  1. Is it me (with no experience) or the NYC job market still sucks?

    Gentleman_nurse replied to CP1983's topic in New York Nursing

    It was a recruiter from NYU Hospital. NYU has a RN-BSN program. I want to hope it's due only to screen out people. The cynic in me believes it's for a more sinister

  2. Is it me (with no experience) or the NYC job market still sucks?

    Gentleman_nurse replied to CP1983's topic in New York Nursing

    It's also causing elitism in nursing. We already see ADN vs BSN. I had one recruiter say she distinguishes a RN-BSN vs. Someone who did a straight 4 year BSN program. I can see Magnet vs Non-Magnet...

  3. How do schools know if the student is getting good clinical experience

    Gentleman_nurse replied to Gentleman_nurse's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Gentleman_nurse replied to Gentleman_nurse's topic in Connecticut Nursing

  5. Minimum level of experience for FNP

    Gentleman_nurse replied to grumpygorillaface's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Groan... Without a long term research study, there will never be a clear answer on this issue. Everybody is going to have an opinion. With that being said, I talked to about 20 nurse practitioners...

  7. Online Rn to Bsn as schools as good as brick and mortar?

    Gentleman_nurse replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yes. I had it told to my face by a recruiter from NYU Langone university hospital at a job fair. Ironic since NYU has a RN-BSN

  8. Any Former Veterans?

    Gentleman_nurse replied to stratus93's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Was a medic with Air Force Reserve 20 years ago. Great training but my reserve unit was not serious making sure medics kept up their skills. You might be interested to know that all military medics...

  9. Doctor Anyone?

    Gentleman_nurse replied to Ant24's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I took gross anatomy at a medical school. That eliminated any desire to be a physician. It's not the formal education but the culture. Medicine prioritizes the science. Nursing prioritizes the...

  10. Anti-Intellectualism in Nursing

    Gentleman_nurse replied to fakenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Information overload and anxiety. Symptom of being the new person. Also some people are not auditory learners. Your specific workcenter should consider creating a written document to go along with...

  11. Anti-Intellectualism in Nursing

    Gentleman_nurse replied to fakenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    But what if I get hired into a small community hospital where my desire to participate in research and get certifications (like CCRN) and teach patients and the community is seen as a nuisance? Less...

  12. Online Rn to Bsn as schools as good as brick and mortar?

    Gentleman_nurse replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Here is what's going to happen if you build your career around pleasing future employers and not your professional competence: HR: "You don't have the BSN." You get the BSN HR: "You don't have...

  13. Blacklisted by your Nursing School?

  15. Is it me (with no experience) or the NYC job market still sucks?

    Gentleman_nurse replied to CP1983's topic in New York Nursing

    No it's not you. The job market stinks. So many nursing schools. So many nurses relocating to NYC. So many hospitals extremely picky. Don't beat yourself

  16. Online Rn to Bsn as schools as good as brick and mortar?

    Gentleman_nurse replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Smartnurse Those nursing recruiters you heard about are discriminating against online schools to screen out resumes not because of the quality of education. I had a recruiter tell me they favor BSN...

  17. Just a rant rn-bsn

    Gentleman_nurse replied to ChipNurse's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Actually tuition inflation is a real issue. Fast

  18. Online Rn to Bsn as schools as good as brick and mortar?

    Gentleman_nurse replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Smartnurse, What good is investing your time, energy, and money to attend a school that is perceived in the eyes of others to be good but doesn't teach you anything or worse you never graduate because...

    Gentleman_nurse replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Choose the education institution that best meets your learning needs. No school is perfect. Outsiders are going to criticize

  21. Is HR Lying To Me?

    Gentleman_nurse replied to Colleen2515's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    From what you wrote, it stinks. There might be a back-story why your friend got an offer and you didn't. Could be as frivolous as the manager and friend had the same birthday or played trombone in...

  22. New grad dilemma

    Gentleman_nurse replied to Newgrad1991's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    If the workplace is reputable, you are going to be trained. It doesn't matter if you are a new grad or experienced. They will train you. If you transfer from a different unit, they will train you....

  23. What can ADN nurses achieve with a BSN other than accumulating more debts?

    Gentleman_nurse replied to elpnla's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    1. A nurse with a BSN education nurse can achieve more than a nurse with an Associates education. 2. There is no significant difference between a nurse with BSN degree and a Associates degree. 3....
