Eek thank you!!! Are you applying? Good luck! I will be applying this weekend!

BUMP. Any insight on psych in Philly?

Hello everyone. I live in NYC and I lost my job in Hurricane Sandy 5 months ago and I am have not been able to find another one, but not for lack of effort. And I was working per diem too so no...

Thanks everyone. Please keep me in your thoughts, I have arranged with my landlord to pay rent in installments this month but he will likely not be so generous in the upcoming months. I greatly...

Thanks, Sherlucky! I am crossing my fingers for you!

Ah, just saw where you specified NYC, sorry I missed that. I would check HHC openings frequently as they update their postings daily. Good luck!!

Not sure where you are located in NY, but the city hospitals hire LPNs and my friend works as an LPN at an outpatient clinic at Harlem Hospital.

I wanted to apply but the website is weird..they don't list the specialties! I am a psych nurse, so I don't want to waste my time and apply for unknown specialties if psych is not available. Did...

Yeah, I fully admit that I am jealous. But it also seemed suspicious to me, because I have worked for some of the major hospitals in the city and none have ever been that flexible with me. Can I...

Welcome to New York!! The Upper East Side has some relatively affordable deals that are doable on a nurse's salary. My boyfriend pays $1,500 a month for a studio in the 80s East of 2nd Avenue. It...

Thank you so much. Your post was so helpful. I am scanning the job openings right now. I know commuting would be miserable..but nothing can compare to the misery of unemployment. Does anyone else...

I am so discouraged. I think I have exhausted Manhattan, Brooklyn, Qns, and the Bx. My question is..is the market any better in Staten Island? How about Long Island? I have done some research but I...

And these jobs are perfectly flexible with each other? I call BS. At least you made up a question at the end to technically abide by the TOS.

I would clarify the poorly defined (even nonexistent) boundaries that our role encompasses. ESPN has fuzzy reception? Trash needs emptying? Patient wants lime jello instead of lemon? A visitor wants...

I am one of said nurses. I got my BSN in 2006 and began my nursing in grueling med/surg, or as I like to call it, "the dungeon." I worked at a notoriously under-staffed and under-performing city...

I also pronounce it "cent." It annoys me slightly when I hear it pronounced as "sont"..it just sounds a bit pretentious to me.

It depends on the facility. I worked at one hospital where nurses took over in psychiatric codes, and I worked at another hospital where nurses stood back while the MHAs (who were big ex-cops) tried...

Eh, I did my obligatory few years in Med/Surg before psych. I am grateful for the experience but I was miserable and I wouldn't recommend it to others who are confident in their desire to specialize...

I agree with elkpark. Some context would be helpful. I am also confused because the title mentioned what therapies to do and then you asked about activities. I'll do my best to address the therapies....

My answer to your question is a resounding yes! Sometimes I fantasize about other specialties..but never enough to regret psych or seriously consider switching over. With your experience,...

Thanks. I especially like the suggestion to follow his lead. I will let him decide if we are going to acknowledge our former contact and I will respond accordingly. Thanks again.

Hi folks, I am hoping some of you here can help me. At my old hospital I had a patient who was a medical student. He had a lot of issues to work through but he and I shared a very therapeutic...

Unfortunately, age discrimination is alive is well in the nursing market. My previous job was the evening shift, 3p-11:30p, and naturally attracted a younger crew - single, childfree, etc. The...

No. Nursing theory is just ivory tower nonsense.

Good to know, Sha-Sha. Thank you so much for the info.
