2. Anyone worked/works at Lenox Hill Hospital?

   LisaTheNurse replied to LisaTheNurse's topic in New York

   To all the newgrad RNs, I don't know if you folks read up on the financial situations of the NYC hospitals, but Lenox Hill is in dire financial shape. They are pretty much practically claiming bankruptcy and are desperately looking for another insti...

3. Rumor has it, Lenox Hill Hospital is CLOSING

   LisaTheNurse replied to Nurse212's topic in New York

   One of my friends that works on 9 Uris called me a few days ago and told me that her unit has been closed. The worst part of it all is that management does not let the nurses in on the true workings behind the scenes, instead they play a game of musi...

4. need to make life changing decision...any thoughts??

   LisaTheNurse replied to salarany's topic in New York

   It doesn't matter too much whether or not you have a ADN versus a BSN when it comes to getting a job at a hospital. I'll put it to you this way, every public/city (HHC) hospital in NYC will hire you with just an Associates degree and they pay pretty ...

5. BMCC Evening Program

   LisaTheNurse replied to NurseDreamerNYC's topic in New York

   Excellent way of putting it! The majority of degrees that you can get after only 4 years of study (or a B.S.) will not earn you the 75K that is now being earned by nurses with their license.

6. Rumor has it, Lenox Hill Hospital is CLOSING

   LisaTheNurse replied to Nurse212's topic in New York

   Well, not quite.. You see, every floor at Lenox is composed of 4 distinct units, broken up into the Lachman, East, Wollman and Uris wing. What is essentially going on from what most are saying is that the Wollman wing will be closing after January....

   LisaTheNurse replied to Nurse212's topic in New York

   It is terrible. I just hope that these new nurses can get a job elsewhere with the month or two of experience that they gained at Lenox.

8. Rumor has it, Lenox Hill Hospital is CLOSING

   LisaTheNurse replied to Nurse212's topic in New York

   That's the way it works at Lenox Hill. Don't feel too bad, at least you did not start the job to then find yourself getting laid off. I have been with the hospital for many years and one day I just showed up to do my night shift and to my surprise ...

9. Rumor has it, Lenox Hill Hospital is CLOSING

   LisaTheNurse replied to Nurse212's topic in New York

   The orthopedic floor won't close anytime soon, that brings in a lot of patients. The oncology unit on the 4th floor is a different story, it always has a low census and the talks have already started amongst the floaters with regards to it closing s...

10. Rumor has it, Lenox Hill Hospital is CLOSING

    LisaTheNurse replied to Nurse212's topic in New York

    We don't have the luxuries you speak of. I do Per Diem work for HHC hospitals and I can tell you truthfully that the HHC hospitals have the exact accommodations that we offer at Lenox Hill in my honest opinion. The rooms are pretty much identical....

11. Rumor has it, Lenox Hill Hospital is CLOSING

    LisaTheNurse replied to Nurse212's topic in New York

    Well, the way it works at Lenox is that they just don't shut down the entire hospital, but instead start off by shutting down units. You will first see one unit shut down from one day to the other and then, a few months later, another unit will be f...

12. Rumor has it, Lenox Hill Hospital is CLOSING

    LisaTheNurse replied to Nurse212's topic in New York

    They always send out someone to open up a stand/table at those job fairs, but it's really to save face and to make other hospitals believe that they are still in the running. Truth of the matter is that they are in a financial rut and are in serious...

13. Rumor has it, Lenox Hill Hospital is CLOSING

    LisaTheNurse replied to Nurse212's topic in New York

    The rumors might very well be true. I work at Lenox Hill on 3 Wollman and they just closed my unit 2 days ago. I showed up to work my regular night shift and found my entire unit empty with no patients, medcarts or anything and had to report to ano...
