Hi all! Just became a NY RN!

[Chloe'sinNYNow]

well sorta. LOL.

I"ve been hired by Albany Medical Center and will start next week. But I cannot find any news on this forum about them.

Does anyone know about them? I took the offer because they are a Level I teaching hospital and I believe that's a terrific place to learn in.

Does anyone here know if that's true? Are they a good facility? Do they reward their RN's? Not paywise from what I"ve gathered, nor benefits. They are quite stingy in those areas.

Can anyone tell me if they welcome new grads or have happy/comfortable working atmospheres? Comfortable pt/nurse ratios?

Anything? There's a huge chasm of information here. Makes me wish I was moving to the NYC area since I read about it so often.

Can anyone help this new grad?

Thanks

I'm glad things are finally working out. Seems like Year One of nursing is some sort of a hazing, doesn't it?

It's possible you're pre menopausal. My oldest sister said she was 46 when she got her last period.

Does anyone know about/ or work in any of the critical care units at AMC? Possibly thinking of moving in the future and am interested in working here.
