Anyone worked/works at Lenox Hill Hospital?

Hi,

I currently work at Lenox Hill. I'm a new grad and I was recently hired onto a med surg unit. I was also participated in their internship program. Everyone (for the most part) is really friendly and receptive to new grads, they offer assistance and provide you with opportunities to learn (even if they are not your primary preceptor). Here is a quick list of pros and cons (just my opinion)

Pros:
Hospital size (large enough that you get an opportunity to see a wide range of cases but small enough that you get to know pretty much everyone that works there) You don't feel like you going to get lost in the shuffle of a large metropolitan hospital

Supportive and friendly staff

Competitive starting salary ($68K, 69K-BSN - days) (74K, 75K - nights) & 100% tuition reimbursement

Cons:
New Grad training could be better. I feel like I'm able to get the most out of the experience because I participated in the internship program so I am familiar with the hospital and the systems. But you just have to try to get the most out of your experience.....and they do allow you to extend your orientation if you need to.

Paper Charting...they are only partially using an EMR system so you have to do alot of paper charting which is extremely time consuming especially for a new grad who is struggling to just manage 6-8 pts.

Overall I find it to be a good place to work and I would recommend it....as far as the training goes I honestly believe it is going to be difficult no matter where you go because you have to adjust to having just one or two patients (3 tops) while you were in school to handling a full load of patients...that is the most difficult part of transitioning from a student to a new nurse.
