  1. Nurses Deserve More Respect!

    Guest27531 replied to natasharostova's topic in General Nursing

    The nurses definitely have a puzzle to solve but I hear you thinking about the person ("because I'm with the patient longer") and you seem to be interested in hearing more of the person's story. For...

  2. New Grads - some good news for jobs in NYC area

    Guest27531 replied to Guest27531's topic in New York Nursing

    The nurses who have already been oriented at Beth Israel may be from their own school... The purpose of my post today was to list the employers who specifically advertised themselves at the job fair...

  3. New Grads - some good news for jobs in NYC area

    Guest27531 replied to Guest27531's topic in New York Nursing

    Yes to all of your observations...but if we want a particular job we need to keep trying (whether we are experienced or not)...also, keep in mind that Beth Israel has their own school of nursing (in...

  4. New Grads - some good news for jobs in NYC area

    Guest27531 replied to Guest27531's topic in New York Nursing

    This was specifically a nursing job fair sponsored by Advance for Nurses (one of the local magazines). The magazine is available for free to anyone who wants it and the job fair was advertised there....

  5. New Grads - some good news for jobs in NYC area

    Guest27531 replied to Guest27531's topic in New York Nursing

  6. Nurses Deserve More Respect!

    Guest27531 replied to natasharostova's topic in General Nursing

    A technician friend of mine once asked me to help her decide whether she should go back to school to be an MD (or PA alternate if medical school was not possible) or a nurse (RN or NP). It actually...

  7. Interview @ MD office

    Guest27531 replied to pistolchick's topic in General Nursing

    You will likely be asked why you want to work in an outpatient office, about your clinical skills, about your experience related to the work you will be doing in the office (physical exams?...

  8. Interview @ MD office

    Guest27531 replied to pistolchick's topic in General Nursing

    That is exactly what I thought when I read this post. I suggest the original poster recognize that an analogy with the fast food industry is misplaced when wearing the "hat" of a nurse. It may...

  9. Is this fair to ask of a new RN?

    Guest27531 replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm so sorry. I wish I could help you. For the moment, I would say to use the tips provided that you think will help you and stick it out as long as you can so you will have "put in your time" and...

  10. New Grad RN CAN'T FIND WORK!! What should I do?

    Guest27531 replied to Aubrey88RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I just found a job for Junior Public Health Nurse (School Nurse) with the NYC Dept of Health. Here is the link to the page on which I saw it. Give it a try and see what you think....

  11. New Grad RN CAN'T FIND WORK!! What should I do?

    Guest27531 replied to Aubrey88RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Where do you two live? I have seen listings on the NYC Health Department Web site that talk about a nurse internship program. It is certainly not what you are looking for but it may fill a need at...

  12. Can someone hold both a CRNA and MD license?

    Guest27531 replied to anesthes4's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Believe me, if you are going to become a CRNA, there is nothing you have already taken that will go to waste. It is an extremely demanding program. You will not need or want to be a PA after that....

  13. Thinking about applying for Oncology position??

    Guest27531 replied to 2bTraumaRN2008's topic in General Nursing

    Excellent! The only other thing I was going to say is "Hurry, before someone else gets the spot." Sounds like you are on top of

    Guest27531 replied to anesthes4's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Are you about to graduate from a CRNA program or an RN program? The two specialties you have described (CRNA and pediatric neurologist) are completely different and, if you are just starting your...

  17. ADN to BSN or Traditional BSN

    Guest27531 replied to Kpompa238's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I graduated in 1981 from a diploma program and, even then, there was talk of "BSN entry level". The diploma programs did phase out but I see the Associate Degree programs are very strong and it...

  18. ADN to BSN or Traditional BSN

    Guest27531 replied to Kpompa238's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    That's a good point. There are lots of RN to MSN programs now that include the BSN along the way. That would be a great choice because the future is

  19. ADN to BSN or Traditional BSN

    Guest27531 replied to Kpompa238's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Finish what you have started but be clear that you need to get your BSN ASAP. You may actually be better off where you are because many undergrad BSN programs are very difficult (if not impossible)...

  20. Changing specialization suggestions appricated.

    Guest27531 replied to KalipsoRed's topic in General Nursing

    Home care will allow you to: 1. do lots of teaching 2. put your patient as a priority with paperwork secondary 3. take care of

    Guest27531 replied to Ckwil1948's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry to hear about your difficult situation. I know that the job market for nurses is great for some and terrible for others. In NY experienced nurses are being hired while new grads are...

  24. Failed ADN program, now trying for BSN

    Guest27531 replied to blessed2bfree's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Yes, I'm absolutely certain you can... Have you tried Excelsior? It is not "online"... although it is an external degree program. If you haven't looked into it give it a try. One other point - Are...

  25. With jobs in such short supply should I still get my RN?

    Guest27531 replied to combatmedicmandy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Go for it! There is a huge number of RNs (such as myself) just on the edge of retirement. By the time you have completed your program I suspect there will be plenty of
