    NYCRN16 replied to purpledrop's topic in Florida Nursing

  6. NYP ED Residency

    NYCRN16 replied to SrhElzbthRN's topic in New York Nursing

    It's not true that there is a regulation by the state that requires a year of experience before working in an ED. However, most hospitals are not hiring new grads into ED unless they have some sort of...

  7. I think I made terrible mistake.

    NYCRN16 replied to RN-Hospital's topic in New York Nursing

    I know it must be frustrating with the current job market the way it is, but honestly its better to not take this job if the working environment/management is bad then to wait for something better...

    I don't think anyone here is saying that you shouldn't move here, but its important to have a serious plan before showing up in NYC. I don't know of anywhere besides nursing homes that are hiring new...

    NYCRN16 replied to RRB2223's topic in New York Nursing

    Being that you are looking to work psych, it may not be as difficult to find a position, but the competition here is still fierce. The other thing that you have to keep in mind is that it is VERY...

    NYCRN16 replied to Pudnluv's topic in Florida Nursing

    NYCRN16 replied to Pudnluv's topic in Florida Nursing

    Kiwi, it seems that we have a lot in common, if we both make it to Cocoa Beach we should meet up! Since you are in Miami now, could I ask about your experiences there as far as working there? What is...

  19. Fired from my first job today......Feeling like a failure.

    NYCRN16 replied to HeatherGurl84's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm so sorry this is happening to you! Now you know how nasty these people are, they did you a favor getting out of that place. As far as facebook goes, I don't see anything wrong with posting work...

  20. should an ADN new grad bother applying to new grad program if it says BSN preferred?

    NYCRN16 replied to janice_c67's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would definitely apply. If the position said BSN "Required" than I wouldn't bother, but since it doesn't you have nothing to lose except if you don't try. The worst that can happen is you don't hear...

    NYCRN16 replied to SjoeRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Don't go anywhere yet. Nursing is a small world, and if you leave the first job hanging, it will make you look bad. Stay your year and then if you still want to leave then go. Besides, you are only...
