New York Presbyterian BSN only?

U.S.A. New York

Published

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know if NYP only hires BSN. I've been searching the boards and have 3 different answers:

1. BSN is preferred but ADNs can still be hired.

2. if you are an ADN enrolled in a BSN program you are eligible.

3. they will not hire you no matter what if you don't have a BSN even if they Nursing manager wants you, HR will not allow it.

Does anyone have a definite answer. I know their website says BSN preferred, but often with hospitals preferred means only. I have attempted to contact HR with this question, but have not heard back. Thanks for any help anyone could give me.

For the most part BSN, have ADNs been hired yes, but not alot. This is 3rd party knowledge and not even from someone in HR, so not how valid it is. From the looks of my orientation class everyone has BSNs, so i honestly am not sure.

I have a phone interview with them this Monday and I have my ASN with BSN completion in August. So I'll let you know more information when I can...

Well if you are matriculated into a BSN program then you have a good change because you will eventually have ur BSN. However, I'm talking about people who just have their ASN and are not going for their BSN.

Just following up with my post, but my phone interview with the recruiter went well. She said she will forward my info to the L&D department. So hoping to hear something back.

I applied for the New Grad waiting list at NYP and I only have my AS - I am starting the RN to BSN bridge program in the fall so I put that on my resume (plus I have a bachelor degree in an unrelated field). Obviously, the wait list is a far cry from being hired, but I heard that people who applied for the list actually got rejection emails, so the fact that I even made it onto the wait list is enough to make me happy. There are hospitals on LI not nearly as prestigious as NYP that simply send emails back with a flat out "we're looking at BSN applicants only" even though the job postings say BSN preferred. It's all very frustrating!!:confused:

I applied to the New Grad Wait List and got a rejection email. I have a two-year RN degree but I have a bachelor's in another field, will start my RN-BSN bridge in the fall (and that's on my resume), and I had an acute care externship in summer 2010. I had everything on NYP's wish list except the BSN... I guess it's super-competitive, because I didn't even make it onto the wait list.

Just an update on myself. I was able to get an in-person interview last week Monday (June 20th) and was offered a position the next day. I am sooo happy :lol2:

Also NYP IS leaning towards BSN only. I will be finished with my BSN this August and will officially start in L&D in September (of course with passing their pharm test first which I'm doing in August).
