Hi, Are there any recent grads in this program now who can share their opinions and experience at NYU Med? I am graduating this DEC and am applying to the graduate nurse residency program for January. Is it really as fantastic as NYU Med makes it s...

Does anyone know where I can take a BCLS certification course in the NYC area? Thanks!

i am in orientation right now for home health after leaving icu. so far so good. the company i'm seems very modernized. they have pentablets for charting. i am very excited to see the patients. we'll see how it really goes once orientation is over. ...

i'm an icu nurse going into homecare. i took several months considering the job and finally decided to make the jump. will be starting next week. we'll see how it goes, but i hope it will be more flexible and family friendly.

nyp where i work pays a differential for bsn as well as certification in ccrn. they don't want to pay the diff but there are many now in nyc that do.

can you tell me what your typical day is like? how's the paperwork? wha t time are you usually home? do yu have to chart off hours alot? do you have to take the train to different stops alot? thanks so much for your help

yes hello? is there anyone out there? would love to hear about the experience working there. thanks!

oh man, these ratios are so dangerous for an inexperienced nurse. think of your new license cause the hospitals certainly wont! they just want to keep costs down. nurses on these kind of floors only have time to pass meds willy nilly. that is so dang...

the extra 1 grand?? is hardly worth it. most hospitals are starting 69k anyways, plus night diff. you need to think about how safe such a nurse to patient ratio is. we have to think about protecting our licenses as well. no wonder staffing is suffe...

Hi all, I am going to graduate in December and plan on moving to NYC. I was just wondering if there are any recent grads out there who can tell me about their experience with job hunting, negotiating compensation, etc. What are current starting sala...

it's my first job as a new grad and i'm still on orientation. i left gave a cup full of meds to a patient who assured me he would take them. i did not watch him take the meds. and turns out he didn't take them . i was in and out of their all day an...

Hi all, Does anyone out there work for Sloan-Kettering and have any words of wisdom? I'm considering work there on a med-surg type floor as a new nurse. I noticed that they are not yet very technological as far as giving meds and charting... Does th...

yes it's true they are STILL pen and paper. Worse, they are not on pyxis for meds or anything. seems to be that they are very outdated. one of the reasons why i opted not to work there. plus i'm not so sure that they have a pension plan... when i ...

hey there, i went to school for psychology originally and had a less than stellar gpa but i got all A's on my prerequisites. those are what the nursing programs really look at. so don't let your past keep you from going for something you really want...

hi, i just went through the same thing a couple of weeks ago. i interviewed with a panel of nine nurse managers for an ICU position at a large NYC hospital. it was expectedly very intimidating. but my advice is, be honest, sincere, and enthusiast...

hi, i just passed nclex last week and have so far been on two interviews. i'm kind of in the same boat as you as i'm trying to get a job asap. was hoping for some tips in the whole job search process as well... should i put that i am licensed in ny...

it doesn't seem totally infeasible that NYU is starting at 72K. I interviewed at Sloan-Kettering and am a new grad and was told they are starting at 70k plus 10% nights.

i am a new grad who will be interviewing for a similar position with the nurse manager. i would like to know if this is a good position to start in. what sort of skills does a BMT nurse require? what are the daily responsibilities of a nurse in this...

oh god! just took it today. feel like throwing up. it shut off at 75!!! so many pharm questions and check all that apply that i had no idea about!! how can I survive the wait???

i was just interviewed at Memorial Sloan Kettering where they are nonunion and are starting new grads at 70,000 plus 10% nights differential. question is, is this a good hospital to work at, especially for a new nurse?

thanks everyone for your encouraging words! i do need it. i'm still waiting for my ATT, so i'm just trying to focus on studying and researching hospitals. i did line up one interview so far. we'll see how that goes. i feel sheepish saying it, but ...

i know how you feel Lashawn. I'm an out of state applicant as well. I went to school in New Haven. I applied to NYU but it seems that they like to give preference to their own nursing students as I didn't even get called for an interview or anythin...

oh my... now i am a bit scared. i just graduated and am still waiting to take the NCLX. i just moved to NY. i had all sorts of job offers in CT where I went to school. I hope that I did not make a mistake by moving here. I am Dean's List student ...

okay... so far I have found two hospitals with graduate nurse programs. they do mass hires for certain times of the year and you do not have to be licensed. they will sign a permit for you while you wait to test. the two programs are NYU medical a...

NY state does have temporary permits that allow unlicensed individuals to work as graduate nurses until they are issued a state license... however only a couple hospitals seem to honor this. quite the different case here in CT where all my friends ...
