New York Presbyterian Hospital

by MCH123

Hello all,
I am planning to take my first travel assignment later in the fall. The agency I've chosen is Cross Country. I will be working in Manhattan. As New York is currently not "starving" for nurses, the pay isn't fabulous, but money is not my sole priority. The hospital my recruiter and I are considering is New York Presbyterian; there are positions available in the CT ICU. This is right up my alley as I currently work in an adult ICU where I care for many very sick cardiovascular patients like CABG's, valves, and AAA's. My current hospital is a Magnet hospital, and while no facility or work environment is without problems, I am very proud to work here. However, even if just temporarily, I want to broaden my horizons, and I'd like to have another impressive hospital or two to put on my resume. If anyone has taken an assignment here (I think there may be more than one campus) or has any knowledge about the working conditions, quality, pt care, treatment of travelers (ha!), etc of this facility, I would appreciate your input. As I am still in the beginning phase, I have not spoken with anyone from NY Pres. and expect an interview. I know this will tell me alot as well. Unbiased opinions are always helpful. Thanks and good luck with all your endeavors. This site, as well as all on all.nurses.com is very informative.

Cornell or Columbia division????

I enjoyed my time at the Cornell section.

The Columbia campus is where Clinton had cardiac care (public release info - no HIPAA violation)
