    NurseFairy replied to I_See_You_RN's topic in New York Nursing

  11. HELP ME PLEASE!

    NurseFairy replied to elnkb's topic in New York Nursing

    Most, if not all, LTC facilities in NY only have RN's working in a supervisory position because of the salary we get. Even if you found a place to hire you, a supervisory position is not a good...

  12. new grad offered nurse manager position

    NurseFairy replied to aye125RN's topic in New York Nursing

    There's a few things to think about here. 1) there's not a nursing school around that prepares you for the real-world of nursing...you have to be trained on-the-job just to be a staff nurse...never...

  14. Graduate Nurses at New York Presbyterian

    NurseFairy replied to I_See_You_RN's topic in New York Nursing

    I agree it was rude...but the right thing to do would be (1) state in the job posting on your website that BSN is required...not preferred and (2) read a resume properly! You may want to try the NSLIJ...

  17. Problem with employment for new BSN graduate

    NurseFairy replied to immanuel11421's topic in New York Nursing

    It seem to me in my current job search that having a BSN with experience makes you more marketable than an ASN/ADN with experience. However, for new grads it seems it doesn't matter right now which...

    NurseFairy replied to NursingStudent10's topic in New York Nursing

    The RN-to-BSN program is not accredited yet but they are supposed to be within the year. I'm not sure how much it matters since we're already RN's but it may make a difference when we pursue an MSN...

    NurseFairy replied to amadime1's topic in New York Nursing

    NurseFairy replied to erin01's topic in New York Nursing

    I worked nights in an ICU for a little over 1 year. I hated it. Partly because of the nurses on that shift and partly because you always needed your first day off to recover if you wanted to resume...

    NurseFairy replied to erin01's topic in New York Nursing

    Perhaps you could apply for an ICU Fellowship. I know North Shore/LIJ has one and I believe other hospitals do as well. If that's the field you would like to work in, it's worth checking them out....
