   Should be 1:2, sometimes 1:1 depending on what's going on (Balloon pump, CVVH, etc.)

   Congrats on landing an interview with NYP! Happy for you :) I can't even get one! I've been applying for a lot of positions now for quite some time and can't get anything very discouraging! If you do not mind me asking, what's your experience?

   thekidisback replied to Puppylove992's topic in New York

   Hey congrats! Can I ask what unit you interviewed for and what experience you have? I have been trying nonstop to score an interview for a full time position in NYP (Cornell and Columbia). And nothing! I have 5 years experience in telemetry with exp...

5. Should I accept a job that offers more experience with less pay?

   thekidisback replied to blondie1887's topic in New York

   Do you plan to do psych long term? If not, then I say don't go for it especially if you will be taking a pay cut. Keep applying for other hospital positions. There are hospitals that hire occupational nurses for their employee health services.

12. 10 yrs OF NURSING EXPERIENCE - CANT FIND A JOB

    thekidisback replied to adangerousbeauty's topic in New York

    Very true. In the NYP online application they ask you your preferred salary range. I put something low for the hospital but reasonable for my living. Even if I get one dollar or more an hour than my current job, I will be ok. I only make $30/hr at my...

13. 10 yrs OF NURSING EXPERIENCE - CANT FIND A JOB

    thekidisback replied to adangerousbeauty's topic in New York

    I'm on the same boat, except I have 5 years experience. My biggest disadvantage though: I only have an Associates Degree. Will be done my BSN this July! And it is about WHO YOU KNOW. Even though I know some people who work in both NYP and Mount Sina...

14. Applying at NYP system

    thekidisback replied to thekidisback's topic in New York

    Yes! I agree, ChrisB718. We all took the same test so ADN's and BSN's should have equal chances of getting a job. It's all about experience, not degrees.
