to their 1-year program and you have a solid interview and they like you, but for whatever reason they think the 1-year program might be too challenging for you, they will automatically place you in their 2-ye...

2. Getting MSN/MBA dual degree?

   TxxRN replied to learningnsgstudent's topic in ADN/BSN

   These are my thoughts exactly. Thank you for creating this thread. Sorry I can't share any expertise, but looking forward to the comments.

3. Highest Paying Hospitals NYC

   TxxRN replied to MommyRN15's topic in New York

   Yes, Sloan is one of the highest paying hospitals, if not THE highest. And that's speaking of the day shift before figuring in large differentials for working nights and/or weekends. Plus, most would agree it's a very wonderful and supportive environ...

4. Grad Nurse Interview

   TxxRN replied to Jupiterxo's topic in Job Hunt

   Yay, I'm glad you survived it and had a positive experience - although it was a short one! I agree that you should still continue to interview, because you'll need a back-up if this one somehow doesn't happen for you, or you get uncomfortable waitin...

5. Unit Manager Demands I Cut My Hair

   TxxRN replied to Nurse Cookie Swirl's topic in Relations

   Somehow I feel like your manager is exposing her own underlying biases rather than simply trying to adhere to company policy (which I'm sure doesn't have a section dedicated to dreadlocks). If a chunk of a curly-haired woman's hair was found on the ...

6. Pocket Snacks for 12 Hour Shift?

   TxxRN replied to westieluv's topic in General Nursing

   Huh? So do you suggest nurses starve until the underlying issue is resolved?? I don't think anyone would disagree that there's definitely a bigger issue that requires many nurses to rely on snacking rather than being blessed with full-hour meal break...

7. Grad Nurse Interview

   TxxRN replied to Jupiterxo's topic in Job Hunt

   It's very exhausting to get yourself worked up over something you can't control. What you CAN control is how prepared you are for the interview and how confident you perform. What's also exhausting is stressing over variables you don't even have yet ...

8. Has anyone in here been an ER scribe?

   TxxRN replied to NoctuRNal_UnicoRN's topic in General Nursing

   When I was an ER scribe I never considered it a money maker but rather an opportunity to enhance my overall resume when it came time to apply to schools. With that said, schools generally do not consider a scribe job a type of clinical experience. It...

9. New York Presbyterian/Columbia (NYP Email) New Grad

   TxxRN replied to jlc128's topic in Job Hunt

   Please enjoy your graduation instead of stressing! I never check my application statuses, it'll drive you crazy. Be content with how you performed in your interview, or realize some things you can do differently for next time, and just wait for the...

10. New York Presbyterian/Columbia (NYP Email) New Grad

    TxxRN replied to jlc128's topic in Job Hunt

    I'm a new grad.... For NYP I don't know if it's the typical time or not. Maybe it differs depending on the department and if you're a new grad vs experienced. I don't know if others were told that timeframe or not but it's what my particular recruite...

11. New York Presbyterian/Columbia (NYP Email) New Grad

    TxxRN replied to jlc128's topic in Job Hunt

    I applied as a new grad and received a tentative offer in PICU. I was told the next residency that has openings won't begin until September, which is too long for me not to have an income, so I've accepted an offer at Sloan Kettering instead. Good ...

13. NCLEX question

    TxxRN replied to akruc353's topic in General Students

    This forum is totally for advice and guidance! I think if you just add in your own thinking first, people like myself won't misperceive your intention. I see some posters have helped you already in the other threads, so by all means continue if you s...

14. NCLEX question

    TxxRN replied to akruc353's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry but seeing that you joined yesterday and seeing the multiple threads you've started, I really think you're using this forum incorrectly. I agree with the poster who commented before me that if you're going to pose a question please be thoro...

15. New York Presbyterian/Columbia (NYP Email) New Grad

    TxxRN replied to jlc128's topic in Job Hunt

    Hi, I graduated last week and was unaware that NYP had new grad opportunities or that the deadline would have passed before our semester was over. Does anyone know if this was the last chance for a December 2015 grad to apply there? I've looked on ...
