  3. What are my chances of getting an RN job in NYC?

    JeanettePNP replied to zolow's topic in New York Nursing

    Maybe not what you want to hear, but the job market for new RN's is much better in NC than it is in NYC. Maybe consider staying put for a year or two until you have some experience, and then make the...

  4. Volunteering = Experience?

    JeanettePNP replied to bkgibsonv's topic in New York Nursing

    Any relevant healthcare experience should be mentioned on a resume, and let the employer decide how much weight to give it. It won't count as "nursing" experience but it's sure better than nothing at...

  5. CPR card question

    JeanettePNP replied to brokenroads27's topic in General Students

    For nursing school they're looking specifically for CPR certification. My course didn't cover basic first aid (like how to stop bleeding, burn care, etc). It's not really covered in nursing school...

  6. New Grad RN CAN'T FIND WORK!! What should I do?

    JeanettePNP replied to Aubrey88RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Three months isn't long at all. Congrats on the new job. And 50% of your class employed at the 3 month mark is pretty impressive as well. I don't think we've even reached 30% of the class that has a...

  7. Customizing your cover letters

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    As of right now, the hardest part of applying is coming up with a customized cover letter for each job. It involves: Tracking down the name of the nurse recruiter Finding out some info about the...

  8. New Grad RN CAN'T FIND WORK!! What should I do?

    JeanettePNP replied to Aubrey88RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't understand why I'm getting repeated rejections even from new grad programs. Yes, I understand if I'm up against experienced nurses, but what am I missing as a new grad? I had a great GPA, a...

  9. Why is Psych NP not as popular of a choice?

    JeanettePNP replied to rd290's topic in Psychiatric

    Is psych NP really in such great demand? I did a search for psych NP jobs in my area and there were very few

  10. Any info on Roanoke/Salem???

    JeanettePNP replied to heartrn123's topic in Virginia Nursing

    When did you apply, and when did they call you for an interview? Do you already have a VA

  11. Does Hunter / SUNY Downstate accept prerequisites taken from an online school?

    JeanettePNP replied to kensingtonbklyn's topic in New York Nursing

    I can't speak for Hunter, but Downstate is pretty liberal about accepting online credits as well as CLEPs for the non-science pre-reqs (English, sociology, psych, etc.) I don't know about the sciences...

  12. North-East Blizzard - Everyone Becareful Reporting and Leaving Duty

    JeanettePNP replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    ...and it's still a mess here in NYC. Streets still not plowed, city bus lines not running due to buses not able to get through the streets. There are over 1000 buses stranded throughout the city....

  13. Applying for new grad internships from out-of-state

    JeanettePNP replied to Nuages's topic in Texas Nursing

    I have applied to many out of state hospitals and have yet to get a call back (and I've followed up, made calls etc.) I don't want to pay to be licensed in many different states, since I only need one...

  14. Which unit to work on as new grad?

    JeanettePNP replied to Ilovethe80s's topic in First Year After Licensure

    IMO if you have an offer in the OR, take it, even if it isn't your first choice. Personally I'd prefer to start in med-surg because it's a good foundation for all areas of nursing, but I'll take...

  15. Does RN school get easier or harder as the semesters go on?

    JeanettePNP replied to rnintwo's topic in General Students

    It got easier only because the course load got lighter. During the first summer we took 21 credits!!! After that we had a much more manageable 12-13 credits per semester. The last semester was a...

  16. Have you ever worn scrubs off the job?

    JeanettePNP replied to Wanna_BA_Nurse's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I don't wear scrubs in public unless I have a coat over them. During the summer when I'm out without a coat I change in the hospital before going out in

  17. I need info on Scrub Skirts please!

    JeanettePNP replied to Nurse_mahoney's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I had a few classmates who wore only skirts. The school did not give any grief over it. In the OR, they wore disposable scrub pants with an OR gown over

  18. SUNY Downstate Job Placement Record

    JeanettePNP replied to tomall's topic in New York Nursing

    You're not going to get much advice/guidance/support for job seeking in Downstate. Six months post graduation, the job placement rate for Downstate August 2010 is about

  19. is Nursing School HARDER than Medical School?

    JeanettePNP replied to sunny d's topic in General Students

    I happen to think that while med school to nursing school is not a fair comparison, nursing school to pre-med is. I think someone with a BSN (who manages to work in all the med-school pre-reqs too)...

  20. is Nursing School HARDER than Medical School?

    JeanettePNP replied to sunny d's topic in General Students

    I honestly don't see how anyone can say with a straight face that nursing school is HARDER than medical school. Yes, I went to school with some nurses who probably could have handled medical school...

  21. For new grads looking for their first job

    JeanettePNP replied to tryharder's topic in General Nursing

    Hindsight is 20/20. I'm sure when I land my first job I'll be here crowing about all the right things that I did that everyone else should be doing if they are serious about getting a job

  22. New Grad RN CAN'T FIND WORK!! What should I do?

    JeanettePNP replied to Aubrey88RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    GPA of 3.85, top in the class, graduated August 2010, no work yet. People who have GPA's far below mine have found work. GPA has no relation to how quickly you find

  23. For new grads looking for their first job

    JeanettePNP replied to tryharder's topic in General Nursing

  24. For new grads looking for their first job

    JeanettePNP replied to tryharder's topic in General Nursing

    What is happening is that many people have to drastically modify what their hopes and expectations are for their first nursing job... with no guarantees that the first job they take will lead to their...

  25. Could employers judge people by their names?

    JeanettePNP replied to MsbossyRN's topic in Nursing Career

    I have an ethnic, hard to pronounce name. I wonder how that's affecting my job search. I'm not getting a lot of call-backs, but then neither are a lot of classmates with run-of-the-mill, vanilla...
