   Like the previous poster, I had no previous healthcare experience.

2. How did you prepare for your Nclex -Rn

   cammy429 replied to chachou22's topic in New York

   :up:I am sure you will be fine. Make sure you get all your stuff in to the board of nursing for your state so as soon as they get the paperwork from your school you will get your ATT. Good luck!

3. Will i be hard to find a job?

   cammy429 replied to Az_RN_BSN's topic in New York

   Every floor is different but I absolutely loved it. I am no longer there because I moved out of state but the staff was awesome. I still speak to some people from my original orientation group. The orientation process is VERY thorough.

4. Will i be hard to find a job?

   cammy429 replied to Az_RN_BSN's topic in New York

   I didn't do ANY of my clinicals at NYP and I was hired on as a new grad. Also, I knew quite a few nurses who came on before they passed their nclex. I really don't know what is it that they look for in their applicants. I've never interviewed for an ...

5. Will i be hard to find a job?

   cammy429 replied to Az_RN_BSN's topic in New York

   I dont think that you should have ANY problems finding a job. Right out of school, I had 3 offers. One at NYP-Cornell, One at Maimonidies, and one at Methodist. That was just with my associates. I mean granted, it's 4 years later but the last time I ...

6. How did you prepare for your Nclex -Rn

   cammy429 replied to chachou22's topic in New York

   1. Take the test as early as possible. 2. Do computerized questions (since the test is computerized), if you notice that there is an area or style of questions that you need to study more, focus on that area instead of trying to study everything you ...

7. How do you deal with all the bickering and backstabbing at work?

   cammy429 replied to Dunno?'s topic in General Nursing

   I just try not to feed into that stuff. I have developed this attitude where I am not there to make friends. Its nice if everyone could be cordial but that's not the world that we live in. The last job that I worked at I got into it with one of the d...

8. Is there anything that you cannot handle as a Nurse?

   cammy429 replied to cammy429's topic in General Nursing

   See thats the thing, I have asked quite a bit of nurses and they've said suctioning as well. I've worked in pulmonary for a couple years and have seen some nasty sputum and it doesn't bother me at all.

9. Is there anything that you cannot handle as a Nurse?

   cammy429 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Nursing, for a long time was a career that I tried to avoid because I had a very weak stomach. I feel like I made the right decision in deciding to become an RN because I am a nurturer. There are still some things within the profession that I cannot...

    Hey you can also look at the "office of professions" website. Go to "online license verification" and then select "registered professional nursing" as the profession and then enter your name as instructed.

    cammy429 replied to lvs2nrs3535's topic in General Nursing

    I'm an RN. First born child as well but neither of my parents are alcoholics.

13. staffing

    cammy429 replied to dmaster's topic in New York

    IMO I think that they do try. I know when my unit has staffing issues they get out and recruit and hire new nurses. I have never seen a NYC hospital offer sign on or relocation bonuses though. People are attracted to NY just because it is NY. You mov...

14. LA or NYC

    cammy429 replied to dmaster's topic in New York

    U can probably find a studio for that price...to be honest it may even be more. Rent has sky rocketed in the area because the Nets are going to be moving there in the next couple years. Most apt buildings do not have parking for tenants. Parking will...

15. staffing

    cammy429 replied to dmaster's topic in New York

    I dont think it's to save a "buck". Hospitals know the impact that staff shortage has on patient care. Nurses quit and get hired all the time. It's definitely a shortage issue.
