   SueNYC replied to myrose's topic in New York

   Just to add my 2 cents, I think applying to NY hospitals without your NY license would be pointless as the market is saturated with new grads already who have already taken their boards, so if a hospital doesn't overlook you due to your current locat...

   SueNYC replied to RNLola035's topic in New York

   There are a ton of neighborhoods to choose from in the Brooklyn/Queens area, it all depends on what you can afford. Also, if you are a new grad, now may not be a good time to find a job in NY as most new grads right now are having a difficult time.

    SueNYC replied to rlorenzo24's topic in New York

    Being proficient in spanish alone would make you more marketable however I dont know if having a MI certification would necessarily give you more of an edge. Simply having the language skills (not sure of what other languages you are fluent in) is su...
