    LisaTheNurse posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Hey Gals & Guys! I'm looking for a nursing program in the NYC area that can offer me the RN-BSN route with the least resistance. I'm currently working full time at a Manhattan Hospital and would...

    LisaTheNurse posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Hello all! I recently got called to set up an interview at Lenox Hill Hospital for next week. My only concern is that I've never been to the hospital and that I haven't heard much about it, only that...

  4. Anyone worked/works at Lenox Hill Hospital?

    LisaTheNurse replied to LisaTheNurse's topic in New York Nursing

    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...

  5. Rumor has it, Lenox Hill Hospital is CLOSING

    LisaTheNurse replied to Nurse212's topic in New York Nursing

    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...

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

    LisaTheNurse replied to salarany's topic in New York Nursing

    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...

  7. BMCC Evening Program

    LisaTheNurse replied to NurseDreamerNYC's topic in New York Nursing

    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

  8. Rumor has it, Lenox Hill Hospital is CLOSING

    LisaTheNurse replied to Nurse212's topic in New York Nursing

    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...

  9. Rumor has it, Lenox Hill Hospital is CLOSING

    LisaTheNurse replied to Nurse212's topic in New York Nursing

    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

  10. Rumor has it, Lenox Hill Hospital is CLOSING

    LisaTheNurse replied to Nurse212's topic in New York Nursing

    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...

  11. Rumor has it, Lenox Hill Hospital is CLOSING

    LisaTheNurse replied to Nurse212's topic in New York Nursing

    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...

  12. Rumor has it, Lenox Hill Hospital is CLOSING

    LisaTheNurse replied to Nurse212's topic in New York Nursing

    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...

  13. Rumor has it, Lenox Hill Hospital is CLOSING

    LisaTheNurse replied to Nurse212's topic in New York Nursing

    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...

  14. Rumor has it, Lenox Hill Hospital is CLOSING

    LisaTheNurse replied to Nurse212's topic in New York Nursing

    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...

  15. Rumor has it, Lenox Hill Hospital is CLOSING

    LisaTheNurse replied to Nurse212's topic in New York Nursing

    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...

    Hey everyone, I just graduated not too long ago from Queens Borough Community College with an ADN in nursing. While I had a great time learning about nursing, I didn't particularly like the fuss that...

  19. What's the easiest RN-BSN & MSN program in New York City

    LisaTheNurse replied to LisaTheNurse's topic in New York Nursing

    Hey Minstral, I don't mind doing an RN-BSN program online. If it's all just writing papers (boring but still effective way of learning), it beats having to show up to class 2-3 times a week to do the...
