Accepted job at NYP-Cornell!

U.S.A. New York

Published

Hey folks...

Happy New Year to all!

With this New Year comes a new job. I accepted a position at New York Presbyterian Hospital (Cornell). The interview process took several months but I was finally offered a pediatric position at this GREAT hospital. I am extremely excited to get started.

I do have a dilemma. I've heard nightmares about the pre-employment pharmacology exam sponsored by the NLN.

I am reviewing old textbooks and made up some medication flashcards but still feel somewhat overwhelmed.

Are there any nurses out there who have taken this exam recently? If so, I would appreciate any feedback.

NOTE: I am aware of the old threads about this subject. (OLD THREADS).

Thanks again for your time.

I had two friends that took the pharm exam for NYP and I heard that it is important to take the practice exam online! They said that is a HUGE help and that the real exam is very similar.

I had a phone interview with a nurse specialist at NYP a week ago. It lasted for about 15 minutes. Question was, "Why will you leave your present job." "why do you want to work in NYP." "Describe a situation when you went out of your way to help a patient." After those questions, the nurse specialist told me that I will receive an email or call from the nurse recruitment team in 7-10 days, and they will tell me what the next step will be. So now it's been days ago, I am expecting the call to come around next week. Anyone of you remembered the questions during the interview with nurse recruitment team? Were you interviewed by nurse recruiter only or with the nurse manager? Thanks for the info.

Hey Jano,

Check out my replies on this thread for some tips: https://allnurses.com/new-york-nurses/nyp-460132.html

Your next step from here will be an online personality test type thing that looks at how you cope with difficult situations. If you do well with that you will get to interview with the nurse recruiter, and if that is good then with the patient care director.

Feel free to PM if you have questions and good luck!

Hi expathopeful,

Thanks, I'm already done with an online assessment with 23 questions before I was interviewed by on the phone. Next is to wait 7 to 10 days for the recruitment team to tell me what to do next.

What unit are you working right now? Did you remember all the questions asked by nurse recruiter cos I see in your thread it was an hour?

Interview. Were you a new grad when you applied? I'm applying at NYP Westchester with 2 years experience. Thanks for any info.

Hi all, can someone please share some info on this topic? I have already taken the online behavioral assessment test and then had my phone interview this past Monday which went well I think. The recruiter said she would forward my info to a manager and I would be contacted in a few weeks. I received an email last night saying, "Thank you for your continued interest in NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. Though we are still currently reviewing applicants for the position you applied for we maintain interest in your candidacy and will be able to inform you of the status as soon as it is determined. We appreciate your patience and continued interest."

Has anyone else received this email? If so, did u still get called for an interview ? How long did it take to receive the call?

Thanks!

@RNcompassionate- I did the phone interview as well and received an email the next day titled, "New Grad RN waitlist update." It didn't say exactly the same thing you said, but they seemed to have the same meaning. Maybe it has something to do with whichever location your app was sent. The talent specialist said she would send mine to the Westchester location and somebody would contact me in 1-2 weeks. She never said anything about an email. Hopefully, it means we're one step closer!! Which location does she forward your application?

Thank you very much for responding humblenurse12, the recruiter said my application will be forwarded to the Cornell location. I hope it means we're getting closer to being hired too!! A friend of mine just got hired there and she said the whole process from when she first applied online until actually being hired took 2 months !! Wow ! i didn't know it took that long...Which location did you interview for ? What department ?

@RNcompassionate-I haven't interviewed yet. I just had the phone interview one week ago, I'll give it two weeks. The Westchester location is all psych, hopefully I get to work on the eating disorder unit. What unit are you trying to get on?
