Specializes in Pediatric Pulmonology and Allergy.

Did you apply to NYU's new grad residency?

Some Brooklyn hospitals were hiring a couple months ago but that has slowed down too.

Are you able to move upstate? I am in Rochester and in searching for a job myself I see several things for new grads....I think RGH is looking for new grads for a residency program. check out the hospitals in the Rochester NY area if you are able to move.

Hi,

There are many options in New York City. I live in NYC and I graduated last year. I was offered a job one month after I passed the NCLEX. I'm not in a new grad program. I say do not limit yourself to opportunities that are aimed at new graduates. Those programs have very limited space and are extremely competitive. For example, NYU residency requires 3.5 GPA, two letters of recommendation and a personal statement. Then, a panel interview if you are selected with a case study specific to disease and drugs. The more popular new grad residency programs accept 20 nurses and they get thousands of applicants. As a recent graduate, be open minded. Do not limit yourself to a specialty or even a borough. I've met new grads in TeleHealth, NICU, ED, everywhere. Sallie Mae doesn't care about your preferences and they just want their loans repaid. I faxed my resume to every nurse recruiter at major hospitals, I emailed nurse recruiters at HHC and LTC facilities. I followed up with phone calls. I looked into non profit organizations, group homes, homeless shelters. I made it a full time job to apply to jobs. And not every email or phone call turned into an opportunity. It's a tough market, sometimes disheartening, especially for new grads, but it's not impossible. Stay positive. Someone will give you a chance. I wish you the best.

In reference to the NYU residency program what do you mean by "a panel interview if you are selected with a case study specific to disease and drugs" ?

Thank you for pointing out my run on sentence. If you meet the requirements, you may be selected for a panel interview. During the panel interview, you may be presented with s/s of a disease. You must determine the plan of treatment and identify drugs you would expect the client to be on. This is in addition to common/behavioral interview questions. However, the point of my post was be open minded about employment.

I would say that statement is very misleading. Yes, there are many options in NYC, however, for EXPERIENCED nurses, usually not many options for new grads. But I do agree that one should be flexible and open-minded. That is key.

:cry: I am going through the same situation. I've applied to well over 200 positions (new grad and non-new grad) in NYC and still haven't gotten any responses yet. I've been searching for over 7 months. I applied to hospitals in other boroughs too. It's so discouraging because almost all my classmates have RN positions already. I'm getting so frustrated and anxious that I'm beginning to plan a change in careers already.

Saying there are many options is not misleading. Many, meaning a considerable number, opportunities do exist. You just need to wait it out. If we all come from different schools, and we say "almost all my classmates have RN positions already," that means there are many opportunities out there. The opportunities don't knock on your door. And when I say NYC, I mean 5 boroughs since that's what comprises the city. I have also heard of people venturing to New Jersey or Connecticut because opportunities panned out faster. This is just my observation. I wanted to be helpful since I was in the situation not long ago. I did not sign on the forum to argue. Good luck to all!
