2. Are experienced nurses having an easy time finding work?

   CalidthreeN replied to CalidthreeN's topic in General Nursing

   I had assumed that after having at least 1 year of experience, it would be relatively easy to find work, but from the posts it seems that nurses of all experience levels are having a difficult time, hopefully the market gets better soon

   Are experienced nurses that have re-entered the job market or looking to change nursing jobs having an easy time finding work, or is it difficult for experienced nurses to make the transition given the current market?

   CalidthreeN replied to erkantarik's topic in New York

7. NYP ED Residency

   CalidthreeN replied to SrhElzbthRN's topic in New York

   I've not heard of any restrictions on how many years of experience one must have to work in an ED in NY, although experience is usually preferred. I know for sure that all the nurse residency programs at NYP is for new graduates with no experience, i...

9. Is NYU's nursing program even good?

   CalidthreeN replied to kraam's topic in New York

   Wow, 200 to 250 students per class, I don't see how anyone can really learn in a class that size. My nursing school had 20 to 30 students per class. It doesn't seem worth it to pay so much money to go to a school where the faculty to student ratio is...

13. Ok, what's the real deal with new grads?

    CalidthreeN replied to future nurse1's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, it's not a good idea to first try to demean the people you are trying to obtain information from, that is offensive. But as for the job market right now, a number of factors play a role in obtaining employment as a new graduate; including lo...

14. new graduate nurse...worried and scared!

    CalidthreeN replied to OreoCookie3's topic in New Nurse

    I think you should try nursing jobs in clinics or in homecare. New grads are considered for these areas too, you don't have to limit yourself to only hospital positions. Some places hire new graduates for in-office case manager position as well. So e...

    The NYP nurse residency program is very competitive, Congrats on landing the interview, that's great. from what I've heard the length of the residency program is about 6 months, but for the ER I would assume is longer. I don't know what the interview...
