   NYP Hiring Process Post-References

   oneday_nursepoundcake replied to sanjedi's topic in Job Hunt

   Thank you for the support. To my surprise I just got an offer for a job I really, really wanted (at NYP's main competitor) this morning and accepted. Very happy and relieved in a way I have been waiting for a long time. Graduating and passing t...

   NYP Hiring Process Post-References

   oneday_nursepoundcake replied to sanjedi's topic in Job Hunt

   I'm impressed you guys have even gotten interviews with NYP hospitals. I did all my clinicals with them, and still am in application purgatory and assuming nothing will move forward. Very frustrating to be a new grad, thought this year might be bette...

   NYC Health + Hospitals Interview Process

   oneday_nursepoundcake replied to mp0154's topic in Job Hunt

   Thanks for the info! That is kinda encouraging. I've been sending endless applications into the void, trying to painstakingly customize my cover letters and stuff -- but it does feel a bit futile sometimes. Hope all goes well for you.

   May I ask if you got the interview by applying to the position through their website -- or did you have a connection, etc? Good luck!!

   Direct Entry MSN 2020 at Columbia University

   oneday_nursepoundcake replied to FutureRN2FNP's topic in School Programs

   No, I don't think it matters where your pre-requisites come from. But I will say that the science (A&P and Chemistry in particular) ones I took at community college (in the CUNY system) were actually more brutal and competitive than any classes I...

   Direct Entry MSN 2020 at Columbia University

   oneday_nursepoundcake replied to FutureRN2FNP's topic in School Programs

   Hi! In my first semester of MDE here too and definitely suggest applying (especially when it's early and you happen to have time/energy -- no harm in having as many options as possible). I was actually NOT going to apply to Columbia due to cost conce...

   Direct Entry MSN 2020 at Columbia University

   oneday_nursepoundcake replied to FutureRN2FNP's topic in School Programs

   I don't have anything to add re: this OPEN thing (first time I'm hearing about it and I'm my first semester of the Columbia MDE program). I'm curious if it's premium-priced like regular Columbia tuition? If cost is a factor, I'll chime in that I took...

   Experiences w/ Phillips School of Nursing Mt. Sinai ABSN?

   oneday_nursepoundcake replied to oneday_nursepoundcake's topic in School Programs

   @psonstudent- I'm very sorry you've been dealing with this. That really, really sucks. Thank you for being so candid about your experience. This info is very valuable to so many of us, and not easy to come by. I had a strange feeling about PSON after...

   Direct Entry MSN 2020 at Columbia University

   oneday_nursepoundcake replied to FutureRN2FNP's topic in School Programs

   While the online learning/uncertainty certainly suck, I also agree that nursing school everywhere is going to be a hot mess for a while -- so I'm trying to embrace the upside of how interesting and unique this will make the experience overall as a nu...

    Are Big City Hospitals Really Getting Hit With COVID-19 Pts?

    oneday_nursepoundcake replied to EPS's topic in COVID

    Thank you for sharing this. I'm not a nurse yet, but just trying to get started with nursing school in NYC this Summer as a NYC local hunkered down with my family in our apartment -- and the heartache of this city right now (not even as a brave soul ...

    Are Big City Hospitals Really Getting Hit With COVID-19 Pts?

    oneday_nursepoundcake replied to EPS's topic in COVID

    I'm just a nursing student here in NYC, but I walk by the makeshift morgue outside of one of the hospitals (smaller than most others) in my neighborhood almost every day. There was one big refrigerator truck for bodies last week, and now there's been...

    Mount Sinai ABSN Summer 2020

    oneday_nursepoundcake replied to BSSB's topic in School Programs

    Has the school already moved to the Harlem location, or is that coming up? I already paid a deposit at another school, but am having second thoughts and wanting to learn as much as I can about what's currently going on at PSON. I'm leery about big ne...

    Hi - I'm glad to find others who applied to/and or were accepted at this school for the ABSN program. I was having a hard time finding anyone! I received an acceptance email about a week ago, though I never had an interview. I emailed the office to g...

    oneday_nursepoundcake replied to FutureRN2FNP's topic in School Programs

    Hi! I also gave my deposit to Columbia and have been struggling a lot with the online issue. For me, it's because I'm a parent and am not sure childcare will be possible due to continued covid-19 restrictions through the Summer (camps closed, etc). L...
