  5. Memorial Sloan-Kettering

    nyforlove replied to lilnat03's topic in New York Nursing

    And I think you're right about the LACK of a pension plan for nurses...largely because Sloan is NOT Unionized.....nurses at hospitals with NYSNA-Union representation can move from any of 26 hospitals...

  6. Memorial Sloan-Kettering

    nyforlove replied to lilnat03's topic in New York Nursing

    Thanks for the info. I read somewhere that only about five percent of US hospitals have computerized medication charting...too bad with messy handwriting and misplaced paper causing so many

  7. Memorial Sloan-Kettering

    nyforlove replied to lilnat03's topic in New York Nursing

  11. Name the hospital and its Starting Salary!!!

    nyforlove replied to amadime1's topic in New York Nursing

    I believe that Sloan Kettering has a major competitive DISadvantage: they don't have an employer-sponsored pension, which you DO get at a NYSNA-unionized hospital and 1199-unionized hospital..I...

    nyforlove replied to ShannonB25's topic in School, College Programs

    WOW!--are you "attending" Walden part-time or full-time? I was hoping to do my degree a few credits/semester while working 40 hrs/week, but if the studying and assignments are so much, perhaps I...

    nyforlove posted a topic in General Nursing

    This was being discussed on a specialty forum, but it applies universally to hospital nurses, so here goes: Getting Paid for End-of-Shift Overtime If a Nurse needs to stay an extra hour after a...

  17. More Men RNs = More $$$ for All?

    nyforlove replied to michellesrndream's topic in General Nursing

  21. NY: Passed NCLEX; How Long for Listing on BON website? Receipt of paper license?

    Just curious if anyone knows...Took it Sat. a.m. and paid the Quick Results fee this a.m. to find out I passed...(feel bad for people in the NON-Quick results states--that's cruel)...Now, about how...

  22. NY: Passed NCLEX; How Long for Listing on BON website? Receipt of paper license?

    nyforlove replied to nyforlove's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The silver lining to this delay in our license issuance: Because our license was issued in Oct. (i.e. post-Sept. 30), our license expires one month later: Sept. 09 instead of Aug. '09...Yippee--a...
