  1. New York Presbyterian PHARM EXAM!

    ExpatHopeful replied to janetrette's topic in New York Nursing

    Your pharm exam is not scheduled until after you get a job offer at NYP, so don't worry about it yet. When/if you get an offer they will give you a sample test and information on how to study for it...

  2. Nursing equivalent to NVQ ?

    ExpatHopeful replied to Prashna neupane's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed, NVQ is not used in the US at all. It is used in the UK. Whether you are trying to work in the US or UK you will probably need to show transcripts from your school to the national or state...

  3. Think I have a shot at an ICU job coming out of my program?

    ExpatHopeful replied to NursingStudentEMT's topic in New York Nursing

    NYP does not hire new grads to ICU or ER as far as I know fyi. They do hire new grads to their many step down units though, which would give you acute care

  4. Think I have a shot at an ICU job coming out of my program?

    ExpatHopeful replied to NursingStudentEMT's topic in New York Nursing

    From what I understand very few hospitals hire new grads to their ICUs in NYC - NYU and LIJ do. Find out which other hospitals do and don't bother applying to the rest if that is the only job you're...

  5. Need Advice- Moving to NY

    ExpatHopeful replied to Maeve26's topic in New York Nursing

    I know of a few people who started out in peds as new grads but they were willing to wait until a peds job opened up so it was a longer search for them. It depends on how much it means to you to start...

  6. NYP

    ExpatHopeful replied to tigerlily345's topic in New York Nursing

    They were all really nice and not all of it was questions, they have information to give you too. I interviewed for Cornell, but I think (not 100% on this) that it's just one HR office for both...

    ExpatHopeful replied to Maeve26's topic in New York Nursing

    ExpatHopeful replied to tigerlily345's topic in New York Nursing

  9. Need Advice- Moving to NY

    ExpatHopeful replied to Maeve26's topic in New York Nursing

    The job market for new grads in NYC is tough. You can certainly start applying before you take your NCLEX, but most places will wait until you pass to really look at you and you will certainly need to...

  10. is there hope for me to be accepted at NYU?

    ExpatHopeful replied to hopefulnyunurse's topic in New York Nursing

    NYU medical center claims to require a B or better in all nursing and science prereqs fyi. They also have a 3.5 gpa cut off for new grad hires. I am sure that there are great jobs to be had for RNs...

  12. NYU's favorite schools for prereqs

    ExpatHopeful replied to Opera2Nursing's topic in New York Nursing

    I think you really have to look at each geographical area as it's own market. Parts of the country are great for new grads and others are pretty dismal. I can't say whether there is a nursing shortage...

  13. is there hope for me to be accepted at NYU?

    ExpatHopeful replied to hopefulnyunurse's topic in New York Nursing

    I wouldn't be too concerned about your overall gpa but the D in A&P will not be okay. I would call the office of admissions and discuss it with them. I'm 95% sure they will want you to repeat...

  14. Help with the Accelerated BSN! Many thanks

    ExpatHopeful replied to Isabel2004's topic in New York Nursing

    Paid work is fine too. Programs just like to see that you have been exposed the medical environment and are committed to nursing as a career. A medical secretary position is great and will give a leg...

  15. Pre Reqs for Accelerated Nursing programs

    ExpatHopeful replied to Yesenia_E's topic in New York Nursing

    Hi Yesenia, Nursing programs at community colleges will also have prerequisites. Each school will require different prereqs so you'll have to look at each school's website to figure out which you'll...

  17. Questions from a recent grad

    ExpatHopeful replied to JaimeAnne,RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    ExpatHopeful replied to 3sia's topic in New York Nursing

  21. Phone screening

    ExpatHopeful replied to senseiRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Keep your chin up Sensei. I don't think their saying they'll email you is a definite no. Every institution does things differently, right? I had a phone interview where they emailed me a personality...

    ExpatHopeful replied to NCRN2010's topic in General Nursing

    I second Casi. I have seen swabs dampened with sterile saline before collection, for instance when the area being swabbed was quite dry (like an armpit or nose for MRSA), but it was sterile!You should...
