Brookdale University Hospital & Medical Center

Published

Hello,

I am really interested in working at Brookdale Medical Center, Brooklyn - does anyone know their interview process or can any current RN give me their insight on working in the facility?

Thank you.

yes i heard so too she was in ICU for a while however she had severe injuries. Maybe Brookdale revamped their safety for employees? Im not sure as I do not know anyone at Brookdale however I know NYSNA (the state nurses association) was campaigning at city hall and in albany for employee safety from violence.

Thank you so much. Brookdale is the last place I want to work but I need to show some type of RN experience so I can land the job I desire. Even with my LPN experience I havent been receiving many interviews.

Yea i tried. I work weekends per diem in a small nursing home and they are on the verge of closing.. so they are not updating me as a RN.. i work in a hospital monday thru friday as a secretary as well as go to school at this hospital for my BSN and the hospital wont hire me unless my BSN is complete.. I have went on a few interviews.. and was told even with my Lpn experience, they will not hire me without Rn experience... just cant win...

I worked at Brookdale for several years, it's not a bad place to work and gain loads of experience. I think if you really need a place to work and really want to advance your career this place is a great start. The incident that happened with the nurse was very unfortunate and could have happened anywhere. The patient did not show any signs of mental issues before discharge and therefore the incident was unforeseen.

Currently, I've moved on in my career and am vey pleased with the experience I gained working at Brookdale. Like other places they do have their shortcomings but I owe a great deal of gratitude to the organization.
