   I'm in a similar situation. I have been a nurse on a surgical stepdown unit for three years. I then transferred to the SICU and have been working there for almost 1 year. I'm also in an Adult NP program and will be finishing Spring 2011. I'm plan...

4. ADNs get hired in NYC?

   daillpnut replied to AGal110's topic in New York

   I'm sure ADN graduates would consider a nursing home position as a last resort. Personally, I feel that a more worthwhile experience as a new graduate should be had elsewhere. Having said that, ADNs today are having trouble landing desirable nursing ...

   New York Presbyterian - Weill Cornell is on a freeze & will not accept new grad ADNs unless they're enrolled in a BSN program as per the Nurse Recruiter. I tried to refer my girlfriend, but even she couldn't get in with me as a reference. Maybe...

   I graduated from SVCMC in 2006. I will be graduating from a RN-BSN program in 2 weeks:yeah:. As for being accredited, not sure of the accreditation status of SVCMC. I'd imagine it was, but what do I know. My license says the same thing as the nex...

   daillpnut replied to Dr.Nurse2b's topic in Uniform/Gear

   That was the best laugh I've had in awhile . I can so relate to the OP. When I first wore IguanaMed, I got so many compliments from my co-workers. "Oh, I like your scrubs! What kind are they?" After reading the first few sentences of the OP, I was th...

8. New York Presbyterian PHARM EXAM!

   The exam consisted of 50 multiple choice questions. The 25 calculations were a breeze. The other 25, were all about drugs. If you follow the booklet they mailed to you, you should do fine. The med questions, you'll need to know major side effects...

    Also, one reminder. If your looking to transfer credit for a 'Developmental Psy' course, SVCMC will only grant credit for a course that covered the WHOLE lifespan.

11. St. Vincent's CMC - Queens

    daillpnut replied to barbnyc's topic in New York

    The beauty of SVCMC is that you can take your prereq's at the same time you take the clinical aspect of the program. Say for instance if you were fresh out of high school, you can go right into the clinical phase along with your A&P, Micro, Psy,...

    daillpnut replied to barbnyc's topic in New York

    I'm graduating from SVCMC this year, class of 2006. Woo! :mortarboard: I remember the entrance exam to be relatively easy (and I'm from far from being an egg-head). Just purchase the book SVCMC suggested and you should be fine. There is NO science po...

13. Starting Salaries

    daillpnut replied to dollygallardo's topic in New York

    Hospitals around the city will have ABOUT the same pay range. From what I know, starting is around 65K. Night diff would be an additional 4-5K. These figures are based on what ADN's are being offered. Don't know about BSN's.
