  1. Attn: All liu-brooklyn bsn students and recent grads

    laynaER replied to AccelCNL's topic in New York Nursing

    ha! they will tell you that of course because they want your money. I was wait listed one semester because they had no more

  2. LIU brooklyn campus vs Molloy

    laynaER replied to RedEyeBrat's topic in New York Nursing

    I just graduated from LIU. I'd recommend it because I really have nothing inherently bad to say about our school except they can be a bit disorganized at times, but the support from faculty is really...

  3. Associates degree

    laynaER replied to Kristen<3's topic in New York Nursing

    Well I have a BSN and nobody won't hire me. So if me, as a BSN is having trouble, imagine the level of difficulty it will be for an ADN. NYC is saturated with new nurses and the job market is tight as...

  4. From Golden Child to Worst Employee: What The?????

    laynaER replied to tencat's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds to me like you need another job, and if you felt your patient assignment was unsafe then you should have maybe filed the necessary paperwork to protest it and to declare the situation unsafe...

  5. Nursing instructor in the wrong

    laynaER replied to cb_rn's topic in General Nursing

    I think you did the right thing. Safety comes first and sometimes we have to put each other's pride aside if it means protecting a patient. No one wants to be embarassed, but sometimes we have to be...

  6. NYP waiting list

    laynaER replied to laynaER's topic in New York Nursing

    The only people who start working that quickly are the people with connects. unfortunately most people don't have connects and it ends up taking them 6-8 months to find a job. That's terrible. I hope...

  7. Associates degree

    laynaER replied to Kristen<3's topic in New York Nursing

    Yeah, the previous poster is right. Especially if you are in NY. if you survey 10 hospitals, 9 will state BSN is their preference. I know city hospitals def take Associate degree nurses, and Continuum...

  8. Attn: All liu-brooklyn bsn students and recent grads

    laynaER replied to AccelCNL's topic in New York Nursing

    Nursing is growing in popularity, it's one of the fastest growing majors people are taking on so my guess is yeah, there will be a waiting list. Not anything insane like 2 years but mostly one...

  9. NYP waiting list

    laynaER replied to laynaER's topic in New York Nursing

    Oh and even as a May grad, they usually don't take their nclex until august and september. it takes longer to process the apps because more people graduate in may than in january. i don't know anybody...

  10. NYP waiting list

    laynaER replied to laynaER's topic in New York Nursing

    I've already graduated and I have my license already. I need to be hired ASAP. I have a connect at Mount Sinai and couple of leads so I'm just waiting for things to fall into place. Hopefully wherever...

    laynaER replied to AccelCNL's topic in New York Nursing

    Oh and chem 3x and 4x is just regular chem only thing is that it's not accepted by other universities. I hear its slightly easier than regular chem 3 and chem 4 which requires pre cal as a pre or...

  12. Attn: All liu-brooklyn bsn students and recent grads

    laynaER replied to AccelCNL's topic in New York Nursing

    Hey guys I just graduated from LIU's school of nursing and while your concerns are correct, you guys also need to be preparing for the entrance exam and possible wait list. You guys should be calling...

  13. Stamford Hospital distance from Metro North Train Station

    laynaER replied to laynaER's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    thanks for your help! I read on their website they have a free shuttle for employees from metro north to the hospital, not sure how true it is, but thanks

  14. Is med-surg really the best place to start as a new grad?

    laynaER replied to Valerie916's topic in General Nursing

    I think it all depends on who you ask. Like some of the others said, most people are just regurgitating what others have told them. I have spoke to other nurses who say a specialized unit is better...

  15. NYP-Cornell Med/Surg - does anyone work there?

    laynaER replied to mcpnurse's topic in General Nursing

  16. NYP waiting list

    laynaER replied to laynaER's topic in New York Nursing

    I didn't address the cover letter to anyone. I just wrote to whom it may concern, and i applied like everyone else. i applied about 10 times in the past 6 months. all i got were reject emails saying i...

  17. The "Real" Problem With Nursing

    laynaER posted a topic in General Nursing

    Is people who recognize the fact that there is a problem, and instead of standing up, doing the right thing about it by galvanizing their colleagues whether they be fellow nurses, instructors, or...

  18. NEW GRAD letter to Chuck Schumer

    laynaER replied to SunshineRN79's topic in New York Nursing

  19. more jobs with new universal health care?

    laynaER replied to Phlavyah's topic in General Nursing

    Well you just may be a lucky one because I live in NY, I've been looking for work since January, and NOTHING. To the OP: if logic follows then that is a possibility. If more people have access to...

  20. What counts as experience?

    laynaER posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm a new graduate RN, and as most of you know, most places require a minimum of one year experience. My question is, what is counts as experience? I got called to take an exam for a nursing home. I...

  21. Giving report in a language other than English

    laynaER replied to dudette10's topic in General Nursing

    I've never seen that done, and I don't think it would be a wise thing to do. Speaking another language around people who don't speak that language is often considered disrespectful. If I'm working in...

  22. What counts as experience?

    laynaER replied to laynaER's topic in General Nursing

    See, smartnurse, I've heard that as well which is why I decided to ask. I saw people on another forum on this site complaining that the hospital wasn't considering outpatient clinic, ltc, or home care...

    Alright, thanks a lot for the

  24. States Who Have Banned HESI

    laynaER replied to Decemberblues's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I agree with most of the statements made here. I don't recall who said it, but i 100% with the fact that the HESI is allowing schools to falsely skew their pass rates to make it seem like they have a...

    laynaER replied to shmitty3's topic in New York Nursing
