1. Should nurses be able to listen to music at work?

   NYnurse17 replied to RockinNurse2018's topic in General Nursing

   I agree that soft, ambient music can be okay, sometimes even beneficial. Anything else seems odd inside the patient room without their request.

2. Help, failed first exam in Med-Surg

   NYnurse17 replied to sandy 45's topic in General Students

   You can definitely recover! Don't waste your time looking for roundabouts like test banks. Although practice questions will help you! You might try putting together a study group and go over what you are learning in class, what you are reading, try m...

3. Studying- You may be doing it wrong

   NYnurse17 replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Students

   Paying attention during class instead of frantically writing notes was always helpful. This was usually better achieved when professors provided slides with the base of the information, you can really absorb it that way and ask questions in the momen...

4. Paleo/Primal Diet?

   NYnurse17 replied to 7student7's topic in Education

   I agree that I would not feel comfortable recommending this to patients. If this is for yourself I would look at the other side of things via plant-based diet. Lots of research.

5. Influenza vaccine

   NYnurse17 replied to Grobyc82's topic in Education

   I've heard it touted as the biggest joke in medicine and I tend to agree, but not for the misconceived reasons here. Unfortunately working in a hospital we are mostly forced to get one. Otherwise there's no way I would get one.

6. NYP Hiring Process

   NYnurse17 replied to Puppylove992's topic in New York

   Great! I was able to see my status right away. They also told me that they would contact my recruiter and have her reach out to me but that never happened. It's certainly hard to hold out hope for this position. I'm going to have to reach out to thin...

   NYnurse17 replied to Puppylove992's topic in New York

   I still can't reply on PM but Wow! Thank you for replying. That makes me feel a lot better. I guess I was just so concerned because the floor manager told me to expect something the week after my interview. Now I feel bad for badgering them a little ...

9. NYP Hiring Process

   NYnurse17 replied to Puppylove992's topic in New York

   I basically had the same thing happen. An interview (both HR and hiring manager in same day) at the end of January, It seemed that it went extremely well. I was told to expect something the next week and nothing. I've followed up via email once and c...

    NYnurse17 replied to bjorklover's topic in New York

    Thank you for the encouragement. I still haven't heard anything, but I was doing some more research today and realized they have two pages that describe the new grad residency. One (Nursing Jobs | NYU Langone Health) calls for GPA over 3.5, and trans...
