My hospital orientation was 4 hours at the Manhattan campus then 4 hours at the Queens campus all on one day. My per diem RN orientation was 6 hours at the Queens campus. My first day on the unit is tomorrow, but yes, my nurse manager was very flexib...
Hi nycRN89, I work at Mt. Sinai in Queens as a per diem RN on the ICU stepdown unit. Because I'm a per diem with experience, our orientations will be totally different. I wish I could be more help to you about that. But I will say that I really like ...
The October 10th orientation will be a hospital orientation called New Beginnings. I believe you will then be told when and where to report for the Nursing orientation. Congratulations on your new job!
One thing that has not been mentioned is the new grad retention rate. Not only does it cost a hospital alot of money to train a new grad RN (they are paying an RN salary but not yet getting the workload out of them) but many, many new grads leave the...

As far as I know, yes, it is the last interview. Congratulations on doing so well in the interview process. The Fellowship Trainer interview is more of a formality; I'm sure you'll do just fine. Again, congratulations, it sounds like you'll be accept...

Hi Lakers, Congratulations on getting an interview and best of luck! Although the MICU may not be the unit you want, it is better to get your foot in the door, go through the fellowship, and then look for a transfer opportunity once you've fulfilled ...
Hey everyone! Does anyone have any info on working for Mt. Sinai Queens per diem? What are they like to work for? Anyone know the per diem pay rate? Any info at all would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Sue

There's a few things to think about here. 1) there's not a nursing school around that prepares you for the real-world of nursing...you have to be trained on-the-job just to be a staff nurse...never mind a nurse manager! 2) imagine how all of the nurs...

Hi there...if you do a search on allnurses you'll come up with at least one thread about the fellowship...you can probably get some of your questions answered there...I went through their fellowship for the MICU at LIJ...it's a pretty extensive progr...

I agree it was rude...but the right thing to do would be (1) state in the job posting on your website that BSN is required...not preferred and (2) read a resume properly! You may want to try the NSLIJ health system...they seem more willing to hire ne...

I hope you have a BSN because I applied there with 17 months MICU experience, got an interview and was told, as the HR rep was walking down the hall to her office, that "oops. I misread your resume. I thought you already had your BSN." And that wa...
Hey everyone, For anyone considering SUNY Delhi as an online option for getting their BSN but are concerned because they are not accredited; they're candidacy for NLNAC accreditation has been approved and they will have their accreditation visit in O...
Hey everyone, I was checking the Maimonides website for jobs and came across this posting. It's for med/surg and it clearly states New Grads are welcome. Here's the link: http://www.maimonidesmed.org/body.cfm?xyzpdqabc=0&id=9&action=detail&...
