   NYCRN2 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Unfortunately today at work I got stuck with a SQ needle when a pt. suddenly moved while I was withdrawing the syringe. As you can well imagine I'm upset and worried. Although I saw no visable signs of blood and I was wearing gloves, I immediately w...

2. NCLEX and calculators

   NYCRN2 replied to bassbird's topic in General Nursing

   Yes there is indeed a drop down calculator for use during the NCLEX. I had two questions involving calculations. I had 75 questions and I passed, so don't be too concerned that you are doing poorly if you get a question that involves using the calcul...

3. nursing student needs advice

   NYCRN2 replied to manaAJ2's topic in General Nursing

   When I went on interviews here in NYC at large prestigeous teaching hospitals recruiters DID ASK about my GPA, awards, and honors, so I feel graduating with honors did help me in landing a great first job. It definitely makes you more competitive and...

5. Nursing Salaries

   NYCRN2 replied to jfpruitt's topic in General Nursing

   To DANRN Yes rents in NYC are probably pretty shocking to most people who don't live here, but I don't think the cost of living is that much higher than L.A.,San Fran, Chicago, or Boston. And yes you can easily pay $3000/month and up for a place, but...

6. Nursing Salaries

   NYCRN2 replied to jfpruitt's topic in General Nursing

   New grads here in NYC are starting at about $60,000/year, which is still not enough if you asked me considering the amount of responsibility and stress. It should be more like $75,000 atleast!

   I'm an ADN program grad. The differential for a BSN is $1,000/yr. However, there are several hospitals here that only hire BSN grads (Mt. Sinai, NYU, Columbia) I've already decided to start working on my BSN-MSN in a combined program for RN's on part...

    NYCRN2 replied to kiddoRN's topic in General Students

    My nursing class in an ADN program began with 56 students and we graduated 17 this past May. It's unfortunate, but not everyone is cut out to be an RN.
