HIPAA

Living alone, you'll need AT LEAST 70k/yr to live in Manhattan south of 96th. The Upper East Side near the river has less expensive (not cheap) apartments. Might work if you work on the UES, but a *terrible* idea if you work anywhere else. Several...

I think this image sums up the NYC job market: http://newdeal.feri.org/images/ab32.gif

Stiltarget is 100% right. I wouldn't turn it down, especially in this economy!!

Depends on where you want to go. If you want to work in the PACU, ICU, L&D, or certain other areas ... you'll be in M/S a long time before the change. At least that's been my experience. At the same time, it does open up pretty much every *othe...

Either (a) not treating your coworker any differently to their face, while at the same time lobbying the charge nurse to give them patients with a lower acuity, or (b) a drink.

I would think long and hard about whether you really want to become a nurse or not. It's not the easy, recession proof job you've heard about. It's physically demanding, high stress / high stakes, and really is life & death in some cases. Also...

I'm not a lawyer, but I'm fairly certain that you can file a lawsuit against a previous employer for giving out information other than dates of employment and performance reviews. I may be wrong, or it may be state to state.

Bklyn_RN's post is awesome, especially if you live in an urban area.

Document, document, document. Also, they're your coworkers, not your friends.

Admittedly, there is an ant fart conspiracy.

If you work in Tele, try to hold out a year. It would open a lot of ICU/PACU/CCU doors, and possibly even ER.

You have a wealth of helpful advice in the previous comments. Here's my take: Don't take it personally. There are many reasons someone might exhibit such behavior. Check their vitals and bloodsugars, double check their meds, and tell the charge nu...

There are no good or bad hospitals in NYC, just good or bad floors (and that can change quickly).

That seems fairly normal for any position, nursing included.

I had one that took 2 months, but most are 3-4 weeks.

I did my pre-reqs at night at BMCC. Here's some honest advice: A. We called it the school of hard knocks, for a reason. B. You are going to have to lie your way into classes (literally) sometimes. Administration often doesn't know what you need, ...

Unless you have some "in" at Bronx Lebanon, I would just keep my eyes open for all hospitals. If you live in the Bronx, you may also want to consider a few Westchester or CT hospitals. Age will probably give you a bump, but gender isn't going to mat...

As the poster before me stated, I know of many receptionist jobs that having starting salaries equal to starting nurse jobs in New York. Just look at the large Manhattan corporations. There are jobs outside of NYC (Newark and Westchester come to min...

The market for nurses is incredibly tight nation wide, and especially so in the urban areas where pay is higher. If you need to make a significant salary, you will probably be better off with an MBA or advanced education degree. If you have a strong...
