    oneday_nursepoundcake replied to sanjedi's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    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...

    NYP Hiring Process Post-References

    oneday_nursepoundcake replied to sanjedi's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    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...

    NYC Health + Hospitals Interview Process

    oneday_nursepoundcake replied to mp0154's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    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...

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

    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...

    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...

    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...

    oneday_nursepoundcake posted a topic in School, College Programs

    Hi - I'm finishing up my application for a summer 2020 start to the ABSN program, but have had some questions come up. I will probably reach out to the school, but also just realizing I haven't met...

    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...

    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...

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

    oneday_nursepoundcake replied to EPS's topic in Disaster Preparation

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    Thank you so much for sharing this, and clarifying many things. I have been thinking of you folks a lot. And also about all the nurses on the front lines right now. It does kind of scare me that all...

    oneday_nursepoundcake replied to FutureRN2FNP's topic in School, College Programs

    Yikes! But this all makes sense given that NYC hospitals don't even have enough masks/PPE to keep healthcare workers safe right now -- which is a crime really. DeBlasio has likened the situation to a...

    The most recent messages from the school seem to indicate they are struggling to just deal with the situation for current students -- especially since all clinicals have just been cancelled. It is...

    oneday_nursepoundcake replied to FutureRN2FNP's topic in School, College Programs

    So true. It also blew my mind to learn one of the reasons NYC won't close public schools is because school, not home, is where a huge number of kids get their daily meals and other needs met. I have...
