Does anybody know anything about NYC hospitals giving a pharm test upon hiring new grads? I recently heard about them but don't know the details. What hospitals give them & can anyone recommend how to study for them? I'm kind of nervous... Thanks in advance to any replies

WOW! I can't thank you enough for all the info. & advice posted. It will really help me during my search for the right place to work. I see that all these choices is a good thing! I appreciate your help.

Thanks for the advice Kristi2377 & Cybercat. I will definitely consider it. It's just that the weather here is 90 degrees & HUMID & it's thrown my thinking off!

Thanks debRNo1 & Ebeza! I appreciate your input. I'm feeling overwhelmed by the whole idea of trying to find the right match for me. I just hope I find one, as I will be sending out my resume this week. Ebeza, congrats on taking the job... have you heard of there being less support for new grads at NYC hospitals? (I guess I'll find out as I go on interviews, right?)

Hello fellow New Yorkers . I too have a brand new license & am planning to work in NYC. I did not attend nursing school in NY, so I was wondering if anyone could share their experiences and opinions of the various city hospitals (either during rotations or employment), &/or whether living in NYC is possible on an RN's salary. Thanks for any input!

This may sound like a silly question...but, what did you guys wear to interviews? I haven't gone to any yet, but will be soon. Some nurses have told me that a suit is not necessary, and that a button-down oxford shirt & pants, or a nice dress is fine, especially during the summer. Does that mean a black pant-suit is overdressed? I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks.
