Hi everyone! I just interviewed at an ER in NYC on friday and they unofficially offered me the job! My goal has always been to become an ER nurse and I really want to do it as a new grad. The hospital orientation is 6 months long with a preceptor and...

All in all, i'm an optimist. Egos shouldn't get in the way of patient care. An understatement of the year. My brother is a paramedic. He tested for his license the same week I tested for my RN. We both busted our butts through school and have always...

rumors... what a kill joy. I'm definetly relieved:uhoh3:

I am gleaning from your posts. Thank you all for responding and really offering advice that comes from experience... i think this community is a jewel. Well, I started orientation at this level II trauma center. I am extremely happy with the adminis...

That is awesome. Very encouraging to me as a new grad as well! Way to go!

1) Roper is downtown charleston and St francis is in west ashley. They are sister hospitals with the same policys ect. 2) CNA/PCA is the same. That position requires experience or your first semester of nursing school (fundamentals) which covers ADLs...

Why bennys? Ditto on the heat. I thought by moving away from SC to NY I would get some relief... WRONG.

I'm sorry about how frustrating this is. Even though I am a new grad and "should?" have some difficulty getting work, it still sucked. I applied to 9 hospitals (since june) and when it was all said and done, the one who gave me a call back and offere...

Yep. I like thin ankle socks so I definitely put a beating on them. When I show them to my husband he starts singing "another one bites the dust"

I did get my RN at Trident. I loved the program there and the instructors are phenomenal. CNAs get paid bt 8.75-9 bucks an hour in charleston. Duties are ADLs only! Cooking meals?! I hardly do that for my husband.. haha. Shifts are flexible. I worke...

I was at a camp in upstate new york for one week. Only 66 campers ages 8-18. Five ER visits! Broken arm, sprained knee, lacerated eyelid that needed stitches, head injury (nothing major after all, but the camper was so sore he couldn't move his neck!...

Hi there! I was a tech at Roper Hospital downtown. It was a great facility. On a good day I would have 6 patients. A bad day would be 10, but all in all the staff is great. I worked on a surgical step down floor. The hospital is in the middle of go...

How do you describe critical thinking and give an example when you applied it last. Seriously. I was asked that. Good luck! You will do great!

and that's all that matters

Hello~ I just graduated in April and I start orientation at a level II trauma center on the 10th. I am stoked about it! This is exactly where I want to be. I don't see why any new graduate should have to "suck it up" and do med-surg if that is not w...

Chloe, I was most definitely surprised to find out that all of the hospitals I interviewed for in NYC gave me a copy of their pharm study guide!! I'm from SC and I never heard of this practice.... Most places give two chances to make above an 80 a...

Hi Runa I was hired "officially" on this past Friday. I start my pre employment health screening and take my pharm test tomorrow. My official orientation day is September 10th. So, I guess 2 weeks? I know that Bronx Lebanon has two orientations a mon...

Congrats!!! :balloons:

Congrats Jenny! I am starting orientation on the 10th and I have my silly pre employment physical and pharm exam this Monday. I am really excited about finally working! What unit are you going to?

Hi loved I have been on the search for a while. I passed nclex on June 22 and just received an offer from Bronx Lebanon on last Firday. I started at all of the major teaching hospitals downtown Manhattan then finally just started working my way uptow...

Thank you all for replying to the post. I have found that it is the norm around NYC as well. Ive spoken with 2 other hospitals and thier ratios are b/t 6:1 - 8:1. I called the recruiter I interviewed with and left a message stating I had time over th...
