Anyone from NJ? Curious what the pay is like in the garden state!

I'm shocked that even experienced RNs are having trouble finding jobs. Several years ago it was the new grads that struggled because everyone wanted to hire nurses with experience. Are you guys RNs with BSNs? What type of exp do you have. I ...

I haven't looked in a few years. But I am now finally getting my act together and enrolling in a BSN program. I already have a BS so I am hoping it won't take me forever! i lucked out as a new grad in sub-acute rehab in NYC. I'm thinking of l...

I'm sorry, by the way.

Wow! Are you guys new grads?

I started in a SNF on the sub-acute rehab floor when I graduated a few years ago. I think I started at just over $70k a year for days. This was in an outer borough. gl!

I have found that to be sort of a silly question on nursing job applications. Because usually there is a set salary for new grads, nurses with x years of exp, nurses with certifications, etc. when I was a new grad I put "open" and salary was never...

Good for you! Anesthesia - wow! Being a CRNA is no joke! That's awesome and I wish you the best with that! congrats again and thank you for your help on this thread!

Many thanks! I'm going for it! Congrats to you on having only one more class!!! That is awesome!!!!!!! What are your plans when you graduate? also, if you can PM me any contact info for the RN-BSN coordinator I would appreciate it.

Yes, already an RN. Is it really that easy??? Yay!

I know I'm the one who started this thread a while ago, but I still haven't applied! so my main question now is ----- is it very competitive and hard to get into? I don't want to waste my time/money if I don't have a shot at getting in. Thanks ...

Hope you feel better and ace your exam! Very best of luck to you! OT a bit....Which certification is this for? New to this but aren't there two diff ones for hospice nurses? Which one is the 'gold standard'? What book are you studying from? th...

Their website says "generous tuition reimbursement" under Benefits. i'm curious if anyone can give me more specific info. i.e. how much, and also if p/t employees are eligible as well. Thanks in advance!

Hi. I'm sorry I can't help with your original question, but I am just curious if you have trach exp. it seems to be mandatory on most of their job postings. GL - let us know how it goes!

If you want to work in a doctors office then they are ok, i guess. They def have a bad reputation in many regards - excessive wait times to get an appt on the phone, for example. Those sort of things. Your job would prob be pretty routine. Vita...

This thread is several years old. I'm curious about the current salary numbers and working conditions at st barnabas. Still a good place to work?Tia

Can anyone please share with me what they are paying new grads? Someone told me its like $53,000 which I completely cannot believe. The hospital is approx 20 miles from NYC and in NYC the new grads are making $68,000 & up (easily). 53K just se...

Mindi - Wow - 8 weeks! that's pretty good. thanks for the info! And good luck on monday!! Please post back and share how everything is going. Again, good luck and congrats!

Mindi - congrats on your new job! Since I am hoping to work at St Barnabas one day, I am curious about your orientation. How long is it and how is it structured? i.e. is it classroom or on the unit you will be working? Do you orient on the shift ...

What did you do? I'm trying to decide if its smart or a waste for me to pursue certifications like NRP now while I am trying to get hired on an L&D, postpartum, nursery, etc unit. I'll do anything to make myself stand out, but i'm just not sure ...

How did you end up in Nursing Management? Was it just moving up throughout the years? Or did an MBA or MSN in Nursing Admin help? This is always where I pictured myself as I'm a career changer with a lot of corporate business exp. TIA for taking ...

which part of jersey is this? i'm so surprised to see the low salaries posted here.

i can't believe i'm making more $ in LTC as a new grad than i would at st barnabas. my plan has always been to apply to st. barn when i get a little exp under my belt, i'm just really surprised i'll be taking a pay cut to do it!

I thought I would have gotten some info when I got my license. Now I'm worried I should be doing something that I'm not doing. Please enlighten me! THANKS

Can anyone point me in the right direction - - I am applying to oncology jobs that state "Chemotherapy Certification" preferred. I'd love more info on how to go about obtaining this. TIA~
