Do y'all happen to know what the night differential is? I see the base pay is 78.

I'm looking at NY Pres Columbia and Cornell, Mt Sanai, and NYU as of now. I'm currently waiting for my application for licensure to be processed and studying to take my CCRN to get that out the way in the next few weeks. I'm going to be looking for an ICU or PACU or some type of critical care floating position. Once that's narrowed down, it'll honestly come down to the money because I'm a single young woman that's going to be doing this by myself. :-) if you have any other suggestions as for hospitals for me to look into, please let me know. I just want to work somewhere that's advanced and pushing the envelope with medicine and health care. I love critical care and I love learning new ways to do things. Also most importantly, stable and not in the process of laying of workers.

Hi, I'm a registered nurse that's currently living in Louisiana with 2 years of ICU experience. I'm in the process of applying for a license for NY to begin looking for a job in one of the area Manhattan hospitals. Could someone please give me a rundown of their reputations as employers. I know I could say a lot about the hospitals in my area both good and not so good. Therefore I'm curious to find out about the reps of the Manhattan hospitals. Particularly if any are laying off or short on money, because it would suck to be hired only to be layed off shortly there after. Thanks!!

I agree with Butterfly. Get that one year for you. If you ever need to find another job, it will benefit YOU in the long run.

Sounds about right, but you should know its hard to come by any type of nursing job these days in Baton Rouge. I've heard that Woman's is on a hiring freeze. This area is saturated with nurses, new and experienced.

Revolution, if she does all that don't you think that might make it harder for her to find another job if it gets out in the area.

I would resign. I haven't started my nursing job experience yet (graduate in December), so take it with a grain of salt, but I have had regular jobs, and if it really does come down to getting fired or resigning, then resign! You have a much better chance of explaining a resignation than explaining how and why you got fired... Maybe you could talk to them about transferring you to another unit first, but if that isn't an option I would resign and tell the other jobs, you felt telemetry just wasn't a good fit for you right out of school.

My suggestion is to apply to hospitals outside your area, moreso rural hospitals. Get into contact with the recruiters and follow up. If there are no jobs in your area you may have to move a couple of hours away and come back after you get a little experience. You should find something. Good Luck!
