1. Kaplan vs. ATI

   NurseinNY replied to RB_RN_MSN's topic in New Nurse

   I used Kaplan for NCLEX and I thought it was EXTREMELY helpful. I would highly recommend it. I took a class (in person, not online) and used their online program. I followed their program outline with taking the practice tests, etc. and it was very h...

2. New grad with job offer...but not excited...

   NurseinNY replied to april.rn's topic in New Nurse

   I will re-iterate what everyone else said - take the job! Any experience is better than no experience and it is a tough job market. So, if you like the position and the clinic - other than the fact that it is not acute care - then I would take it.

3. Volunteer abroad after graduation?

   NurseinNY replied to pineapplecat's topic in New Nurse

   pineapplecat, Can I ask you what programs you found that you liked? Thanks!

4. When to apply for jobs?

   NurseinNY replied to DL-SNUP's topic in General Students

   You have the right idea - apply as soon as you can! Start applying during your last semester. Hospitals take a long time to process stuff a lot of the time, and the job market is not great either. So starting out early can only help! For your resume,...

5. NYU's favorite schools for prereqs

   NurseinNY replied to Opera2Nursing's topic in New York

   Hi, I graduated from NYU's accelerated program. I would agree with chiasmus100 up above, who said to take it at the school where you feel like you will get the best grade. I also think that is most important. It's better to get an A at a community co...

6. Should I take a part time position as a new grad??

   NurseinNY replied to alwalRN's topic in New Nurse

   I will re-iterate what others have said and say - take it! Honestly, if everything else about the position is great then I think it's a no brainer. When a full-time position opens up you will have a much, much easier time getting it. It's a foot in t...

7. Should I Include my Clinical Rotations in my Resume

   NurseinNY replied to christalmiller's topic in New Nurse

   I know there are a lot of comments here, and I didn't read all of them very closely, so I'm sorry if this is redundant. I had two nursing recruiters tell me to definitely put clinical rotations on my resume -- not classes or lectures - but clinical r...

8. Accepted job at NYP-Cornell!

   NurseinNY replied to Ari RN's topic in New York

   I had two friends that took the pharm exam for NYP and I heard that it is important to take the practice exam online! They said that is a HUGE help and that the real exam is very similar.

9. NYP housing

   NurseinNY replied to i.am.a.nurse's topic in New York

   I happen to know several people who live in NYP housing, but at the Cornell campus, not Columbia. The rent is definitely more affordable than comparable studios in the area. I would assume that up at Columbia it would also be a good deal - that is th...

10. Need Advice- Moving to NY

    NurseinNY replied to Maeve26's topic in New York

    If you are persistent and just keep looking you can find something! I know new grads who did get jobs in PEDS and NICU, although they may have had personal connections. But, it is possible! I did a clinical at Children's Hospital at Montefiore, which...

11. St. Luke's - Roosevelt Pharmacology Exam

    NurseinNY posted a topic in New York

    Hi all- I am taking the pre-employment pharmacology exam for St. Luke's-Roosevelt in a couple days and I am wondering if anyone has taken it. I am wondering if the test gets as specific as to ask for the exact dosage ranges for all of the medications...

12. Roosevelt hospital-start in July!

    NurseinNY replied to citygrl646's topic in New York

    Hi citygrl646- I saw your post from a couple years ago and I am in the same boat you were right now! I am about to take the pharmacology exam at Roosevelt and I'm pretty nervous. Can you please help me out and tell me if I need to memorize all of the...
