Hi Yakuza77, I'm not sure if you interviewed with Elmhurst yet but I am currently working at Metropolitan which is a part of HHC and I think the interview process should pretty much be the same. I started as a new grad about 3 years ago and the med calculation test is pretty straight forward. I think there may have been a few clinical questions. I first interviewed with the nurse recruiter where I took the written exam and she asked basic questions about why you got into nursing and about your different clinical experiences. I then was interviewed by the Head nurse of the unit where I will be working and with the ADN of the department. They reviewed my resume and asked questions based on that and then gave me a tour of the unit where I would be working. Hope this helps and good luck on your interview.

i graduated in nj and have my nj license and applied for my ny license. i eamiled the ny license department and they emailed me the steps needed to obtain a ny license. licensure from any state to new york you will have to complete 2 forms 2 online courses and provide verification of your registration and nclex score in order to obtain licensure in new york. 1.)you will complete nurse form1 application for licensure and first registration along with fee of $135.00 payable to new york state dept. of education 2.) you will complete nurse form 2 certification of professional education 3.) you will either complete nurse form3 verification of other professional 4.) if you were educated outside of the united states you will have to obtain a cgfns credential verification. their forms are available online www.cgfns.org or call 215-349-8767 licensure/certification or you will put your registration information on nursys so we may check your registration and nclex status. all forms are available on our website: www.op.nysed.gov 1.) if you are an rn you will take a online course in child abuse and maltreatment it is offered online one website is www.elearnonline.net this course is required prior to licensure.. 2.) a second course you will have to take is infection control and barrier protection a course that you will take prior to contact with patients. hope this helps

I was called for an interview and met with the nurse recruiter and then the Head nurse and ADON of the unit I was interviewing on the same day. A few weeks later they called to let me know I was hired.

Thank you for the response but they are now accepting new grads for some positions because I was hired in July.

Rutgers University, BSN 2008

yeah i started July 7th and am in orientation now

I already had a NJ license and applied for a NY license. I would suggest you start the process soon because it took me about 2-3 months before I received my license. NY requires you take a child abuse class (you can take it online) and another one and NY has to get papers from the NJ board of nursing and your school before you can get your license.

I was hired last month by a HHC hospital, but you have to check there openings frequently because they post positions and remove them fast. Also, I never filled out an application until I was contacted for an interview. I simply mailed my cover letter and resume to the nurse recruiter and they contacted me. So even if they do have any openings listed, still send in your resume so that if an opening happens, they already have your resume on file.

When I graduated I had no other nursing experience other than my clinical experience. So I listed my clinical experience under the heading "Clinical Experience" and my work experience under "Work Experience". I did list work experience that had nothing to do with nursing. I think you should consider yourself as a new RN with no experience since you already have your license.

All I can say is to keep trying. I did not have any experience outside of my clinicals, but would send my cover letter and resumes to hospitals and nursing homes (either through email or regular mail) even if they had no positions posted. About a month later I received a call from a hospital, had the interview and was called back saying I got the job. Also, if possible you could try New York. It seems New York is hiring a little more than New Jersey. Don't just look at the big, well known names in New York. It took me about 10 months to finally find a job. Don't give up and keep trying.

While I was looking for a job, I sent a resume to Inglemoor nursing home in Livingston, NJ and they called me back to schedule an interview.

For me it took about 12 days after I sent in my application and registered with Pearson. I'm not sure if you need to be fingerprinted before taking the NCLEX, but I recommend it so it does not delay you getting your license after you take the NCLEX. After you send your application, you will receive a letter informing you how you need to proceed to schedule your fingerprints.

New York Presbyterian and NYU have new grad programs. These two are very competitive. They also like you to have experience outside of your clinical experience from school. I know other hospitals have new grad programs but you will have to do an internet search. You can google hospitals in ny and it will give you a list where you can visit the hospital's websites.
