  1. How Far Would You Commute for Part-time?

    I live in NYC so a 15 mile can turn into a 2 hour drive if you hit rush hour traffic. So for me, it's not really how far it is but how much traffic i'm going to encounter when i drive to get to a job. If traffic is not a problem then i don't mind tra...
  2. Dental Nursing Opportunity for new grad

    Look up online the average salary for a nurse in your state so you'll have an idea of what to tell them. Since this is a private office, it might pay a little less than what you'll get in a hospital but this job might have other benefits, like you on...
  3. Non-traditional nursing paths, advice?

    What about doing Home Health? You can be a Home Care Nurse and since you're on the road most of the time, there's no chance of being bored plus you get to spend ample time with each patient. If you don't like that, you can be a Field Visiting Nurse w...
  4. Moving to NYC

    Hi! To be a nursing assistant, i think you only have to take the program for a few weeks so it's definitely a lot easier than studying to become a nurse. I'm not so sure about it's job prospect. I would think that there are a lot of demands for nursi...
  5. PLEASE.. advice on new RN grad in NYC?!?!

  6. NP vs. PT/OT

    Well if i have my way, i would go back to school to be a PT or OT. I already researched how long and how much it's going to cost me. To go from being an RN to OT in New York, it will take approximately 2 1/2 years and though i wouldn't mind going bac...
  7. If it makes you feel any better, i had ZERO clinical skills after i graduated. On my first job, i asked a lot of help from my coworkers and while most of them wouldn't give me the time of day, some were so helpful, kind and supportive so after a few ...
  8. Early in pregnancy and just got a job offer

    Congratulations on your pregnancy and the new job! Btw, don't worry so much about not informing the nurse managers about your pregnancy during your interview. You already informed HR (even though you didn't have to) so just wait to speak to the nurse...
  9. Plan to move to NYC with family - need advice

    Well base salary here is around 65,000-70,000/yr. and if you work night shift with a 2 year experience, then obviously you'll get more. Northeastern part of Queens have a lot of good public schools, such as Bayside, Douglaston and Little Neck and a 2...
  10. Hi! With all the time and effort you invested to get in to medical school (and you actually did!), i can see why you have doubts about not following thru with your plan but at the end of the day, you have to do what is best for you and if your heart ...
  11. Need advice on new job offer

    I guess I'm the odd man here but i would probably take the job if i were in your place. We're kinda in the same situation, not having worked in awhile to raise the family. I started looking for a job recently and got offered to be a nurse manager in ...
  12. Hi! I posted a similar question on the NY forum but didn't get any response so i'm posting here and hoping i get some replies. I wanted to hear some feedback from nurses who have taken the refresher course in Adelphi or Molloy College in New York. Qu...
  13. Hi! I might get a job as a nurse manager in a nursing home so i wanted to know everyone's input about what makes a good nurse manager. My background is in Med-Surg, never worked in LTC before but this job just landed in my lap so i'm having doubts ab...
  14. Hi! Could someone clarify to me the difference between a nurse manager and a nursing supervisor in a nursing home? I know the nurse manager is responsible for the unit 24/7 but generally only work days while the nsg supervisor is responsible only for...
  15. Ever lost a job offer because of your reference?

    Thanks for the reply! What do i do when the two most recent hospitals that i've worked for had closed? I have no idea where my 2 nurse managers are. I've found a few of my coworkers but they don't know either where our bosses are. When i tried to fil...
