Nursing home will be more like the hospital than homecare. Good luck to your friend.

Greetings. I was hired by an HHC Facility in early September. I am still waiting for them to call me to start orientation:cry:. I am really frustrated with them and the recruiter is no help:( . I'm only wondering if anyone knows if it's normal for a ...

I'm hearing this from different sources but don't personally know anyone who got hired. I spoke to the recruiter at Harlem and they are not hiring. Lincoln has not called me either. Has anyone heard that any city hospitals are hiring? Looking for a r...

Congrats on passing the interview! Since they had an immediate need for nurses, I did the physical the day of the interview and HR called me a few days after I was cleared medicallyy. The backround check takes 1-2 days to complete. I interviewed in ...

I was not in constant communication with them. They called me about 3-6 months after my interview to ask me if I was still interested and I said yes. They informed me that they still were still not allowed to process new applications. After months ha...

Update: Lincoln finally called me! I don't have a start-date yet but I'm waiting for HR to call me in for a backround check! A 15 month wait!

I hope experienced nurses will respond to your thread. I have about a year of LTC experience and will soon be going into a hospital; I have some of the same concerns you do. I am a native new yorker so I don't fear new yorkers. The populations you fa...

Tell me about it.

I'm thinking about doing Adelphi's ASCEND program for my BSN. So far all sounds well but I wonder if anyone has been through the program. I could use a little insight. Thanks.

Thanks for the heads up Mia :) I don't know if this one will be any better. But I know I know I'll be there. LOL. We have to keep trying no matter what.

I know guys. Let's hang in there. We need to have faith that the right position will come and the right time. Nursing shortage my rear. Apparently things will turn around because "they always do". Let's see when that happens.

What a bust it was. This fair was nothing like last year's. There were few hospitals and some of the ones represented had the nerve to tell people to apply online! Others were frank about not having any open positions.

Hi Melita. I didn't even realize the courses were offered in Manhattan. That's already a bonus. I have an appointment to see a counselor in November and will be submitting my application shortly since I would like to be considered for spring admissio...

I totally see your point. Wer'e human. I feel the same way at my job. Anyway, you will get a lot more responses if you post this on the general board.

Ladylash, did they give you a start date? Thanks everyone for your info.

I would contact an attorney and see what he/she has to say. This must be difficult for you.

It surprisingly takes time to get references. I had the same experience. Don't despair. What is the company you will be working with? For a new nurse home care is difficult because you don't have much experience to bring to the field and you may not...

Good. I wish you the best of luck!

Sorry to reply so late. Ditto to what everyone else has told you. It takes a lot to get into the program. You have to find out about every single class you will possibly need to make it into the nursing program and figure out a timeline. You must tak...

A couple of days ago I heard a rumor that HHC Facilities had lifted their hiring freeze and are beginning to call people in for orientation. Has anyone heard the like? Any truth to it? Thanks in advance.

Mine pays $32.90 to start. This is consistent with my other classmates' experiences.

Congrats Bklyn. This is a good sign for others as well. I wish you the best at Woodhull. Be confident RNJun-you will find something. It will just take time :)

That sounds interesting about Queens Hospital. It make sense to me.

Wow Bklyn. I guess we are sort of in the same boat. I was a new grad though and "hired" at Harlem in September. I was subsequently "hired" at Lincoln in November. Thankfully I ended up in nursing home in the interim. They have to lift the freeze one...

One of my coworkers just started at Interfaith in Brooklyn so some hospitals are hiring new grads. She did get a BSN though. I also got a call from Lincoln asking if I was still interested in the position because they may be processing applications s...
