In this day and age of nursing shortage especially in the melting pot of New York City why on earth are none of these hospital seeking ADN- RN to help fill their nursing shortage staffing? Please offer your opinions or advice even frustration!! :idea...

:uhoh21: just in time for nurse's week new york methodist hospital has just "eliminated" 33 registered professional nurses from their position effective immediately. all due to "immediate budget reductions!" according to the vp of nursing this was u...

First off congratulations on graduating from nursing school! That is an accomplishment in itself, relish in it for a minute. Focus on taking your boards and passing them. It takes one less thing to obess over when starting a new job. Although ther...

:typing I was wondering if anyone knows about St. Lukes- Roosevelt Hospital, Beth Isreal, and St. Vincents Hospitals in NYC also with the city lifting their hire freeze what is their base and night differential? Thanks any info will do!!

:nuke: So I guess your starting or started at HFCN? Well congrats feel free to send me a private message so I can give you more personal experience. :chuckle Remember don't let anyone paint your reality!!:wink2:

As an alumni of HFCN I will say this, it's not easy but what nursing program is easy? What you put into nursing school is what you get out. The semesters are more like quarters lasting 10 weeks, so there are exams every other week after your first ...

From what I hear NYM was aware that their decline of patients was consistent even before this group of 33 strong RN's were hired. They took a gamble hoping the census would pick up again...it didn't since they were not in a union they were able to l...

They were only working their about 6 weeks

ABSOULUTELY NURSES EAT THEIR YOUNG! Although not all nurses eat their young, I have personally seen senior staff nurses belittle, speak in a condensending tone and even make some new/ young nurses cry! Common sense to anyone would say "I was once w...

This has not hit the media or papers yet. Hopefully it will! I personally know some of the nurses in that orientation class. You can always call their main line in HR to confirm.

Oh yeah FYI... As a warning when interviewing one of the questions to ask is the institution your applying to in the red or black? Are they financial stable? How has the census been in the last quarter? Will there be any predictions of layoffs or ...

TriniChick, I would check with the RN school that your thinking of applying to and see what their requirments are and what they will accept from other programs. Compare the requirements for your LPN & RN programs so you can cancel out some classe...

Congrats on your fellowship!:yeah: I know someone that was trying to get into that program. Good luck and please keep us posted billythekid

There is a nursing fair in Melvie, LI on March 13 go to nursing spectrum website for details. Have you consisder Brooklyn? Do you have a particular area of ICU maybe consider the step down unit to the ICU to get your foot in the door and then trans...

No as far as I'm aware of. You can work as a graduate nurse under a permit from the hospital you will be working for. The hospital applies for the permit that is issued by New York State. Most people interview during their last weeks of school to...

Can anyone shed any insight on the RN to BSN program at NYU? I went to their open house in Jan but it was more tailored to people pursing their second BS. Greatly appreciate any information. Thanks

YES, I did work there and depending on what deparment/ unit your on you will hear more grumbling from staff from the support staff, nurses and management. After your hired some managers you bearly see unless it's something major! :icon_rollThe hospit...

Congrats on your new position and good luck. Keep us posted on how it goes!

I did my clinicals at Montifore (Bronx) and Mt. Sinai and the nurses, aids, and the managers all appeared to be happy working on their units. Everyone supported and was accepting of nursing students. For the most part I think all the hospitals are ...

I was wondering if you looked at New York Methodist in Park Slope? Have any of the interviews you went on were sucessful? Any information on St. Lukes- Roosevelt, open house or walk in? I welcome any assistance as I am still on the grind!!

Thank you for this information. I recently interviewed at NYMH after looking at several upper east side hospitals and I must say you have sold me on NYMH! Support all around is key especially when it comes to heavy patient nurse ratio. I was wonde...

I was wondering if anyone if familiar with New York Methodist Hospital in Brooklyn, I would like to know their base(salary) with night differential for new grads?:grad: Thanks

Well I'm so pleased that I am getting so many response, and I thank you all for your advice. I have something set up at Methodist this week. There are some open houses which is where I will sell myself, resume and knowledge not to mention my clinic...

I have applied to Mt.Sinai, MSK, Lenox Hill. I was informed that the norm is 3-6 months to actually get a job so by those standards I'm doing good. I'm not even a month into my search. I thought this would be faster afterall there is a shortage!!
