I relocated from NY to FL almost a year. Thankfully, I had a telecommuting position and was able to take my NY salary with me. Florida is expensive, especially South Florida. I don't love my job but it pays the bills. I have been looking at possibly ...

I'm just curious as to whether or not its at all feasible to work a 8-4/ 9-5 while enrolled in an NP program. I was initially accepted to the online program at South University but had to decline when I realized if I kept my current position there wa...

Thank you for your response. That was my biggest concern besides the cost being able to complete those hours on weekends only. I suppose urgent care centers may also be used to fulfill that requirement as well. I will also look into applying to Kapla...

WHOA!! This is exactly why I'm debating if I should even other getting my NP. I recently relocated from NY to FL and while I have a "cushy" position so to speak making 86K working from home I sometimes feel like I need to have a back up. The RN salar...

I am also interested in pursing the dual MSN/MPH degree. I'm not finding many available programs though (at least not affordable ones) in an online format.

Laflaca, did you have any prior public health experience prior to obtaining this job. I have always had an interest in public health especially after meeting a retired nurse who worked for the UN and traveled all over Africa providing care. She was a...

The pay rates still don't really measure up. The cost of living really isn't that much less from what I'm seeing. Only thing you save on down here is housing and that only depends on where you decide to purchase a home. I've found that there are some...

Hoping for the best and better times in florida

I so despise that phrase, "but you get paid in sunshine." I don't know but the last time I checked sunshine doesn't pay the bills. It really and truly is a disgrace. I guess if I am ever forced to leave my current position I'll do travel nursing. I...

Hi, Does anyone out there work for metropolitan jewish health system in the capacity of homecare RN. If so, What has your experience been like with this company. I'm looking to make the switch from med-surg to homecare. Any insight would be greatly a...

Hi, is there anyone out there who works or has worked for Emblem Health as a case manager in NY? What was/is your experience working for them? What is the salary range? How soon were you able to transition from office based CM to home based CM?

Caseload of about 60-65. Assigned to various facilities throughout boroughs. Cases referred via e-fax. You're expected to work 9-5. No weekends unless you volunteer to work on call. If you go past your shift its on you. I guess it depends on how good...

I only just started this past week. It depends on what aspect of CM you're in. I'll be in discharge planning sons little different from typical case management. Salary depends on experience but ask for what you want and they'll probably meet it. As f...

Thanks for your response. I'm glad to hear all that. I have my interview next week. Wish me luck.

What unit do u work? I was recently offered an ICU position there. I want to get some insight into what the working conditions are really like there before I make my decision and also can anyone tell me how is there ICU training?

Thanks for all the replies so far. I am in agreement with everyone. I don't really want to move because of the pay cut and Miami is just as expensive if not more expensive than NY from what I have seen just from visiting. It's really not cost effecti...

Hi all, My boyfriend was offered a job with a trucking company and one of the areas in which they place their workers is Miami. Placement is available in several other states as well. However, he's seriously considering the miami area as the pay is m...

Hi there, I just wanted to know whether or not you took the job at Bronx leb and if so what has your experience there been like? I was recently offered a job there for their ICU program. But I may have to hold off on it. I'm currently working at ...

Hi, Does anyone have any info on maimonides?I have an interview scheduled for July 3rd for their ventilator unit. Nurse patient ratio is suppose to be 1:4. Currently work on a geriatrics floor at NYHQ. Realize I'm not learning much. Pretty much li...

Thanks whoofers. that seems to be the general consensus i'm getting from a few people so far. nyhq isn't all it's cracked up to be. I think most people stay on my floor cuz it's not as heavy as the others and the nurse manager is very flexible. But I...

That's good to hear. Where I currently work. Nurses don't even do IVs. I swear I was doing more stuff in clinicals than now that I'm on the floor. Feel like I'm just pushing meds. No critical thinking and all that. I don't want to become a lazy nurse...

thanks for the replies so far. I appreciate it. It's supposedly a new unit. I don't even know if it's up and running yet. I just want to be somewhere where i'm gonna learn. I'm not learning anything really at NYHQ. Probably cuz of the floor that I'm ...

I work at New York Hospital Queens

I use to work at LIJ as a respiratory therapist. I heard awful things from a lot of the nurses who went thru the fellowship program. Majority of the people who started don't even manage to stay a full year. From what I understand the training is exce...

Hi all, I just want to do a cost of living comparison between NY and VA. What's the annual salary range for RNs in VA? I'm considering relocating, however the starting salary for RNs I've heard of so far is a huge turn off. In NY as a new grad on nig...
