I am completely aware that this thread has been started before but I noticed that a lot of them are old and NY Presbyterian has changed the format since and I notice that there have not been a lot of responses answering the questions. Now, they don't...

okay! So I got an email from human resources at new york presbyterian, first asking me about what unit I want to work at, why I want to work at NYP, what shifts I wanted to work at etc. Then, the HR lady called a week to follow up and let me know the...

Lilia! Thank you. NYP is definitely hiring and persistence is key. I applied ten times over the course of 4 months and got rejected 9 times before they finally contacted me for a possible interview. I requested medical-surgical but said I would prefe...

Hi.. Just to infuse a little bit of hope but I finally was hired at New York Presbyterian after a six month long job search. During this job market, I think it's important to get very creative. I never though about how much work was required in job s...

I didn't interview at NYU but I can tell you about my interview experience at another New York Hospital. It was a two part process where I was interviewed by the HR first and then interviewed by the Nurse Manager. All in all, the interview process is...

Just to throw in my 2 cents! I took it and passed :] With a limited amount of time, the best form of studying was to buy Mosby's Pharmacology flip book that utilizes pictures and mnemonics in order to help you cover the basic medications. It does a ...

I think meeting racist patients is an unavoidable aspect of life. Its something I encounter in an everyday situation, like just walking into a deli and having people pretend they know how to speak Chinese. (I'm not Chinese.) As a nursing student in ...

Hi I felt the same about about the job fair. I thought it was a waste of my time because it seemed like none of the nurse recruiters would ever remember me. But this past week, I heard back from two of the places that I applied to to come in for an i...

oops, sorry for the double reply, thought the first one didn't go through!

Definitely try to do an externship as it gives you the opportunity to be hired within the hospital and give you a step up as a candidate in other hospital. Also choose your synthesis placement (also know as preceptorship) on a unit and hospital you ...

Definitely consider doing an externship porgram as it gives you a step up from other candidates to get hired. Also, choose your synthesis clinical placement (also known as a preceptorship) at a unit and hospital you might want to work at. A lot of gi...

I definitely feel the same way! I've been told that no matter what, the first year is always hard. Just stick it out and in the end it'll really pay off. Good luck!

I am in the same predicament as you! Let me know if anything does help. I feel just as nervous as it's been 6 months since I've been in school too. Good luck!

Hi I graduated Dec 2008, took my boards in February and was offered a job at the end of May.

It was the pharmacology reviews and rationales by prentice hall nursing 2nd edition.

Hi everyone, I'm kind of in the same predicament. I was hired on Thursday and given until this Wednesday to study for the pharmacology book. I got the book yesterday but it is a lot of material. If anyone can give me any sort of guidance, I definitel...

Well, there are still some hospitals in the area that are hiring such as New York Presbyterian. The best thing you can do right now knowing how the economy is, is to make yourself stand out from the crowd. If you can do externship or a patient care a...

Yes. I should be thinking positively! Thank you for the encouragement!!

ahhh that doesn't sound too promising i hope that isn't the case for me too! thank you for sharing though :)

HI everyone, I just wanted to pick people's brains about a question I had. I am a recent December graduate from the Boston area and have passed my NCLEX in the state of Massachusetts. Because the job market for new graduate has been so difficult in ...
