lol i just had to laugh

well look at it this way- they said experience needed-not no new grad -if i were you i wouldnt jump to conclusion i would go to hr like i told you with resume on hand there is an exception to every rule. and i say this cause i know how they work-

oh my yea you need it- but like i said good sam is the placce to be. i think the person who first interviews nurses, i have to check- i worked there as a tech in icu-nurses in that unit arent very nice ( well maybe they are just not nice to non nurses lol) but if you want to get an interview without going around the world and back shes the go to person-straight to the source she gave me her contact number when i moved to fl i cant find it for nothing- heres what to do if i cant find it next time you are in rockland go to suffern and to the main lobby of hospital DURING BUSINESS HOURS they will direct you to a building across from the hospital parking lot that building is HR that is where "------" office is. she is a dear! there you introduce yourself with resume on hand if memory serves me correctly if she'll give all the info you need to know. if not busy (usually is) she'll do an initial interview to save her time. dont know anyone in nyack hospital but you can try there as well had to remove the name didnt feel comfortable!!

then i would go straight to good sam hospital in suffern-much better than nyack- but hey TRY BOTH CANT HURT. where do you live?

happy birthday:yeah::yeah::yeah:

wow well im 5'6 110 lbs, the most i ever weigh is 127 and this is at 9 months pregnant(both babies were 8lbs).and i have to tell you i'm appauled by the way you were treated. think of it this way- it's their lost, not yours- their working short and God willing, you are on your way to a facility that will appreciate your skills-might be a blessing in disguise!

well try good sam hospital they are always hiring its in suffern ny in rockland county where bear mountain is. not too far at all. another hospital you could try which is closer also in rockland county-nyack ny is nyack hospital. i lived in various parts of rockland all my life and at one point lived in tomkins cove 10 min from bear mountain beautiful area rockland. its a small county everyone knows everyone but wonderful people. you'll love it now matter where in rockland you live. i suggest stony point, suffern, nanuet, pearl river, new city-if you an afford it(great school) some parts of spring valley, pomona nice area a lot of mds and dds live there. blauvelt is nice near pearl river-all in rockland-if you like lakes lake welch (you can swim in it-in stony point)! if you have any questions let me know. and also if you want long term care work. in new city theres an assisted living facility called sunrise-they always hire and in chestnut ridge also nice area but boarders nj theres an assisted living as well called esplanade (i worked there). if you want to work for the county-which would be great(they take care of theirs) try sanatorium hospital through the department of social servies in pomona. or you can work for the state in orangeburg-nice area too. its called rockland psych-my sister works there. can you tell i love that place??? lol

try herzing, its not a state school which means its more than vcc however there is NO WAIT LIST you go right in your core courses after your pre-reqs. i currently attend. started this sept 2010, and have been given my nursing schedule for may 2011. i start nursing core courses in may this year

i am soooooooooooooooo happy for you, i was wondering how you made out. great, go get 'em:yeah::yeah::yeah::yeah::yeah::up::up::up:

shame shame shame....shame as an orthodontist assistant i made $17.00. and lpns are making $14....all i can say is shame-i mean i'm just dumbfounded!

if i could i would give you a million kudos:yeah:

totally agree:up:

i couldn't have said it better myself!

:yeah::yeah:

may i suggest herzing university. the shool has campuses around the country GA, WI, FL, AL etc.just google herzing and you will find the locations. it is a private school. about 20,000 per year. the reason why i said herzing and not a state school even though they are cheaper is because of time!. at herzing there is NO wating list after your gen.eds are taken you go straight into the nursing core courses. unlike the community colleges where you are placed on a waiting list for 1-2 years once you have completed your pre-reqs. since you are on a visa i figure why waste the time. you will get your ADN in 20-24 months. and then you can do the rn-bsn bridge or better yet you can do the RN-MSN bridge and come out with a masters degree in a shorter amount of time (which is what im doing) as far as the NCLEX goes i dont want to miss lead you, you would have to call bon once you have picked a state and school. best of luck
