RN Newbie

Hi everyone! I interviewed for both hospitals and would really like to know if there are any of you that work in either New York Presbyterian or Sloan-Kettering that could tell me about orientation details. Do either hospitals require a basic nursing entrance test (pharm) once hired? Also, what are their orientation programs like? (classroom time, preceptorships, length of time period etc.)

Hi, I just saw your post about interview questions at MSKCC. I have an interview coming up and was wondering if you could give me any advice on questions and answers. Thank you!

I, like a lot of people who read this post, was extremely skeptical about whether or not this trick worked. I took my test at 8am on Friday Aug 6. I had 91 questions which took me about two and a half hours to complete. When the test shut off and I saw the blue screen, I thought there was no way I could have passed. I received about 5-6 SATA questions, lots of nursing priority questions (who should the nurse see first), along with psych questions and a lot of medication questions. I took the Kaplan course, which 'trained' you to answer questions correctly, however, once I sat down for the NCLEX, i literally felt that every question I had was tricky and had at least two completely right answers. Needless to say, I felt horrible coming out of the test, cried my eyes out when I got home and went directly online to look up all the answers to questions I remembered (BTW: DO NOT DO THAT, THAT IS THE WORST THING TO DO COMING OUT OF THE TEST!!!). Anyway, stayed up all night because I couldn't sleep, and came across this website and the trick. Of course I tried it, anxiety crazed and all, and I received the good pop up about contacting your Board of Nursing. I recommend everyone to try this trick. Although I was skeptical even after trying, it did help me get through the next two days. I received my "PASS" today and I couldnt be happier. Good Luck to all those who still have to take it. Just be confident in yourself and FOCUS. Take the first 75 questions slowly...dont look at the clock and read carefully. If I could do it, you all can too!
