New York Presbyterian Nursing Attendant

Published

Hi I'm new here and I originally posted this in the general forum but I think that posting this in the New York forum might be better. I recently applied to New York Presbyterian Nursing Attendant - BSN Students class of 2017 and 2018 and got a call back for an interview. I was wondering if anyone else has applied and has been through this process. For example, what to expect during the interview, what should I bring with me, what is like working for NYP and etc. ?

I ended up quitting. I was given the night shift with no other choice and it didn't work out for me. :no:

Perhaps you can answer me anyway. How long was orientation for you? Could you get extra shifts if you wanted? How soon was it until you started working?

2 day orientation on the weekend, Saturday and Sunday. Yes, you can pick up as much as 5 shifts a week and no less than 2. 4 weekend days per month required, if working overnight, Saturday into Sunday and Sunday into Monday only, (Friday doesn't qualify). I interviewed in February but the job isn't actually until May.

How far in advance before the event did you submit your application? I did mine just a couple of days ago and the event is Friday. Kind of worried I wont be reviewed in time.

I did it 2-3 weeks prior too. A recruiter calls and does a mini interview and then sets you up for a specific slot on the interview day. But if you don't make this one, I believe there will be another one in February.

I'll be graduating soon so I was hoping to get the experience going before hand. Thanks for your response!

Hi everyone! For those of you who are working as a nursing attendant while in school and have overnight shifts..how is that working out? Is it hard to juggle that while in school?

Id like to know also. I was just hired as a CNA full time at NYP. It comes with amazing benefits such as being union and tuition assistance but the hours are overnight. I'm nervous about balancing it with school so i was wondering if anyone has done this successfully

If you're working at Columbia, the night shift is terribly understaffed. I was only the only one on the floor 9/10 times. When I used to leave work in the morning to head to school I could barely stand. The perks are amazing but the job itself is rough.

I was in the float pool... but when I floated to units there was usually no one else or just 1. I remember one day I went to the Oncology floor and the nurse were telling me that their part time Nursing Attendant has been there for 9 years and after many requests, refuses to go full-time because of the burnout.

A little off topic, but anyone here, Nurse or Nursing Assistant currently work or used to work on the telemetry (cardiac stepdown) unit at Weill Cornell?
