1. Are these books worth the $$$

   stereotypical replied to justjenny's topic in Operating Room

   I use both Alexanders and the Pocket Guide. The guide I bring with me to work, when I want to look up something quick. The other book when I want specifics.

2. New OR nurse here

   stereotypical replied to ALORNurse's topic in Operating Room

   So far it's been both very exciting and tiring.

3. No longer a new grad, still no job

   stereotypical replied to skny's topic in New York

   Like I said, I'm not sure how accurate that is. It was at the top of my google search query and was used as a jumping point for the OP. I don't know about NYU and St. Francis, I'm sure they are. St. Peter's is. St. Mary's in Troy is in the process o...

4. New OR nurse here

   stereotypical replied to ALORNurse's topic in Operating Room

   I owe a part of it to the nurse recruiter. She got a good read on me the first time we met and directed me towards a position that best fit.

6. New OR nurse here

   stereotypical replied to ALORNurse's topic in Operating Room

   I was in an ABSN program so clinical time was crunched. I had about a handful of observation days in the OR, Endo, Same Day, and PACU. No internship, but I've volunteered on a few surgical missions (missed out on the last two trips). An aunt and fami...

7. No longer a new grad, still no job

   stereotypical replied to skny's topic in New York

   What about hospitals with magnet status, or ones that are trying to get it? Your BSN might give you a slight advantage (okay maybe not, but it's worth a shotl... right?). I did a quick search and this is what I found (not sure of the accuracy): Basse...

8. New OR nurse here

   stereotypical replied to ALORNurse's topic in Operating Room

   I've been reading a surgical procedures book so I have a bit of a head start on what to expect. They told me to not to get ahead of myself, but I have too much down time at the moment!

    stereotypical replied to 0907's topic in New York

    Just received some very very very good news right now! Pay at St. Mary's for new grads is a little over 22/hr.

13. What are my chances of getting an RN job in NYC?

    stereotypical replied to zolow's topic in New York

    The problem with who you know and who knows you is that there are a lot of us out there at the moment. Right now when someone tells me they "know someone" I smile, nod, and move on to another subject. For the OP, I'm with the other responses of not m...

    stereotypical replied to 0907's topic in New York

    I graduated from the Albany area, but not for nursing school. According to the email they're aren't hiring for the graduate nurse position. It could be a budget issue, it could be something else. St. Peter's does have Magnet status, and St. Mary's i...

    stereotypical replied to 0907's topic in New York

    It isn't a rumor - St. Peter's, St. Mary's (Seton Health), and Northeast Health (Samaritan Hospital and Albany Memorial) agreed to the merger last year. From what I've heard (this coming from one of the hospitals) it's in the FTC's hands, and once th...
