Interviews at Stony Brook & North Shore

U.S.A. New York

Published

I have an interview for a position as a new graduate RN at Stony Brook Hospital on Monday and another interview at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset on Tuesday. I am trying to get into the ICU or the ED. Has anyone interviewed at these hospitals recently? What kind of questions do they ask? What kind of orientations do they offer? Would you recommend these hospitals? Any information would be helpful. Thank you.

DC2RN,

Thank your for replying...I am glad that you are doing well. I know that you must really be busy so I am glad that you responded. If at all possibble do you know what the sarting salary is for a new grad? And any other info that you may be able to share as to what else they may have "package wise" . Once again thanks

The hospital is impressive. Manhassett is a Level I Trauma Center and a teaching hospital affiliated with several local colleges. They are very committed to education and orientation. They are continuously recruiting, so do not be surprised if you get an offer on the spot.

I think everybody has adjusting to the pace of their first real nursing job. Things move very fast, but I am learning more every day.

Good Luck on the interview!

next monday, i am starting an orientation in the north shore open heart icu. i was so impressed by north shore hospital. what a beautiful facility?

stony brook makes you work a year in cardiology before you can work in the icu. plus the starting salary at stony brook is significantly lower than other local hospitals. the benefits are tremendous at stony brook.

take note of where most of long island's nurses work- they travel many miles to get to north shore, lij and the like.

thats not true!!

Just a bit ;)

Things have changed in three years time. There are many more opportunities for new grads now.

It is interesting that this thread was revived. I have been working at North Shore for the past three years, but I just accepted a position at Stony Brook. I still really like North Shore. The reason that I am changing is because I recently moved, and Stony Brook is much closer to my new house.

When I interviewed three years ago, the salary at Stony Brook was $6000.00 less. Now the salaries are the same. I was also very impressed with the retirement benefits at Stony Brook.

Yes, DC2RN, the retirement benefits are second to none. I knew you would be impressed. Health insurance includes med/dental/vision. Ask your nurse recruitment about the ICU residency program, where you rotate first into the different ICUs (- just to prove that you wont have to work cardiology before landing an ICU position.) by the way, what ICU are you applying for?
