Desperate New Grad NYC/LI

Published

Hello, 

So I have come across a lot of posts over the years where people explained how they were able to get hold of a recruiter's info in order to expedite the interview process. I am literally stressed out of my mind due to the fact that I did not think it was going to take me this long to find work and don't even want to think about what will happen if this process is delayed even more. I will truly appreciate if anyone can PM recruiter contacts for any inpatient setting in the NYC/LI area.

Are you willing to work at LIJ Medical Center?

I’m willing to work almost anywhere at this point LOL. So definitely yes. I actually was just looking on their website to check it out and it looks like a really great facility. I’m currently in Suffolk County so the commute would definitely be reasonable. I don’t mind a longer drive, unless it’s somewhere in NYC itself LOL. Definitely needed the reminder that there are opportunities available further away, so I honestly appreciate it!

Truthfully, most hiring managers don't give a rats butt about your GPA. Mention if you wish, but most will skim right by it

I got a job thankfully, but im sure GPA has some influence as a new Rad.

I have a recruiter if you can send me your resume and contact.

Best of luck to everyone here, it is indeed rough in the NYC/LI area and you be surprised half of the hospitals are short staffed and or people internally are begging to hire new nurses. I'm a new grad who just got offered a ICU/MICU position at Mount Sinai and trust me when I say I was applying for months and had legitimate job searching depression. I'm still shook till this moment that I got that position in light of me getting rejected from every med surg position in the world.

 

If you want any tips, use every resource at your disposal. For example I used Linkedin and literally messaged  the nursing CEO of one of the hospitals (I expecting no response) and she offered me an interview but on the same day I had the ICU interview/offer so I had to cancel that interview. But either way think outside of the box and ditch your pride for how to approach people. If you see a random person on instagram or facebook and they say they work at a hospital, don't be afraid to send them a friendly text.

This is half true and half false btw. NYU Langone and Catholic Health  recruiters will pre screen you and knock you out if your GPA is below 3.5. Nurse managers probably won't give a rat's *** but the recruiters do.

It's probably location/specialty dependent. I just know it's never made a difference to me, and I've done a little recruiting, but not much
