Few of my fellow classmates got new grad hires in eastern side of the state. What I saw them do is aggressively calling HR, and submitting applications regardless what the posting stated. Many postings will put experience is required, but its worth a shot to submit. A good friend got hired in because she was agressive. Dont give up. One of the key is we cant be choosy unfortunately...for starters that is. Another key is in your resume. I have helped several friends with their resumes and when I reviewed it, there were errors and missing information that expresses that you WANT the job!

Hi everyone, My husband is in process of getting a job in NYC and we MIGHT have to move out there. Here is my situation. I currently work stepdown ICU (progressive Care for CHF speciality unit). If we plan on moving, it will be towards the end of 2012. He has family in Brewster so I am a little familiar with NYC as my husband is a NYC native. We currently live in Grand Rapids michigan Suburb. I have done the research for costs but still scratching my head on some issues. We would probably try to live somewhere in Queens or Long Island. I have 2 kids, one 6 yr old and one thats 1 yr old. We live in a comfortable home here that costs $150 K to buy, which if in NYC area would be around 500K. My base salary since I recently started is $44K. By the time i move, I will have 1.5 to 2 yrs under me. Here are my questions of concern: 1) could someone with a family list some of the major expenses and give me approximate numbers just so I could juggle around with. We live quite conservatively out here, learned to decrease the going out, etc after our 2nd child. 2) What areas are good now adays for kids to go to school. My husband has not lived in NYC for over 7 yrs and it has changed as far as neighborhood wise. 3) Are there day care that provide service after 7pm...? 4) What kinds of rates could I expect as an RN level 2 that has under 2 yrs? I dont know how some people do it but my husband has a friend that just recently had a child and they are living in East bronx apartment, paying $1600 rent (all utilities) and they make $60K combined husband/wife income. ... What am I missing? I almost feel like I will not make it with the income provided compared to the costs that I have read online. If my salary is over 60K and my husband starting 45K and moving up each year, why are my numbers still show break even somewhere. I like to not break even but save for rainy days. Can someone please help. Thank you very much for your time.

For all you worried future RN's. The pearson vue trick does work. Approximately 10 minutes after you finish your test, you should be able to check your status. You must have a "Delivery Successful" status for it to be accurate. Follow the instructions filling out the school information, and answer the yes/no questions. Then..... If there is a pop up that tells you that you need to contact your state board of nursing, then you passed. If it allows you to go to the next screen and finally pay with your credit card, then you failed unfortunately. Pearson does not want to take your money unless you need to retake the test. So if you get the credit card screen, might as well pay for it so that you could schedule asap for your next exam. State of Michigan requires 30-45 day gap before you could take it. Pearson will send you a new ATT letter. So far, State of Michigan has been taking between 5-7 business days to get you your official letter and updated on their website. This is from what I have seen with myself and my fellow classmates. Good luck everyone! Hope this helps.
