1. How do you determine that you passed the NCLEX?

   MW37 replied to IVqueen23's topic in New York

   Study, study, study! Do a section/body system at one time- don't skip around from respiratory to OB/GYN, for example. Highlight questions and concepts that stumble you and that you need refreshing on, then go back to it. Take breaks when studying and...

2. 5 months and nothing..

   MW37 replied to nurseyNJNYC's topic in New York

   I'm so discouraged with this damn job search! Gah! 4 years of school (not including the schooling where I was in limbo deciding what to do), thousands of dollars in loans, and nothing. Nada. Zilch. Zip. I've been on some interviews, and a lot of the...

   MW37 replied to rajan2's topic in New York

   SunshineRN, that video really made me laugh! Hahahaha!

4. Anyone else going to the Nursing Career Fair at Jacob Javits on 10/21?

   MW37 replied to JoblessNewGradRN's topic in New York

   Make sure you bring some hope. Maybe a lucky rabbit's foot.

5. New RN salary in Doctor's Offices

   MW37 replied to sayang87's topic in New York

   Only 1 week of vacation?!? You've got to be kidding me! That's horrible. My last non-RN job gave me 3 weeks of paid vacation, and I was considered part-time!

6. Frustrated NY new grad

   MW37 replied to aye125RN's topic in New York

   I feel the same way. I've only been searching for a few months and already my morale in way down low. Sigh.

7. New RN salary in Doctor's Offices

   MW37 replied to sayang87's topic in New York

   Thanks, LINurse! I've been looking on Craigslist also for jobs. You said you get paid 22/hour? (Sorry I don't want to be nosy!) What about health insurance? Vacation time? I just don't think I could swing the night-shifts at hospitals, and I know a ...

8. New RN salary in Doctor's Offices

   MW37 replied to sayang87's topic in New York

   LINurse10, how did get a job in a doctor's office? I'm a new grad BSN, and I'd actually rather work in a primary care/doctor's office type of setting rather than a hospital. I really want to get my master's in Family Nurse Practitioner, and I that's ...

9. Anyone else going to the Nursing Career Fair at Jacob Javits on 10/21?

   MW37 replied to JoblessNewGradRN's topic in New York

   Thanks for that phone number and e-mail address! That was very nice of you to post that! Don't forget all of the free candy along with the pens and gadgets! :)

10. Anyone else going to the Nursing Career Fair at Jacob Javits on 10/21?

    MW37 replied to JoblessNewGradRN's topic in New York

    I just came back from the job fair also. I thought it was okay. Some of the tables/agencies/hospitals were nicer to the nurses, especially the new grad nurses, than others. The Elizabeth Seton Peds center just up and left and their table was empty wh...

11. Anyone else going to the Nursing Career Fair at Jacob Javits on 10/21?

    MW37 replied to JoblessNewGradRN's topic in New York

    I was just kidding about quitting nursing! Haha :) What kind of nursing do you want to get into? Where have you been applying? Yeah, there is another career fair in Flushing in November which I believe is at Citi Field? I wore my suit to the career f...

12. Anyone else going to the Nursing Career Fair at Jacob Javits on 10/21?

    MW37 replied to JoblessNewGradRN's topic in New York

    Hi Jobless! I'm also a jobless new grad BSN, and I might go to the career fair this week. I've been to one before that a little bit on the smaller scale, and a quasi waste of time, but what the heck, right? I left after an hour at the last job fair b...

13. New RN salary in Doctor's Offices

    MW37 replied to sayang87's topic in New York

    Even if you might have replied "too high", would you really want to work for a company whose representative was so rude to you on the phone?

14. who do i have to sleep with to get a hospital job??

    MW37 replied to nurseyNJNYC's topic in New York

    Well, like Billy Joel sang, "shouldn't try to be a straight 'A' student, if you are then you think too much." I don't think that just because someone has a higher GPA than someone else that they are more equipped to pick-up, and learn, new practica...

15. who do i have to sleep with to get a hospital job??

    MW37 replied to nurseyNJNYC's topic in New York

    Some places care about new-grad GPA. I got a phone call from NYPresbyterian about the "new grad" nursing posting, and the phone interview was going well (I thought) until they asked me what my GPA was. My graduating GPA was a 'B' average, and I could...
