Updated NYC New Graduate Nursing jobs?

Your post should be over in the "New York" section for maximum exposure to locals with information to assist in your employment search.

Short answer is there seems to be some hiring going on with posters reporting new hires at Mount Sinai, NYP, Lenox Hill and elsewhere. However as you may have guessed there are still many, many new grads and experienced nurses still looking for work and or trying to pick-up hours.

anyone have advice for a new grad RN waiting for a job in nyc to do in the meantime... i was considering being a aide or taking any job for a some income

In NYS you are held to the standard of your highest license. So even if working as a UAP if you are a RN and something goes south you open yourself up to being sued not as a nursing assistant per se, but a professional nurse. This obviously makes sense since graduate of a nursing program and having passed the boards obviously knows more than a CNA.

That being said many new grads have remained in or sought out employment as varied as working at Starbucks to ward clerk.

i feel your pain, i am in ct, i have a license but not a car and haven't driven much since i got it. I think i am going to say to you what i have just said to myself, i gotta get on the road:uhoh21::heartbeat

DON'T COME TO NEW YORK CITY. The fact that a city this large has only a few okay-ish hospitals should tell you that this is not a particularly thriving healthcare system. NYP hospital system cut their new graduate training program for external candidates last spring. I did a two month internship at Weill Cornell Medical Center (part of the NYP system) towards the end of my nursing school year, and they wouldn't consider my application. Nobody else in my nursing school got hired by them either. I graduated from a NYC nursing school back in May. Even before graduation I was networking with nurses, nurse managers, and instructors, sending out resumes, etc. I have had NO job offers. Just one job interview. (To put this in perspective, I had clinical instructors telling me I was their best student and that they were sure I'd get hired right away) I'm planning on moving to Houston, where the hospital system is even larger and better-funded. My advice: don't come here. Consider places that have a large medical center, like Cleveland. The job search in this city feels more like a really bad game of musical chairs. Maybe you'll be one of the few who gets something, but no reasonable person would want to take such a big gamble.
