Crucian-RN

To pinoysn I did post this thread under another forum and got this response from kansas1234 "New York visiting nurse association of Manhattan is great. tell them your 2 areas you want. $10,000 sign on bonus paid over 2 years. Great benefits with 4 weeks vacation first year." Hope this info is helpful to you

That resume sounds pretty impressive to me!!! You are well prepared. I hope you find something real soon.

This is very helpful. Thanks so much. Did you ever find a job?

HI everyone, I need some major help. Currently I reside in Maryland. I've been a Med-Surg Bachelor's prepared nurse for a little over 3 yrs. I received by RN degree and practiced my first 1 1/2 yrs of nursing in the U.S Virgin Islands. The remainder of my nursing career has been spent working in Washington, D.C. My husband lives in NYC for job purposes. I'm relocating to NYC to be with him but can't do so without a job. I've been searching for jobs since November of last yr and that has not turned out as successful as I hoped. I was told that it's best to work in the city and that it wouldn't be as hard to obtain a job since I've got some experience. I beg to differ. I'm in dire need of a job. We plan to live in Brooklyn or Queens so I've been searching for jobs at 3 main Manhattan hospitals: Mount Sinai, NY Presbyterian-Columbia, and Lenox hill. The pickings for job listings that I qualify for at these institutions are so few. I was not selected for 2 job positions I qualified and applied for at Mount Sinai. Haven't heard anything back regarding the single application I filled out at Lenox Hill. And can't find any openings at NYP. Don't know much about hospitals in NY and I'm definitely not getting as far as I would have hoped in this job hunt process. I am open to all suggestions. PLEASE HELP ME!!! Can anyone suggest any hospitals that would be good to apply to close enough to Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens preferably. However I am definitely open to suggestions anywhere else since there is a chance I might not find a job close to where I plan to live. Thank you.

Thanks so much. This information was so helpful.

Thanks so much for the information it's very helpful. Since I'm a newbie I know nothing about New York! I was just told that the Queens area is pretty descent to live. I drive in MD and don't think I'd be ready to drive in NYC when I get here. Public transport would probably be my option but I'll keep my vehicle just in case. I'd like to find an apartment closer to those 2 hospitals so maybe Queens wouldn't be the best place. If I can commute to work safely I'd definitely drive. Can you please elaborate on the competitiveness at Mount Sinai? In terms of my work schedule I will rather working full-time..I find the flow fine for me. But, I completely understand what your saying about the pay. And I'ma look into that hospital in Brooklyn....never heard of it. Thanks a lot again.

Hi everyone, I relocated to Maryland one yr ago and started working at Washington Hospital Center. Now I'm planning to move to NYC late this year or early next year. I need to find out some information regarding good hospitals to work at in NYC. I plan to live in the queens area. Two hospitals have peeked my interest: Mount Sinai and Lenox Hill. I've worked as an RN on med/surg since I became a nurse in the US Virgin Islands in '09; it's basically all I know. However, I really want to transfer to antepartum when I move to NYC since I was very interested in maternal nursing during undergrad studies. Can anyone give me some information on starting salaries for the 2 hospitals I've mentioned, as well as any other good ones. I'm also interested what anyone has to share regarding working experience on the labor and delivery unit at these hospitals and tips for transitioning from med/surg to L&D. Schenell

Good day, I am seeking some help regarding employment as a RN. I've recently graduated from the University of the Virgin Islands with my BSN. I am currently living in the Virgin Islands however, I plan to relocate to NYC to seek employment after I take, and hopefully pass, my NCLEX in August. I am asking for any suggestions regarding hospitals in NYC at which I should consider for employment. I will like to pursue a career in midwifery however, I need to acquire some experience from the medical-surgical floor before I do so. I have no working experience; therefore, information regarding whether any hospitals suggested accept new graduates without experience will be greatly appreciated. Can you please help me. Cordially, Schenell Weekes
