  1. Good NCLEX review center in New York?

    My school paid for our class to take the Kaplan course; I personally thought the class was a waste of time, but the kaplan test bank was worth its weight in gold. And since my access to the test bank ended before I was taking the NCLEX a friend told...
  2. Any Associate Degree Nurses find jobs in NY?

    not in a hospital which is where I want to be. I too am an associate level nurse; starting SUNY Delhi BSN online program next month and already have a B.S. degree (in textile chemistry and engineering from FIT). I am working with an agency full tim...
  3. Prospective Nursing Student looking for a cuny school

    Hey, I went to BMCC for nursing and I would NOT recommend it. If you do be prepared to teach yourself everything and many lazy professors. There are a few good ones during the day, but i heard the evening professors are beyond horrible and there's ...
  4. New York City Job Market and Experience

    Sounds like you're off to a great start, not many your age are so determined and looking into the future. Yes, the job market is tough here; I've been a RN for a little over a year (associates degree in nursing, BS in textile chem) and this fall I w...
  5. Rn salary in new york city

    Hospital jobs are very tough to come by these days for both experienced and new nurses. If the job market is good where you are I would recommend getting a couple years experience and if you haven't completed a BSN already you will need it here. Av...
  6. BMCC/St.Pauls

    I am a BMCC student and would not recommend the program at all. Some of the clinical professors are great (although a few of the good ones have left recently) but I found that at most clinical sites we never had any patients and the nurses treated u...

    I spoke to a current employee a couple weeks ago and she said they're not hiring now because they're 'restructuring'.
  9. Beth Israel Brooklyn - good, bad, indifferent?

    No idea what it's like to work there, but I live close by and it's a pretty crappy hospital as far as patient care goes.
  10. NSLIJ -Requesting References (Survey)

    Congrats on the new job! Which hospital will you be working at?
  11. Best option with low GPA but job experience?

    Do you have your pre-reqs done yet? At BMCC it was your pre-req GPA that was most important for entrance into the program; and although the school has criteria for acceptable GPA the bar is really set by those you're competing against. I was told t...
  12. How to get a job

    I would highly recommend doing some kind of certification course (i.e. CNA, patient care tech etc.) and trying to get a job in a hospital now, hopefully by the time you finish and pass the NCLEX the market will be better, but regardless I think it wi...

    I know this thread is a bit old, but I was wondering if you had the contact info for a nurse recruiter or manager I could contact directly as opposed to going though CHP? I would really appreciate any help. Thanks, christine

    I know this is an old thread, but I was just wondering if anyone had an actual contact for a nurse recruiter at Winthrop, I have applied through the website, but would like to reach out to someone directly. I would greatly appreciate any assistance....
