1. New Grad with two full time jobs in NYC... Being a guy helps?

   Nurse212 replied to kobebryant's topic in New York

   Having two different jobs in the same year will NOT constitute 2 years of experience. It will simply be recognized as having worked in two different areas of specialty. If you can handle working 4-6 days of the week and enjoy the two salaries, why n...

2. New York Presbyterian BSN only?

   Nurse212 replied to Jgruber215's topic in New York

   Negative. Not only are you wrong in your presumptions, you're essentially dead wrong. Regardless of ****** overlooking all 4 institutions (Cornell, Columbia, Allen and Morgan Stanley Children's Hosp), Columbia has been known, for many years, to be t...

3. New York Presbyterian BSN only?

   Nurse212 replied to Jgruber215's topic in New York

   It largely depends upon which hospital within NYP you apply to. For instance, if you apply to Columbia Presbyterian (Uptown Manhattan) with only an associates, you could get hired if you do well with the interview. On the other hand, if you apply to ...

4. If you are a NYC NEW GRAD and need a job....

   Nurse212 replied to nycNurse2b's topic in New York

   That is correct. I have been working at NY Presbyterian for 4 years and have recently tried to get a fellow girlfriend a job there, but, as per the recruiter, they will not take any ADN nurses, especially without any experience. Let me be clear, whil...

   I worked at HSS a few years ago. For those that care, here are the Pros vs. Cons.. PROS: It's a very well organized hospital. You have brand new equipment. The place is always clean. The fellow staff nurses tend to be friendly and most are ver...

8. Cornell Presbyterian Pharmacology Exam

   Nurse212 replied to Nurse212's topic in New York

   Thank you very much for the book information. I'm figuring that with 1-2 weeks of time for study, I can probably go ahead and read the entire book while answering all questions within the chapters and then, towards the end, just knock out all of the...

9. Cornell Presbyterian Pharmacology Exam

   Nurse212 replied to Nurse212's topic in New York

   Problem is, I've heard from 3 reliable sources that the Pharm exam they give at Columbia Pres (Uptown) is completely different from the one they give at Cornell Pres (Downtown). I mean, we are talking polar opposites here... Still, I'd like to know ...

11. Cornell Presbyterian Pharmacology Exam

    Nurse212 replied to Nurse212's topic in New York

    OR, What book did they recommend for study? Also, all they did was recommend a book for study? Did they not even provide you with an outline or study sheet to breakdown the meds? While we all know that the calculations portions of the exam is a bree...

13. Cornell Presbyterian Pharmacology Exam

    Nurse212 posted a topic in New York

    Has anyone taken their exam recently? Do any of you have some good pointers to study for their pharmacology exam? Do you remember what types of questions were on it? Is there anything that you would have done differently to study for it when lo...

14. ADNs get hired in NYC?

    Nurse212 replied to AGal110's topic in New York

    That statement above is completely untrue. Although I have a BSN degree, I can tell you that an ADN nurse makes the same if not just 1K less than a BSN nurse in 99% of all hospitals if and when they are both new grads starting. If you are an ADN nur...

15. Rumor has it, Lenox Hill Hospital is CLOSING

    Last I heard from a few per diem nurses that do work for us at NYU and at Lenox is that Lenox Hill is going to start laying off nurses after the new year.. 212
