herowneulogy BSN, RN

Ok, so I'm trying my hardest to get a job at this hospital, yes, even as a new grad (the glass is half full, right?). The thing is, each and every time I call the nurse recruitment office, the receptionist either tells me that she'll answer whatever ...

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 for the roles/responsibilities of an FNP. If you'...

I emailed her about the critical care positions LAST YEAR and have been applying since then. She was rejecting my application time and again because she has no nursing experience whatsoever and was not aware the ER/OR/Stepdown/Telemetry can all segue...

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 2017), I saw that a private network hospital (with s...

PASSED BOTH THE CRITICAL EXAM AND EKG RHYTHM INTERPRETATION EXAMS WITH 95s!! *happy dance*

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 :)

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, because easy is boring. Plus, writing doesn't pay the ...

Please list hospitals participating in 1199 pension plan.

Please lists the hospitals participating in 1199.

Totally agree with this, as I am an ER nurse with a few years of experience. But I recently started a new job and here's my scenario: Patient was in ER, missed dialysis for 4 days, complaining of abdominal pain, so abd/pelvic CT was ordered, patient ...

Congratulations everyone! I'm going now to order those books! :)

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, but I consider it a downgrade)" to EDIS, which is ...

Funny/weird because his EKG book is written in such a way, that even a child could understand.

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 like you're already enrolled in a BSN program, so ...

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 to apply. I asked my union rep about it, and they...

@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 at this new place. I've been paying union dues an...

The job is on the same unit. It just doesn't make sense to me why I'm not being considered for a vacancy that no one has applied for or has shown interest in....

Anyone apply for per diem ER? Or work at Mount Sinai ER as per diem nurse? What does the hiring process and orientation involve?

Hi all, I wanted to briefly discuss some issues I am having with management at the hospital I am employed at. I work in the ED, night shift, we see A LOT of patients. We've always been short staffed, but since Hurricane Sandy, we've experienced that ...

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". There are some days where i'll get everyone, and some...

Only BSN

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 LPNs, mostly.

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, since the cost of living is much cheaper upstate. B...

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 experience. However, I would contact the nurse rec...

So truw. Also, when applying to NURSING jobs, tailor your resume and cover letter to the specific organization that you are applying to. Have you been volunteering at acute care facilities? Include that!!! Hiring managers love to discover that as a n...
