  2. How much do new grad. nurses make in NY

    RNDreamer replied to flowrate's topic in New York Nursing

    People survive in NYC on much lower salaries than what RNs make. Unless one needs to live a lavish lifestyle, the salaries are pretty good to live

  5. which nursing speciality is at most risk for being sued?

    RNDreamer replied to chiuli's topic in General Nursing

  6. who do i have to sleep with to get a hospital job??

    RNDreamer replied to nurseyNJNYC's topic in New York Nursing

    Unless you ask for your nurse's transcript, you will NEVER know what kind of student s/he was. Also, the places that called me did not ask for my transcript. They did like the fact that I had my

    RNDreamer replied to orgo geek's topic in New York Nursing

    I know some NG Case Managers and they seem to enjoy their jobs. Sorry, I don't know the answers to your other questions. Take it, it's better than nothing at

  8. The Money is my motivation

    RNDreamer posted a topic in General Nursing

    I never thought I would say this so early in my career. I am a new grad working in an acute care setting. I haven't even reached my 6 month mark, let alone my one year mark. Today, I realized that I...

  9. The Money is my motivation

    RNDreamer replied to RNDreamer's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks to everyone who responded. I think my feelings are just a combo of things going on in my personal life, and feeling as though I haven't really met my goal career wise. I have a few off days...

    RNDreamer replied to RNDreamer's topic in General Nursing

    thanks for the post. my coworkers, docs, etc are amazing and are truly the reasons why i probably haven't walked away from this job. i have nothing bad to say about them. you have given me a lot to...

  11. The Money is my motivation

    RNDreamer replied to RNDreamer's topic in General Nursing

    It's the same with me. Those I know who are making twice as much as me as a NG don't enjoy their jobs or environments. I truly am lucky with regards to my unit's environment. And honestly, if I got...

  12. The Money is my motivation

    RNDreamer replied to RNDreamer's topic in General Nursing

  15. Memorial Sloan Kettering advice

    RNDreamer replied to NurseJackieO's topic in General Nursing

    As hard as it is for new nurses in NYC and in NJ to find jobs, (IMO) I think it's wise to just transfer into an RN position at your place of employment until you either get that year of experience or...

  16. Looooong narrative notes

    RNDreamer replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe it's the way they were taught. During my ICU senior preceptorship, my preceptor had me include things like such and such infusing at xmL/hr in my narratives, even though it was on the flow...

  21. Is nursing the way to go?

    RNDreamer replied to live.love.laugh's topic in General Students

    If you cannot imagine yourself in any other career, then pursue Nursing. Just be prepared that the economy may or may not get better by the time you graduate. Now is the time to start asking...

  22. Nobody is hiring anymore. Am I making a BIG mistake starting NS now?

    RNDreamer replied to Production6243's topic in Nursing Career

    It is not true that 'no one' is hiring. Places are still hiring, you just have to find them. They definitely aren't hiring new grads the way they used to, this is true. Now is the time to decide what...

  23. Do you ever get the feeling your professors are trying to weed you out?

    RNDreamer replied to mell260's topic in General Students

  24. Nurses,say you had the chance to choose another career,which one would you choose ?

    RNDreamer replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in General Nursing

    Too bad being a housewife doesn't pay enough for me. I would love to be home. During my senior preceptorship I worked with some PAs. I may look into that if Nursing doesn't work out for me. As a...

    RNDreamer replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    GuiltySins, I had to learn very early on NOT to worry about what other people are doing. You will make many new friends these four semesters and will be able to form study groups with people who are...
