Hi billythekid,
I'm also interested in the LIJ fellowship. I heard that LIJ hires into the fellowship two times a year. Do you know when these two times are? Also, I know that the training period lasts for a year but at what point do you become an independent full-time ICU nurse? Is the fellowship compedetive? How many nurses do they hire? Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi murasaki81 unfortunatetly I can't respond to you because you have to have 15 posts to even reply. Anyway I dont know to much about the fellowship program. I wanted to comment about the orientation process asked by the person who started the thread. I dont recommend the floor and the orientation is unorganized.
This year, there were 3 fellowship classes... starting in March, June, and October... not sure of the specific stats of how many applied versus accepted, but I know a few people who were not offered fellowship spots (there were about 20 RN's in my group).. the ppl i know who didn't get a spot were offered a job on a different floor though. After classes and working with a day and nite preceptor, the target time for independent assignments is 6-7 months.
North shore LIJ are both terrible with calling people back. I work at manhasset. nursing is terrible. The only good thing is the paycheck and the time off. it is a terrible attitude but the truth. I went to nassau and graduated in 2006. where did you go?
i went to university at buffalo graduated in may, i just feel stuck because i dont have alot of options coming in and if they do call me back and offer me a position im probably going to have to take it because of my position. I guess my attitude is i put in a year there and i can get a job somewhere else better. Have you considered other hospitals? How long have you been working at manhasset, what floor do you work on?

I am interviewing for a position on 4N an oncology floor because thats pretty much all thats open right now. I was wondering what anybody has heard about it cuz im scared that it will be a bad experience. does anyone know how the orientation is cuz ive heard mixed things about that to. Also when you are offered a position whats a polite time frame to get back to someone about it? thanks for any input!
