Hello everyone, There's an opening at the hospital I currently work at for an Employee Health Nurse. I am thinking about putting in a transfer for it. I'm thinking I have a good chance because my hospital is small. It's part time, 8am-4pm. I worked ...

Should be 1:2, sometimes 1:1 depending on what's going on (Balloon pump, CVVH, etc.)

Congrats on landing an interview with NYP! Happy for you :) I can't even get one! I've been applying for a lot of positions now for quite some time and can't get anything very discouraging! If you do not mind me asking, what's your experience?

I was a ASN and just graduated with my BSN. I have 4-5 years experience in the hospital and have a hard time finding a job! I really prefer NYP columbia or cornell but I can never land an interview There aren't even that much openings like before. I...

Hey congrats! Can I ask what unit you interviewed for and what experience you have? I have been trying nonstop to score an interview for a full time position in NYP (Cornell and Columbia). And nothing! I have 5 years experience in telemetry with exp...

Do you plan to do psych long term? If not, then I say don't go for it especially if you will be taking a pay cut. Keep applying for other hospital positions. There are hospitals that hire occupational nurses for their employee health services.

I just got my BSN and I have almost 5 years experience in Med-Surg Telemetry with experience floating to Coronary Care Unit and Post-interventional unit. I've applied to similar units in NYP and when I look at the status of my applications, it says "...

For nurses who currently work or ever worked at NYP/Queens.... how was it working there? Pros and cons? Do they do self scheduling there? What's the Nurse to Patient ratio usually on the med-surg floor? How are the ancillary staff (PCT, Phlebotomists...

Hey guys, I'm going to be done my BSN this summer and plan to apply in both NYP and Mount Sinai health systems. Has anyone ever worked for both? Which is better for nurses? Which one should I go for if I apply to both and happen to get offers for bo...

I have 5 years experience in the hospital working on a telemetry, med-surg unit. I trained a bit in the MICU and CCU. I'm currently in a BSN program and planning to pursue my Master's but not yet sure if I want informatics or Education. I'm consideri...

Definitely adequate staffing. I work on a tele/med-surg unit and the days we don't have staff are the busiest and make you want to quit nursing all together!But the days we have enough staff with a 1:4 1:5 ratio and 2 aides and a secretary..those are...

Don't give up! I have no idea what they look for. I have 5 years acute care experience, I will finish my BSN in 3 months. A recruiter called me the other day saying they were interested. When they asked about my BSN I told them I'll be finished in 3 ...

I work in a NJ hospital. Non-union

Very true. In the NYP online application they ask you your preferred salary range. I put something low for the hospital but reasonable for my living. Even if I get one dollar or more an hour than my current job, I will be ok. I only make $30/hr at my...

I'm on the same boat, except I have 5 years experience. My biggest disadvantage though: I only have an Associates Degree. Will be done my BSN this July! And it is about WHO YOU KNOW. Even though I know some people who work in both NYP and Mount Sina...

I can't wait to finish my BSN and apply for positions in NYP! Anyone here with an Associate's degree with years of experience but in a BSN program ever get hired at NYP? I am not giving up! I really want to get a job in a NYP hospital (preferably Col...

Yes! I agree, ChrisB718. We all took the same test so ADN's and BSN's should have equal chances of getting a job. It's all about experience, not degrees.

WOW! Congrats, MCNURSE631! I really want to get a job with this health system. Just curious, were there any ADN's that were hired (but enrolled in BSN)? They emailed me few months back saying I have the experience but want someone who is already BSN....

Not sure if this is the appropriate thread but what's the nurse to patient ratio like at mount Sinai (any of their hospitals, specifically telemetry units)

Most places want a year or two of experience for per diem or float pool. But some hospitals may hire new grads...if they're desperate. Kind of like my hospital. They just hired a bunch of new grads or nurses with no hospital experience for float pool...

I've been wanting to get into NYP system on a med-surg floor but after reading this I'm second guessing now. I have five years experience with Med/Surg and Telemetry.I'm used to the 7-8 patients. I would think a prestigious hospital like NYP cornell ...

I have five years experience (Med/Surg, Telemetry) and I'm having difficulty as well finding work in NYC. I really want something in the NYP system (Weill Cornell or Columbia)

Sounds like the floor I am on now. We can't retain any nurses. Nurses come and go as fast the patients do. The turnover of nurses is crazy! They don't last more than 6 months. I lost count how many nurses we lost on our floor. We barely have any seas...

How about NYP/Queens on a med/surg floor? Anyone have experience there? I started a topic about this but saw this thread as well. Thought I'd ask here also since its part of NYP system

I had a phone interview with one of the recruiters few months ago. Wasn't a fun experience at all. I thought the recruiter was rude. I got more nervous and she became more and more rude with me. I forgot her name. They ask you general questions like ...
