  2. Beware: this school pretty much accepts anyone. From what I've heard (and observed), I am surprised they've been able to maintain their accreditation. The graduate students are not adequately prepared...
  3. DISCLAIMER: No, I'm not a new graduate RN, but i'd like to give a shout out to those that are. Ok everyone, I need your help in determining what I should do in this scenario: Some time ago (Spring...

  6. PLEASE HELP: Psychotic Nurse Recruiter!!

    That's my consolation! If I can secure this position, I won't have to deal with her ever again! There's a separate nurse recruiter for internal applicants
  7. PLEASE HELP: Psychotic Nurse Recruiter!!

    Getting the job is only fair, right?! And the best revenge..... But I really do want this to work, because as much as I love ER, I need something else under my belt, and it has to be challenging,...

    Congratulations everyone! I'm going now to order those books!
  12. ED computer systems

    I went from Allscripts HMED 7.1, to Wellsoft (huh?), to Allscripts EDIS (HUH?). Three different facilities, the latter is my current place. The nurses here used to use HMED and then "upgraded (sorry,...
  13. Can anyone suggest a good EKG interp book?

    Funny/weird because his EKG book is written in such a way, that even a child could
  14. Do you need a BSN to work in NYC?

    You have experience as an NA, not a nurse, totally different, but it still might help you. Hospitals are still hiring ADN/ASN new grads, however, it's still slim pickings. The good thing is, it looks...
  15. In a nutshell, I started at a new hospital, and recently found out that they have day shift position available. I asked my manager about it and was told that because I'm on probation, I'm not eligible...
  16. Applying for day shift during probation period

    @schnookimz Oh no, if it were that scenario I would absolutely understand why they wouldn't allow me to transfer....it's on the same unit and it's a shift that I've gotten use to being on orientation...
  17. Applying for day shift during probation period

  20. How long until you were pretty good at IV starts?

    Best advice EVER. I'm a new grad in the ER also, but my IV start/venipuncture competency test came early (about 3 weeks in, my orientation is 6 months). I would say that i'm okay with my "sticks"....
  21. New York Presbyterian BSN only?

    Only
  22. Congrats on passing the NCLEX!!! :) Apply to as many places as you can! I should warn you though: nursing homes rarely hire, and when they do, it's for experienced RNs only. They usually look for...
  23. No longer a new grad, still no job

    No idea, I had originally set up a personal, face-to-face interview after a successful telephone interview. I cancelled it after getting into the ER. I imagine it wouldn't be as much as in the city,...
  24. Question About the Current Job Market

    There are many ED positions open at various nyc hospitals, and hiring managers usually hire former EMTs into those positions anyway. South Nassau Communities has a real need for ED RNs, but they want...
  25. 16 months....still NO JOB
