I just graduated in May, recently passed the NCLEX, and am now applying to positions but haven't had any call backs yet I just wanted to know how other NY new grads are doing in their search for a job. Have you gone on any interviews? Already workin...

Thanks! Good luck to you too

Hey! Thanks for your reply. I passed the med exam, it wasn't bad at all. Ill be starting on 4monti at NSUH next month. How about you?

Hi! I was wondering If you could tell me what the pharm exam was like. Was yours online too? The nurse recruiter said it was basic stuff but I'm still nervous to take it. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Hi bjorklover, I moved up to albany in November of last year because of the tough job market for RNs in the city. Once I got my six months of experience I started applying to jobs downstate and after about a month of applying I got three callbacks! I...

Hi, sorry I don't have any information about the pharm exam but I have an interview this week with ny downtown and just wanted to know if you could share some information about the interview process, I would really appreciate it if you could! This is...

Lol wow!! And yea email me, I'll be on the lookout :)

I know! I never thought I would have to move for a job I live in Queens. I don't have a facebook but I sent you a pm with my email if you want to email me :)

Wow thank you so much!! You made me feel so much better! Since it's a hospital interview, I have been imagining that they would ask tricky and complex questions but I feel a lot less nervous now! I'm excited to visit the area, I hope i'll love it too...

Hey that's great! Sounds like surgical will offer you the position pending references and background check. I'll be leaving Sunday for my interview on Monday and am so nervous!! Did they ask you difficult questions? I'm most nervous about behavioral ...

Thanks!! Its Oct.15, I hope it goes well!

Oh I thought the HR woman said SICU but i guess it was SCU. I would be happy to work in either though!

I got called for an interview! I'll be interviewing with the nurse managers of the ICU and SICU. I'm so excited! Yayy!! :)

I'm sure you'll do well! An hour long interview sounds nerve-wracking but they will probably take you on a tour and have you meet the staff of each floor so I'm sure it won't be so bad! Anyways, good luck! Let me know how it goes!

That's great!! I guess I didn't do too well :/ That's exciting for you though!!

How did your interview go?? Did she invite you for a second interview?

Good Luck !! I'm sure you'll do well!! Let me know how it goes :)

Yes she was nice. It was difficult because I didn't expect those type of questions, but at least I was able to come up with a response and didn't completely blank! She didn't ask about strengths or weaknesses. It was a short interview, about 20mins m...

Sent you a pm!

Oh sure, I thought the PM wasn't sent because of the whole maintenance going on this past weekend! Anyways, sure I will let you know! Check your inbox on Wednesday

My interview is on Wednesday, how about yours? I've done some research on the hospital and it sounds like it would be a great place for a new grad. But I probably won't take the position if offered because it's a very rural area. I don't know how i'l...

I also have a phone interview with Bassett Medical Center next week! I'm really excited, its my first hospital interview so I could definitely use some advice too!

Thanks Cait720 for your reply! $21/hr is pretty low but I would be willing to take it if they offered me a position. I have no prior healthcare experience so I know finding a hospital job here in nyc will be nearly impossible for me . I am hoping AMC...

Hi Cait720, Im a new grad RN living im nyc and have also had a hard time finding a job here. I applied to AMC recently and just wanted to know if you had any prior healthcare experience or did any externships. I have only done volunteer work and just...

I started doing volunteer work in May since I had absolutely no experience but it hasn't helped. I volunteer in a hospital and at blood drives around nyc. I was hesitant about signing up with a hospital because they do require a time commitment and t...
