Question. Is the orientation online or onsite?

I remember during the interview they said to expect end of February

Hi. Yes, I interviewed a while ago. It was like a job interview. They asked the typical questions and they said we should hear back by the end of February. Hi. I interviewed early Nov. They said to expect to hear back from the admission office late February about whether or not you have been accepted to the program.

I scheduled my interview for the FNP program

No, I have not heard anything. I also applied to adult but not heard from that as well. But I know the deadline for that isn't until mid Nov I think.

I thought I might start a thread for those that applied for Stony Brook's 2024 Summer FNP program. I guess it's too early to hear back about interviews? I hope they don't schedule them while I'm away for the next two weeks on the other side of the world.

Hi Everyone, So, I have finally decided to pursue an advance degree. I have was lucky enough to be accepted to an MPH/MBA program and a PsychNP program. The best part is that the tuition is pretty much covered in exchange for 4 years of service to my current hospital after graduation (which quite frankly is fine since they pay the most in the area and they treat their staff pretty well). Are there any current nurses out here who pursued an MPH degree after a BSN? What are you doing now?

So, is it just me or our emphasis on customer service gone too far? Today, a patient's family complained that a doctor did not see the patient 16 min after arriving in the ED and I did not come in after 18 min. Yes, they timed it. FYI, I just received a patient who OD on heroine. It's not just this incident. Did we, as an industry, create this monster?

I work in the ED.

I work for a union facility and let me tell you they do not dictate vacations in our facility. This was my first year as a union member but i got Christmas day and New Year's eve and day off. But then again some nurses in my facility like the holiday pay hours. However, the union provides us with an 18 credit per year tuition reimbursement, free health and dental insurance, and a base pay of at least $15k more per year than a non-union facility. I can't really ask more than that, well maybe a better nurse to patient ratio at times in the ED

Hi everyone. So it is finally happening. My husband has been recruited to one of the mega tech firms in Northern Cali and we will be moving to the Bay Area within the next 4 mos. I have 5 years exp in acute care, mostly stepdown and ER. I work in NYC for one of the busiest hospitals in the Bronx. Pay is $48+ an hour and tons of OT. What kind of salary range can I expect in northern Cali? I prefer to stay within San Jose or Santa Clara area. Is pay negotiable? Do most pay for education? I am trying to finish my FNP. Any freedback will be greatly appreciated.

Sorry for the late reply. It's union so basically if an internal applicant applies they will most likely get the position. The still reimburse up to 18 credits a year. I applied online and the hiring manager is someone I worked with at my previous job so that is how he picked up my resumé. Unfortunately, you need someone inside to get you in but apply online. You never know.

Did they tell you to come in business attire?

When I was a new grad I only had BLS and ACLS. I didn't get my PALS after I was hired into the ED, and after being on the job for 45 days. Don't waste your time and money with PALS.

I have been on both sides of the fence. As a current ER nurse we can't give you a very detailed report because we also have 6-10 patients to care for and we can keep getting patients because that ER door doesn't close. In my current hospital we only have to give oral report if the patient is going to ICU or CCU. That's it. In my previous hospital it was the same policy. Floor nurses are also given minimum of 30 min before we send the patient up, time to read patient's info. I do make phone calls to the floor if there are exceptions, such as BiPap, patient doesn't have a 20 gauge IV, why abx was put on hold, etc ... But yes, most of the stuff I do can be found in the computer system.
