Daisy4RN, You're so right. Seems like only mistakes are acknowledge by admin.

Hey, Just google Geriatric Nurse-BC. You have to take a certification exam.

Ladies, been there! As an associate RN, I got NO CALLBACKS. I applied multiple times to the health systems here in NYC and Westchester. Job postings that said "new grads welcome" or those where I met the minimum requirements. Rejection after rejection. So, after 6 months I started as an RN in private duty nursing. And signed up for a BSN program. Now that I've finished the BSN program and considered tristate hospitals..things are looking up. NYC is just a tough market. I've had friends who were lucky and somehow got a callback but there's a lot of us that don't get our start in the hospital. It's better to get experience somewhere as an RN..homecare, school nursing, outpatient than sitting at home broke. Finish your BSN, support yourself financially and be open to commuting 30minn-1hr out for a position in acute care.

You're welcome. I found out about the job fair through nursing magazines mailed to my home...like Advance, Nurse.com. You should also apply to Indeed to get a daily list of all RN jobs available.

From my experience, the new grad experience hasn't changed. I have two years of experience as a RN in home healthcare and have a BSN-Summa Cum Laude. I applied to hospitals and I'm still getting rejected. It's ridiculous. I suggest you work in ATL for a year in a hospital to really stand out as candidate. Working as a tech is good. But if you're not staying in ATL I don't think it will help you in NYC. Usually you work as a tech then ask for a RN position at the hospital once you graduate. As a student nurse, try to get into an externship a during the summer.

Hi Ashley, Congrats! Good luck on the NCLEX. You should try looking on LinkedIn. There's a ton of nurse recruiters on there. You may have to upgrade you LinkedIn membership in order to PM nurse recruiters. Also, make your PM short and sweet. It's hard getting replies back. There's a job fair on June 13th in NYC hosted by Nurse.com. Look into that.

I wish I qualified for the HSS Residency Program! But the residency program as to be your first job as an RN (womp, womp). Good luck. Hope you guys get a call back.

Hi CCRNLola, Thanks for the information. I called the Human Resources dept. to check on the status of my application. She asked if they called me for an interview. I said "No". Then she said "if they are interested they will call me." Soo...don't know what to say to move the conversation forward. Recently, I found a nurse recruiter via Linkedin and wrote her a message. Hopefully, she writes me back. So tough getting a job in NYC.

Hey LNRN15, I don't know the answer to your question. But I also applied to WMC and would like to know what position you applied for. Two weeks ago, I applied for a position titled "New Grads- Registered Nurses". My application status hasn't changed on the site. What has your experience been with WMC as far as applying?

Hey, I completely agree with everything Tree5981 stated. I'm also a student at Capella University's RN-BSN program. I've completed two quarters thus far. I'm pretty much at the cultural competence portion of the curriculum. Personally, I enjoy it. I like learning about cultures so these assignments just give me the opportunity to research it more. Taking two classes is a lot so I wouldn't suggest any more than that. 2 classes is considered full time. From those enrolled in the RN-BSN program, can you provide any feedback on BSN 4004 Policy and Ethics and the 4012 Leadership course? Thanks!

hey INN_777: I applied for the Feb 2015 too. The generic e-mail said November they would contact people if they were interested.

Hey I'm looking into Preferred HomeCare. I'm a fairly new graduate currently working with a Homecare agency. Do they offer private duty cases or several visits like VNS?? I want to learn how to work with vent pts. But I am hesitant b/c I know I need adequate training. Any my updates from those working at Perferred?

Hello everyone: I've been applying for RN jobs at White Plains Hospital since February and all of my applications have been rejected. The minimum education level is an AAS. I am now enrolled in a BSN program and tried applying again over the last 2 months and still- rejected. I have externship experience but apparently they are not impressed. Has anyone been hired by White Plains Hospital over the past 5 months? Any nurses have information of White Plains Hospital?

I applied for med-surg and maternity.

No, I haven't heard anything back from Stamford Hospital. Did you notice that they separated the externship into different units? Med-surg, maternity, ICU.
