Thx for the reply. I'm very curious about the pros and cons. I don't know about the payscale yet.

I just applied at dialysis at sea cruise ship as a RN. Has anyone worked there before and know the good and bad points. I am afraid is someone going on the cruise with a completely clotted access, I wonder what is the Cruise Ship protocol. The job sound exciting, I wanted to try it out for a month or so.

I live in New York, and I'm planning to move to Charlotte Next Year. I only have 1 yr experience in Dialysis. I'll take any assignment in NC Hospital. So $20 to $22 is the average pay with no exerience? I'm already applied for a NC License.

I understand what your saying but like I mention before, that someone left my job and move to Texas and she kept the same pay rate. Even Goverment jobs, such as Post Office let people relocate from NY and still keep there NY salarie. I'm just hoping its the same for NC.

Thank You very much, I'm hoping they let me keep the same salarie.

Hello Everyone I work for FMC in Queens NY, however I know the salaries in NC are much lower in New York. Will FMC allow me to keep my FMC salarie. There was a PCT who move to Texas and she kept her same pay. I hope they do the same for me. I won't move until the end of the year. Does anyone know? BigBoy

I feel NYP is all about connections. I applied about 15 times over a period over a year and I recieve the generic reject letter. About a year ago a friend applied for a job at NYP, she had a very nice cover letter and a resume that said she had 20 years experience. We applied for the same job at the same time, she recieve the same rejection letter stating there looking for someone with more experience.

Someone wrote they were rejected hired because they don't have a BSN. I just want to let you know that BSN are not being hire. Most New Grads that are being hired have some kind of connection. It doesn't matter if your a ADN or BSN, there are no New Grads being hired without connection. Just ask BSN New Grads at Molloy, LIU, etc., most of all there classmates are not being hire. I'm in my third week at a hospital, there were 15 new grads in March and 10 hired with me in April. Only 2 have there BSN, but everyone but me had a connection. I hate to say it but is not what you know but who you know.

If you think back when ADN nurses had problems getting hired, it was when the economy went down. Before that ADNs and BSN did not have a problem getting hired. But because there is a shortage, now hospital can be picky, and with so many unemployed new grads, they can knock out have of resumes just by selecting BSN only. BSN graduates are more qualify, but we're all in the same boat. Also there are tons of new grads BSN can't find employment, so that is not a guarantee. Whoever completed a ADN program should not feel less of a nurse. We all went through HELL to get that degree.

I think they will bump you up to a RN. I just got hired at a hospital, everyone got in by knowing someone in management except me. There on person who was a CNA and now became a nurse. We"re in our 1st week of orientation, and every educator during our orientation praises him and encourage all of us to follow his example and continue to go to school. Also its 6 new grads, they creating a position for all of us. They still don't know where to put us, so I'm sure they'll create a position for you. Also everyone who graduated with me who has your circumstances were all bump up to RN at there hospital.

I agree with RN79sunshine list of what is going on in NYC. Many of us is getting off our Butts and looking for work. But most new grads who found jobs does have a connection. Most of the people who say get off your Butts are experience RNs who have a job and critiquing ADNs who can't find work. I just got a jobin a hospital, everyone there had a connection. I'm the only person there who did not have a connection, but somehow I won her over on a interview and she created a position for me. Now since other hospital are closing, many Nurse recruiters will hire them 1st. But I think everything will turn around. But now, get into a clinic, dialysis center, until things get better.

The orientation phase is just getting you familliar with uploading and downloading files, using the online library, and getting you familliar with the APA Format which is a huge part of the program.

Thank so much for the insight on the Program. I'm currently in the orientation phase and I'm looking forward towards the Nursing courses. I like the part that you can go at your own pace. By the Summer they will be fully accredited.

I was accepted to Suny Delhi and I'll start March, is anyone else in the program or will be starting in March. I work full time and wonder how demanding the program is?

I have a interview this week in LIJ, there opening a brand new Dept. called Subacute Care. But I don't know what this Dept. is about. I want to say the right thing on the interview. Does anyone know what is this Dept. is about? Is this a Dept. that is open 24hr a day or is it like a clinic? Also is there a posting for what to say and not to say on interview? I know what to say when they ask, What is your Weaknesses. But I don't know what to say exactly where do you see yourself in 5 yrs, and WHY DO YOU WANT TO WORK HERE? Thank you for any input.
