@DWinNY There's one place in the city and if you google it they should come up. I heard that people had more luck finding scrubs in Queens and Brooklyn. I bought mine at Life Uniform in Garden City. Of course allheart.com is a go-to site for a lot of...
@DWinNY I printed out the packet, filled it out by hand, and gave it to the point person at my appointment. Make sure you bring everything to your appointment (original documents, not copies, since he will make copies there). Good luck!
@bionicRN Thank you! I'm very excited! @lkws5 As I understand it you don't apply to the program directly, rather you apply to open positions and if you are a new grad you are automatically a part of the new grad residency program. I can't shed light ...
I used Kaplan exclusively and it helped me pass. I actually did the online course for a week and it forced me to sit down and study and plan out how many questions I would do per day. My online instructor was really helpful too and our "class" formed...
How long did it take you to land that elusive first job? About two months after passing the NCLEX Did you have previous healthcare experience? No When did you graduate? May 2013 ADN or BSN? Accelerated BSN Where did you get hired (position, state)? R...
@DWinNY Congrats on receiving your offer letter! I didn't have a problem scheduling the physical/paperwork since my nurse recruiter cc-ed the point person for that in our emails. I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble contacting your point pers...
@DWinNY CONGRATULATIONS! So happy to hear that you got the green light from the NM :) I hope you hear before the holiday! I'm going in tomorrow for my physical and to submit my paperwork. One thing I could recommend that you do while you wait is to g...
I was offered the position three days after interviewing. But the offer is contingent upon clearing references, background check, and the physical exam. From what I've read on the forums and heard from fellow nurses there is no clear "wait time" for ...
@DWinNY I'm so glad to hear that you got an interview with a NM! Congrats! I heard the same thing about year end evaluations and NMs being very, very busy. I just accepted an offer today, three days after my interview with the NM. :) I'm beyond excit...
@bionicRN Good to know! A two hour turnaround time is insane. Will post if I hear anything within the week. Already sent out handwritten thank you cards to score some brownie points. :)
@dath3 @bcbischo I graduated this past May but was in a similar predicament when I applied. I asked my pre-req professors to email admissions directly and to CC me in the email. It was a simple email stating the name of the professor, the institution...
Just had my interview today and it went really well. Met with a nurse recruiter in the morning. She was very nice, provided me with a lot of information (salary, benefits, nursing culture at NYU) and asked basic questions. Then she introduced me to a...
Hey guys! I guess I must have done well on the assessment (took it two days ago) because I just got an interview scheduled for this upcoming Monday! Very excited! Will keep you posted on what I hear! :)
