  1. Hunter College NYC ANP program

    Ok, so I did not get in because according to Hunter I only have 9 months of RN experience and they want at least 1 yr. My GPA in BSN nursing of 3.91 was not enough. They told me to reapply for the spring 2013 since i'll have the experience necessary ...
  2. New Grad Nurse in NY...advice on landing that first job!

    My 2 cents. I was a new grad back in August 2011 and landed in an ICU setting as a Staff RN 2 months after graduation. Also received MANY offers from other hospitals to work for them (this was not happening to my friends). What did I do different? Fi...
  3. They have just started an ED residency today. Eleven people were hired and four of them are new grads.
  4. Hunter College NYC ANP program

    I just applied for the adult / gerontological np at Hunter for the fall 2012. Any body else?
  5. 1 year= NP? And programs with this?

    University of Miami have NP programs that you can finish in 1year or 2 years.
  6. New Grad just got called for an interview with NSLIJ

    I am a new grad with a BSN. I currently work as an ICU nurse and had no previous healthcare or RN experience. I spent 2 months after I graduated sending applications online and also visiting hospitals. Don't sit down in front of the computer and then...
  7. NYU v. Columbia

    I don't think GPA is the main thing they look at. I got accepted last year into the accelerated BSN with a 3.1 GPA. I decided not to attend NYU and went to another school where I received my BSN in 12 months. Just graduated in August and already work...
  8. C.U.N.Y Hostos Community College, Bronx, New York

    You don't need to do accelerated then, but you can do traditional.
  9. C.U.N.Y Hostos Community College, Bronx, New York

    If you have a bachelors in something else then do an accelerated or traditional BSN!!!! Jobs are limited, especially for ADN. Most hospitals are either Magnet or looking to get Magnet status so they will hire a BSN RN vs a ADN RN. Hunter College has ...
  10. orientation so far. good overall.
  11. I am a new grad with a BSN and have never done clinicals or externship for that hospital. In fact, I have no RN experience. I just graduated this August. I just walked in one day and was lucky to get an interview on the spot. They actually hired two ...
  12. Not at all. Review how to calculate gtt, units per hour or minute. It is all multiple choice so you'll be able to recognize the right number. Also, review corticosteroids, beta blockers, HTN meds, technique for IM injections, patient identification b...
  13. Hi. Yes, I got the job. I start on Monday:). Process with HR was quick. I did physical exam, pharm exam (no calculators allowed), met with nurse recruiter and filled out some income tax documents. Where will you be working? I'm in the ICU.
  14. After 20 MONTHS of job search.....i give up.

    There are jobs. It is getting better. Trust me. Be persistent, stay current on your resume, be proactive, positive attitude. Most of my friends who graduated with me this August had found a jobs.
  15. After 20 MONTHS of job search.....i give up.

    I'm sorry for what you are going through. I graduated in August 2011 with a BSN. I have no RN experience at all. My first degree was in Theater Arts. Ever since I graduated in August I was applying for jobs online and when October came by and I reali...
