New York Presbyterian interview with nurse leaders new grad event summer 2014

[KLW96]

I went to the top new grad invites only event on July 29th 2014 meeting with unit managers.

i was wondering if anyone who went to any of these event heard back from them since then?

Congrats Fenway1!!! Was this for the med/surge float pool or a position on an NYP unit?

I am still in the hiring process doing all the paperwork, background checks, etc. It is at Columbia on a neuro floor and happened very fast. I got an email last week inviting me for an interview, had the interview this week and got a call the same day offering me the job.

Two bits of advice: first of all I thought I had done horribly with this nurse manager - she gave me no positive feedback, I felt I didn't answer her questions well and I had no hope she would call but I was wrong. Two managers told me they would call and never did. So you just never know. So don't give up hope. And secondly, if you don't live in NY get your license endorsed now if you haven't already. They want you to bring the original copy of your license when you go for your interview. You won't have time to get it endorsed if you wait until they call. It took me a little over two months to get mine endorsed.

Congrats!! This gives me some much needed hope :). Are you on a pediatric floor? Just wondering because the event I went to was all Peds

Has anyone gotten any calls for the NICU? I heard they were starting up interviews for it. I am just curious because i believe the manager at the new grad event said she would contact me for an interview.

GoVeg, it's an adult floor. I went to the August 15 event met with 5 representatives from a variety of adult floors. There were lots of peds units there but I was only interested in adult so that's where I spent my time.

Anyone who was hired at NYP-Cornell as a New Grad, what was your starting salary?

Hhhmmm.... I received a polite "no thanks" we don't want you email...Not that I can prove anything, but I'd love to see their hiring demographics in this New BSN Grad program...I bet there aren't a lot of age 50+ New Grads accepted! New thread idea; Age-ism, does it exist in Nursing?

Congrats on the new grad seminar! Keep your options open though, I know a lot of people that were invited to those seminars, but more than 90% of those people weren't offered a job. This had nothing to do with their qualifications. People who get hired at NYP, all campuses, only get hired if they know someone that works there who can push their resume to HR or to the unit managers. Good luck though!
