I understand where you are coming from, I went through that too. I've been a nurse for 6 years and always wanted to work in l&d always applied and denied for the same reason, recently the hospital I work for offered and internship program for exp...

Your best bet if you want to work in a trauma hospital would be tampa general not sure about the pay, I work for baycare and I make just about what you are making in Detroit with 5 yrs experience and BSN.

@ chocolate_rn85 I recently moved from NYC to florida in January, it is true you do get paid less than New York but I still would not go back to New York to take care of 8 and 9 patients. Here where I work take care of 4 to 5 patients, before moving ...

Very little room to grow at the facility where I worked. The nurse turn over was crazy even people who where on orientation quit because the number of patients assigned where unsafe, management did not care etc.

I just moved from NYC to Florida. First off if you don't have a BSN you probably will not get hired, hospitals in New York won't wire you if you are in school for your BSN neither. Secondly the market is saturated in the city, I'm not saying its impo...

Try to stay away from the HCA hospitals. In the Tampa/st pete/ Clearwater areas you can apply to tampa general, baycare system, bayfront medical center or Florida hospitals. Good luck.

I worked there for nearly 3 years it was a good experience but the patient ratio is very high as a new grad that can be very overwelming to take care of 8 to 9 patients.

try the hospitals not nursing homes.

well in my case i work on a medsurge floor but they opened a surgical stepdown unit within the unit. it's a forbeded room where the 4 pt are hooked up to the cardiac monitor... we were trained to read all strips and we got refreshed on how to take ca...

im also a new grad, i started working in september and now im on my own on a medsurge floor which also has a surgical stepdown unit..... to be honest i hate it since i'm not interested in medsurge/critical care but i do believe it's valuble experienc...

you know this is all sad because the working class are the ones who always pay for the mistakes mannagement makes, and the even more depressing part is that they will still get their big salaries mean while they keep closing units and getting rid of ...

i work at NYM its a pretty good hospital to work for in my oppinion. most of the staff is very helpfull to the new nurses and they do their best to help them go though the transition of orientation to bein on our own. its no easy job there though bec...

talking about accreditation, is it true that LIU's nursing program in new york is on probation?

i'm really sorry to hear that you did not pass the nclex, but i have to tell you if you were able to pass nursing school then i'm sure you can pass the nclex.... my advice is to take a few days off to give your brain a break, and start over again.......

well i graduated in may my best advice is wait till you take and pass your nclex for the simple reason: when you go drop your resume off at the hospitals and they ask you if you took and passed the nclex and you answer them no, the will throw your re...

last summer i did an externship at methodist, i learned alot the nurses were great; the pay was 14.50 but well worth it because unlike many hospitals we did not have to work like CNA's ( not that theirs anything wrong with that) but we spent the day ...

things are not too good in nyc first the city hospitals are not hiring, 2nd st. lukes who belongs to beth israel's group are not hiring because long island college hospital closed their labor and delivery unit plus they laid off more nurses so they a...

you can also try Methodist hospital in brooklyn and maimonedes.

my advise to you if you want to go to nursing school, take all your pre reqs first why? because if you do all you will have to focus on is your nursing classes and you will have time to study and prepare ur self more for those classes, nursing school...

New York City College of Technology

wait! you forgot the question on Why a pt with gout should not drink slimfast? Oh i know how you feel sweet cheek, cuz i was in the same class!

it's better for you to take and pass the nclex and then go job hunting.... good luck!

You are burning your self out, it's good that you are studying everyday for the nclex but, please take a break go out and have some fun, relax and i'm sure everything is going to be OK:clown:

i have to agree with Jules A the sooner you take the test the better because everything is still fresh in ur mind. I thought the nclex was easy, easier than the exams i took in school, i did kaplan the 8 days setion in 2 weeks ( waist of time/money) ...

I agree with you 1000%, i graduated from an ADN program and i think it's more intense b/c we have to learn everything a BSN student learns in 4 years in 2yrs, we dont have a separet pharmacology class, we dont have a separet leadership or management ...
