    cammy429 replied to Az_RN_BSN's topic in New York Nursing

    Like the previous poster, I had no previous healthcare

  2. How did you prepare for your Nclex -Rn

    cammy429 replied to chachou22's topic in New York Nursing

    :up:I am sure you will be fine. Make sure you get all your stuff in to the board of nursing for your state so as soon as they get the paperwork from your school you will get your ATT. Good

  3. Will i be hard to find a job?

    cammy429 replied to Az_RN_BSN's topic in New York Nursing

    Every floor is different but I absolutely loved it. I am no longer there because I moved out of state but the staff was awesome. I still speak to some people from my original orientation group. The...

  4. Will i be hard to find a job?

    cammy429 replied to Az_RN_BSN's topic in New York Nursing

    I didn't do ANY of my clinicals at NYP and I was hired on as a new grad. Also, I knew quite a few nurses who came on before they passed their nclex. I really don't know what is it that they look for...

  5. Will i be hard to find a job?

    cammy429 replied to Az_RN_BSN's topic in New York Nursing

    I dont think that you should have ANY problems finding a job. Right out of school, I had 3 offers. One at NYP-Cornell, One at Maimonidies, and one at Methodist. That was just with my associates. I...

  6. How did you prepare for your Nclex -Rn

    cammy429 replied to chachou22's topic in New York Nursing

    1. Take the test as early as possible. 2. Do computerized questions (since the test is computerized), if you notice that there is an area or style of questions that you need to study more, focus on...

  7. Is there anything that you cannot handle as a Nurse?

    cammy429 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Nursing, for a long time was a career that I tried to avoid because I had a very weak stomach. I feel like I made the right decision in deciding to become an RN because I am a nurturer. There are...

  8. How do you deal with all the bickering and backstabbing at work?

    cammy429 replied to Dunno?'s topic in General Nursing

    I just try not to feed into that stuff. I have developed this attitude where I am not there to make friends. Its nice if everyone could be cordial but that's not the world that we live in. The last...

  9. Is there anything that you cannot handle as a Nurse?

    cammy429 replied to cammy429's topic in General Nursing

    See thats the thing, I have asked quite a bit of nurses and they've said suctioning as well. I've worked in pulmonary for a couple years and have seen some nasty sputum and it doesn't bother me at...

  11. question regarding NCLEX RN Results for NYS

    cammy429 replied to charming7680's topic in New York Nursing

    you can log on to that pearsonvue site and get yours results in two days. I dont remember the minimal fee but I remember it being less than $20. I dont remember how long it took to arrive via mail....

  12. Most RN's first borns?

    cammy429 replied to lvs2nrs3535's topic in General Nursing

    I'm an RN. First born child as well but neither of my parents are

  13. staffing

    cammy429 replied to dmaster's topic in New York Nursing

    IMO I think that they do try. I know when my unit has staffing issues they get out and recruit and hire new nurses. I have never seen a NYC hospital offer sign on or relocation bonuses though. People...

  14. LA or NYC

    cammy429 replied to dmaster's topic in New York Nursing

    U can probably find a studio for that price...to be honest it may even be more. Rent has sky rocketed in the area because the Nets are going to be moving there in the next couple years. Most apt...

  15. staffing

    cammy429 replied to dmaster's topic in New York Nursing

    I dont think it's to save a "buck". Hospitals know the impact that staff shortage has on patient care. Nurses quit and get hired all the time. It's definitely a shortage

  16. staffing

    cammy429 replied to dmaster's topic in New York Nursing

    I sent you a private message with more details but it was NY Presbyterian Cornell and yes I absolutely loved it. I moved out of state 5 months ago so I no longer work

  17. Group One background checks in Texas

    cammy429 replied to edgreen's topic in Texas Nursing

    I definitely agree with you. That's one of my gripes with nurses that I've worked with in Dallas, Texas. I have worked at 3 hospitals in 6 months (2 at one, 1 at another and 3 at my last). I moved...

  18. staffing

    cammy429 replied to dmaster's topic in New York Nursing

    I have heard up to 13 at NY methodist hospital. I am not sure how true that is. Based off of my experience, the ICU tries to stay btwn 2-3 patients. The MICU at my last hospital did 3 tops if they...

  19. I'm Hungry for more Nursing.....

    cammy429 replied to gt4everpn's topic in New York Nursing

    I remembered in Nursing school that the only thing that LPN's in NY state were not allowed to do was hang blood. What other restrictions do they have? I know a few hospitals have moved away from LPN's...

  20. LA or NYC

    cammy429 replied to dmaster's topic in New York Nursing

    This is my last post...promise... please do not move to the South Bronx...lol. NO offense to anyone that lives there. Brooklyn has much nicer neighborhoods than the Bronx will ever have. YOu can live...

  21. LA or NYC

    cammy429 replied to dmaster's topic in New York Nursing

    i think to us that live in any of the boroughs, we consider manhattan the city. but technically, nyc is all 5 boroughs combined. i am not trying to be a smart ass but this is an article from the...

  22. LA or NYC

    cammy429 replied to dmaster's topic in New York Nursing

    I thought DUMBO was a little area downtown brooklyn, I know I have seen the signs sometimes when crossing the bridge. I do agree that you should get rid of the car if you plan on moving to NY. A car...

  23. LA or NYC

    cammy429 replied to dmaster's topic in New York Nursing

    Its really hard to save money in NY. You have to budget really well. I am not sure about CA but not only does NY have federal taxes they have state and city also. Almost every paycheck I was getting...

  24. LA or NYC

    cammy429 replied to dmaster's topic in New York Nursing

    I have never worked in LA but i have a couple friends that have traveled in both LA and NYC and both of them said that CA on a whole is the best place that you can ever be a nurse. Matter of fact...

    cammy429 replied to edgreen's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thanks Kelly, it's still not 350 but I guess if they add in all the affiliated centers it very easily could
