Health care is becoming a field of pure intimidation, bullying, and staff have no rights. It's always do what they say or be fired. No conversations to be had, no surveys. Nothing. We are willing to...

Thats the issue. Employers lash out at the wrong people. I don't give them any problems. This is the first time out of many years I have ever said no. I have worked all hour shifts, every day....
CardiTeleRN replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in General Nursing
I don't believe I can agree with that because we have all seen people of all ages parish from COVID without underlying conditions. I think this is the mindset of many health care facilities at this...

Well, there are other criteria that we have listed. Plus, there are plenty of young people with cancer DX, pulomonary fibrosis, etc, that will put them at risk. People still have to work and pay bills...

Well at my employment, they actually have a policy in place that allows exemptions for those with chronic illnesses. There is just a process that needs to be completed such as completing the exemption...
CardiTeleRN replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in General Nursing
Ironically, my excuse was actually covid related but not to illness, more of an exemption of working covid units due to my other chronic condition. Nurse supervisor is not pleased with that to say the...
Hello!
I've recently posted about the difficulties of finding employment in NYC. I see multiple commenters mention that being hired is virtually impossible as a new grad. I am not a new grad;...
My place of employment is also forcing us to work with fresh surgery patients while floating is back and forth to covid units. They are also forcing us to work even if we are covid positive but...

It’s not about who can juggle the most hardships, it’s about patient safety. If one person can juggle a family, 2 jobs, and run the flower shop while working night shift and still perform their...

Not all new nurses leave after the year and not all new nurses should have to work night shift. I worked night shift as a CNA with a new born while in school full time taking 15 credits at a time. I...
CardiTeleRN replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in General Nursing
Valid point! This is what I mean! This is why I say associates are better than bachelors. Associate degrees spend more time in the clinical setting than classroom like bachelors which is why I don’t...

No one is entitled a job; however, I believe it is silly for an employer to turn away an ASN new grad whom may be actually well qualified to hit the ground running for a BSN holder. Unfortunately,...
CardiTeleRN replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in General Nursing
This response is the only legitimate one that I see happen all the time. I hear the new grads constantly mention how they want to work at specific teaching hospitals for only a year for their resume...
CardiTeleRN replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in General Nursing
Of course! I just feel it’s not fair for people to have to leave their homes, family, friends, etc to find a job that’ll pay them just the same give or take a dollar or two. Shouldn’t have to...
CardiTeleRN replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in General Nursing
This is true. I believe nurses that hold associates are much more prepared clinically for acute care fresh out of school than BSN holders. Associates focuses solely on clinical practice. ASN holders...
How difficult is it to get into NYC hospitals? I've applied to literally 138 jobs online for NYC health and hospitals. I have been a RN since feb of 2019. I have a little over a year and a half of...
They asked if I had experience, I have 2 years of experience so I'm not sure if they are hiring new grads. I will ask how they feel about hiring new grads! I'm sure there are plenty of people curious...
I do have a BSN, it's specified on my resume as well as all of my experience in addition to having BLS and ACLS. I called them today. HR stated they are hiring - there is no hiring freeze at this...
I hope not. There's no reason to continue with a freeze. I may attempt to give HR a call tomorrow to figure out some things. I know finding a RN position in NYC is difficult without COVID so I know...
Hey! I am in currently in a similar situation. I will have 2 years of RN experience as of Dec. I have over a year in cardiac step-down and telemetry. I've applied to 138 jobs with NYC hospitals in the...
CardiTeleRN replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in Nursing Career
Thanks for replying! I do have a BSN, and you're definitely right. COVID most likely has people weary. I just don't appreciate them still posting jobs LOL. I guess I'll just have to wait
Hello!
A couple of hospitals I've worked for have gone from cardiac step down to cardiac medicine which usually boils down to med sure with some basic level of cardiac patients (CHF exac, Fluid...
