Having two different jobs in the same year will NOT constitute 2 years of experience. It will simply be recognized as having worked in two different areas of specialty. If you can handle working 4-6 days of the week and enjoy the two salaries, why n...

Negative. Not only are you wrong in your presumptions, you're essentially dead wrong. Regardless of ****** overlooking all 4 institutions (Cornell, Columbia, Allen and Morgan Stanley Children's Hosp), Columbia has been known, for many years, to be t...

It largely depends upon which hospital within NYP you apply to. For instance, if you apply to Columbia Presbyterian (Uptown Manhattan) with only an associates, you could get hired if you do well with the interview. On the other hand, if you apply to ...

Has anyone taken their exam recently? Do any of you have some good pointers to study for their pharmacology exam? Do you remember what types of questions were on it? Is there anything that you would have done differently to study for it when lo...

How difficult is it to get an interview with the recruiter? Many people say that the best thing to do is just show up and wait for the recruiter to see you, others say to just email and/or fax your resume, what's your take? Also, does anyone know wh...

That is correct. I have been working at NY Presbyterian for 4 years and have recently tried to get a fellow girlfriend a job there, but, as per the recruiter, they will not take any ADN nurses, especially without any experience. Let me be clear, whil...

Brethren of the scrubs, Im looking to buy a stethoscope & a sphygmomanometer, preferably a Littmann and any cuff brand would do. Any suggestions for good places to find these in Manhattan? Thanks, Nurse212

I worked at HSS a few years ago. For those that care, here are the Pros vs. Cons.. PROS: It's a very well organized hospital. You have brand new equipment. The place is always clean. The fellow staff nurses tend to be friendly and most are ver...

What hospital do you work for?

noni, how did it go with nypresbyterian? 212

Thank you very much for the book information. I'm figuring that with 1-2 weeks of time for study, I can probably go ahead and read the entire book while answering all questions within the chapters and then, towards the end, just knock out all of the...

Problem is, I've heard from 3 reliable sources that the Pharm exam they give at Columbia Pres (Uptown) is completely different from the one they give at Cornell Pres (Downtown). I mean, we are talking polar opposites here... Still, I'd like to know ...

Also, OR if you have AIM, feel free to send me a message at: NYnursing I'm online.

OR, What book did they recommend for study? Also, all they did was recommend a book for study? Did they not even provide you with an outline or study sheet to breakdown the meds? While we all know that the calculations portions of the exam is a bree...

Haven't heard anything from anyone as of yet... Check your PM's

I was just talking to a new hire at my hospital (NYU) and she recently left Lenox Hill Hospital and word from her along with a few others that came from there is that they are planning to shut down. Have others heard anything along these lines? Why ...

That statement above is completely untrue. Although I have a BSN degree, I can tell you that an ADN nurse makes the same if not just 1K less than a BSN nurse in 99% of all hospitals if and when they are both new grads starting. If you are an ADN nur...

Last I heard from a few per diem nurses that do work for us at NYU and at Lenox is that Lenox Hill is going to start laying off nurses after the new year.. 212

Which union do the Lenox Hill nurses belong to? 212

You know, I was thinking about this thread today while at work. Two of your Cardiologists have come over to NYU Hospital, one a female and the other a male. Are they abandoning ship before it sinks? 212

That's pathetic. So what's with all the talk of them being a Park Avenue hospital with all the luxuries of a top private institution? 212

Any veterans who took nursing 112 at BMCC care to chime in and recommend what is the best way to study for the exams that will be administered? I heard that critical thinking is crucial, but can anyone mention some good text or resource to use for s...

Littmann® Soft Touch Cardiology STC Stethoscope. I was thinking of upgrading from my Littmann Cardiology III Stethoscope to this bad boy after seeing a few of the NP's showboating with it and boasting about the remarkable acoustics. Anyone here ta...
