    Birdsofprey posted a topic in School, College Programs

    Hi! I am registering for classes for my first semester at CUNY SPS' RN to BSN online program, and they suggest taking only 2 classes the first semester. I just wanted to reach out and see if anyone...

  4. Fired from my first travel gig after 4 days

    Birdsofprey replied to Birdsofprey's topic in Travel

    Thanks NedRN, it seems that I have learned some of the reality of travel nursing the hard way. Just because I am marketable for having experience in a dysfunctional city hospital where I had 12...

  5. Fired from my first travel gig after 4 days

    Birdsofprey replied to Birdsofprey's topic in Travel

    Thanks Damion. Sorry that happened to you as well - from what I am reading, this is just part of the downside of Travel Assignments. My confidence is a little shaken since I am a relatively new RN and...

  7. Can you return the bedside? NYC

    Birdsofprey posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi All! Is it possible to return to hospital nursing after leaving and doing something more hands off as an RN for a year or two? I am thinking of doing this until I finish my BSN. Any advice or...

  8. Termination

    Birdsofprey replied to nursetweety's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Nursetweety - I am just curious, what setting did you work in for most of your career? Were you in Geriatrics the whole time? I work in NYC and I know a lot of clinics also hire LPNs and that does not...

    Birdsofprey replied to Birdsofprey's topic in New York Nursing

    This is most definitely not a hoax. I am someone who often feels the media makes things much worse and highly exaggerates things. But trust me- this is not a hoax. I know it may seem that way if you...

  12. Can you return the bedside? NYC

    Birdsofprey replied to Birdsofprey's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Libranurse- I work on a telemetry unit which is really a step down unit, but they combine it with med surg so they can get away with the insane patient ratios. Many times I have total care pts who...

  13. Can you return the bedside? NYC

    Birdsofprey replied to Birdsofprey's topic in General Nursing

    I'm thinking of leaving the bedside until I get my BSN and get in with a private hospital. Right now I am only marketable to public hospitals and the conditions are abysmal and all the nurses are at...

  14. First semester at CUNY SPS

    Birdsofprey replied to Birdsofprey's topic in School, College Programs

    Some people finish the program in 3 semesters if they take more than 2 classes per semester and take summer classes. 2 of the classes involve clinicals though, and you cannot take both of those at the...

    Birdsofprey replied to Birdsofprey's topic in New York Nursing

    Hi Happy Faces- City hospitals will hire ADNs. It looks like NYP only hires RNs who have BSNs.I go to CUNY SPS for my

    Hi!! I think they called me back at 2 weeks, but others have waited much longer to hear back. You could always try checking in with them again about your status

  20. Leaving before 1 year? Don't know what to do..

    Birdsofprey posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi All, I have been working on a telemetry unit in a public hospital in NYC and this month makes 6 months experience for me as a new RN (I was an LPN prior to this but it was in a clinic setting). I...

  21. Leaving before 1 year? Don't know what to do..

    Birdsofprey replied to Birdsofprey's topic in General Nursing

    Apparently all the floors are this bad, and the ER is even worse. The ICUs are even short-staffed. Management is complacent and does not help, they always claim they are "hiring more nurses" but even...

  22. Leaving before 1 year? Don't know what to do..

    Birdsofprey replied to Birdsofprey's topic in General Nursing

    I may not have better opportunities elsewhere, though I can try. I won't leave unless something really good comes my way. But as others have said, 6 more months will likely be here sooner than I think...

  24. Leaving before 1 year? Don't know what to do..

    Birdsofprey replied to Birdsofprey's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, on telemetry. They get away with it by calling it a combination med-surg/telemetry floor. But my hospital has no step down units so patients are often sent to my floor from the ICU whether they...

    Thank you for your input- I cannot transfer internally until 1 year (believe me, I have checked). Nice Daria avatar by the
