  1. Having trouble gaining employment

    I'm an experienced nurse and even I'm having trouble finding employment in the city. I recently had an interview in the hospital I really want to get into. It was for a unit I have experience in (Telemetry) and I still didn't get the position I feel...
  2. New York Presbyterian Nursing Attendants?

    A little off topic... Anyone know if NYP (specifically Cornell) employees do self-scheduling?
  3. I see nothing wrong with hanging out with coworkers outside of work. Like someone mentioned, just make sure you keep it "light and positive." It helps to get to know your coworkers on a more personal level and (for me at least) it improves teamwork. ...
  4. NYP Cornell & Colombia

    For those who currently or used to work for the NYP system.... Is it easy to transfer from facility to facility? Like say I want to transfer from Cornell to Columbia? What is the policy before transferring within the system? Is it 6 months or a year?

  11. NSLIJ Interview Tips and Advice

    I had an interview with Lenox Hill. Anyone know how long to hear back for an offer or rejection? Will they contact you (via email or phone) even to say you weren't hired? I just hate playing the waiting.
  12. Hi everyone, I just got a call from NY Eye and Ear Infirmary in NYC for an interview. It's for a per diem RN position 9a-1p. I applied to this facility but for inpatient unit. I was surprised! Something completely different and I have no ICU/ER expe...
  13. I find it unfair how they only forward BSN applicants. I know hospitals want to get magnet status but this job search is getting annoying. I know life isn't fair, but NYP's online application is frustrating. Once I click no for the question asking if...
  14. It's so frustrating! I have an ADN, doing my RN-BSN program now. Hope to graduate by next year! I've been applying to every position available! I don't know if it's a smart thing to do, but I'm desperate! I'm not giving up! It's always been a dream ...
