1. New Graduate RN Error -- Nervous wreck

   BeccaB2014 posted a topic in New Nurse

   Let me preface this saying that I graduated from a BSN program this past year and I started working at my current hospital soon after. I had 3 weeks of classroom orientation, 3 weeks in a MS floor, and 2 weeks in CC before coming to the ER which I ha...

2. Tattoos/piercings?

   BeccaB2014 replied to livelovelaugh1396's topic in General Students

   I had my nose pierced before nursing school. If you need to keep the piercing in because otherwise it will close, you can pick up a clear retainer from a hot topic or Spencer's at a mall. It's kind of a pain to switch out the piercing before and afte...

   BeccaB2014 replied to ErRnDiva's topic in New York

   Just wondering if anyone has any input on the hospital. Is it in a safe area? Does the hospital have safe practice? What is their new grad orientation program like? Is it enough that a new graduate would feel secure on the floor? What is their retent...

   This thread is rather old. Just wondering if they are still doing the open interview days since the merger with the Mount Sinai system?

7. Binghamton grads?

   BeccaB2014 replied to dee789's topic in New York

   I just graduated from Decker traditional program, and I would say that going to the NYU, Pace, etc is not worth it. Might be a bit biased here since I'm an alum... However, Binghamton is reasonably priced and has the reputation of being one of the be...

12. NYC Hospitals that Hire New Grad RNs?

    BeccaB2014 replied to BeccaB2014's topic in Emergency

    NYP Cornell has a nurse residency program that was accepting applicants in early May. I spoke to the woman running them on the phone and she said they don't hire new grads to the ER. Regardless, I wasn't able to make it to those New Grad Meet & G...

13. 2014 Pearson Vue Trick (PVT) Poll

    BeccaB2014 replied to mslovebug's topic in NCLEX

    Seriously. I walked out of that test so fatigued, and mine shut off at 75 questions! I definitely do not want to have to take it again. I wish there were a way to find out definite results sooner than 24 hours.

    BeccaB2014 replied to mslovebug's topic in NCLEX

    Just took the NCLEX-RN, it stopped at 75 questions which means I either failed or passed spectacularly. I got the "good" pop-up, but am still skeptical of its' accuracy and terrified that I did not pass after my months of studying.
