  1. young children and CRNA school

    Thank you, everyone, for your encouraging posts-- I am hoping to apply for CRNA school this next fall and I have a 3 & 5 year old at home....I have wanted to do this for so long but am nervous the sacrifice will be too great for my family- a deci...
  2. Why don't I have a job right now?

    Hang in there- you will get a job! Keep your chin up and be open to different hospitals/areas/opportunities.....(have you looked outside the cities at more rural areas?)....you're doing everything right- just a hard market right now...
  3. Should I bring my resume right to the nursing manager?

    I would probably send by mail your resume to Regions & address it to the unit you want to work on and "Nurse Manager Unit BLANK"--- showing up in person can put a manager on the spot & start you off on the wrong foot-- you could follow up wit...
  4. Registry, Per Diem or Part Time in NYC

    have not worked per diem in the city but did some per diem in Westchester @ SSMC- only 30 min drive from city & they paid $57/hr nights back in 08
  5. What is the upstate NY job market like?

    every new grad that I know that has gotten a job has looked upstate after being unsuccessful in the city.
  6. Ok, so what do ya know about Yonkers?

    I live in Yonkers, work @ Mount Sinai in the city...I live in Tuckahoe, which is a nice area of Yonkers but the schools are marginal- get over to Eastchester/Scarsdale & they improve....hospitals: hospitals in the city pay HANDS DOWN much better ...
  7. Finally landed a job!

    CONGRATS!!! And good for you for looking outside the city!!!
  8. NYC average RN Salary

    I work @ Mount Sinai- I have 7 years RN experience & work 37.5 hours/week nights, BSN, RNC, made $88,000 last year with just a wee bit of overtime. Am moving back to MN and taking a HUGE paycut....but a much cheaper cost of living!!
  9. New to NYC nursing originally from CA

    no advice, but I relate...came from MN where on the floors the union had effectively negotiated a 4:1 ratio....HEAVEN!
  10. applying in nyc

    I do not want to discourage you, but I work in Manhattan and don't know of any hospitals in Manhattan that hire ADN's- I even recommended an old coworker to my manger (she has years of experience but no BSN) and my manager said she couldn't hire her-...
  11. hang in there & keep looking! I would also encourage you to look outside NY....the new grads I know who've gotten jobs in the last years have a) had to wait up to 10 months.... or b) had to take jobs outside the city....LIJ, Ossining to name a fe...
  12. Need advice on internship vs summer ob/peds

    the internship will help with job placement; Manhattan is a tricky place for new grads right now- anything you can do to get an edge! And maybe be willing to move for a job after school:)
  13. new grad offered nurse manager position

    no offense but I can't IMAGINE a place that would hire a new grad into a Manager position...I feel they would be setting you up for failure.
  14. What hospitals are hiring for LPN's in NYC????

    sorry I don't know of any inpatient hospitals in Manhattan that hire LPN's-- as far as I know they won't even hire ADN's....
  15. Apply now or wait for NY license?

    I moved to NY from MN 3 years ago & I think it took 1-2 months for me to get my NY license (applied in April/May & got license end of June 2008)....I ended up getting a job @ Mount Sinai Medical Center in L&D....after LOVING L&D for 4...
