NEW NYC ADN graduates - where are you working?

Published

I know a lot of people sort of fall off this site once they start nursing school but I really need to know. Despite, not having the coveted BSN degree are New ADN grads working in NYC?

This applies to anyone whose graduated in the last year in a half.

Hello, I graduated with an ADN last March, passed my nclex in May and got a job in a sub acute rehab facility in July. Recently I got a job offer at a Northwell Hospital. I will be done with my BSN by the end of April 2017. Just keep applying. Good luck!

Try Parker Jewish Institute in New Hyde Park. Very good starting salary and benefits. Union is NYSNA. They take ADN

Thanks do you mind sharing salary range? Interview process and length of time it took from application to hire

Graduated in June 2016 with my ADN from LaGuardia Community College and currently work at NYC + HHC Harlem Hospital in the emergency department. So far so good. I love it!

Fortunately I was a LPN before i attained my RN and worked at a nursing home/ rehab center. I built a work ethic and relationships with my coworkers who also worked at hospitals. Finally, when it came time to ask them if they could get me into their hospitals, they obliged. For many of my classmates still,it's been difficult. If you want to work in hospital in NYC, most either want experience or BSN at the

minimum. Nursing homes are usually willing to hire new grad RNs. However, I know some who've newly graduated with no prior experience at all and have landed jobs. It will take perisitence. If you really believe it's for you, then go for it!

I was a ASN and just graduated with my BSN. I have 4-5 years experience in the hospital and have a hard time finding a job! I really prefer NYP columbia or cornell but I can never land an interview :( There aren't even that much openings like before. Is NYP going through something anyone know?

Where did you work as an ADN? How long did you take to land a position? Any advice for new grads or students regarding networking, etc

That's amazing! Gives me hope. May I ask for your experience in trying to land a job with ADN?

I just graduated and will take my NCLEX by the beginning of march. I need to land a job asap due to certain obligations.

I think you should be looking now. It is possible to secure a position contingent on passing NCLEX

Ah I see. I'll do that. I assumed that was applicable to RN- grads already working as an LPN or an aide.
