I'm an experienced emergency RN considering a fresh start in the Twin Cities! I'm originally from Wisconsin but have spent some time in the larger metros of LA/NYC/Denver. With my past jobs sometimes it's been tough to make friends with coworkers due...

Bump! Anyone have any input on this?

Your knowledge and advice is greatly appreciated. I'm moving from NYC to LA May 1st, 2017. I've thoroughly paged through the forums, but haven't found much information on ER jobs in LA County. I have friends in the Hollywood/West LA area, but I'm ope...

Thanks for the replies. My girlfriend works in TV/film, so Los Angeles is the only option (besides NYC). And honestly, anywhere in the United States has a better cost of living than Manhattan. My current rent is $3,700 for a 1-BR apartment on the Upp...

Glad I could help. Many of my comments are tailored to ERs here in New York City. Although I wasn't impressed with Cornell or Columbia's Emergency Department, I have heard good things about the medical centers as a whole (ie the inpatient side may be...

Wow, I'm getting deja vu from your post! I'm an ER nurse with 3 years experience (BSN & CEN) that moved to NYC in March. Needless to say, I have lots of advice to offer you. Where to start, how about this: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?m...

Have y'all heard about the new TV show MTV is working on titled 'Nurse Nation'!? I don't have the quote from Entertainment Weekly, but it reads something like "a docuseries thay follows 9 young hard-partying travel nurses as they explore a new city f...

I already have my BSN so I'm not much help. But I can tell you it's rather hard without 2 years RN experience (many networks won't fully consider your app until you have this). My advice would be to start applying now and see if you get calls back &a...

HR works on their schedule for these NYC hospitals. When you expect to get a response in three weeks, it'll take four or five. Just keep submitting apps and don't get discouraged. Critical care in NYC=critical care experience required. NYP won't even...

Good luck with the interview! I don't have any helpful advice, but I wanted to say I feel your pain! I started applying in NYC in June 2012 and saying it's been hard would be an understatement. NY Downtown hospital, 128 beds, non-union. I remember fi...

Hey y'all, any new updates regarding the fellowships? Are they still interviewing/hiring for a potential Jan/Feb start date? And for those that missed the boat like myself, anyone receive information regarding the next start date, something like June...

No, not yet. I had a shot at NYU's Emergency Department, but Hurricane Sandy literally destroyed the ED (now they function as urgent care). I'm pursuing one more NYC hospital, but if that fails I'll be looking west. I wanted to jump from trauma floor...

Hey, thought I'd share my personal experience. I posted the info below in another thread, but maybe it'll help you. There are a lot more hospitals than you'd think, all with manageable commutes from Penn Station: "Hello all those looking for a nursin...

I feel your pain! Dealing with HR with these NYC hospitals is stressful. In my opinion, I think you're still in the running, they're just taking their sweet time getting back to you. Things seem to be especially difficult post-Sandy, with many hospit...

Hello all those looking for a nursing job in New York City! I've been searching for months, and thought it was about time to share my thoughts and wisdom. Below is my map & extensive hospital spreadsheet: https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=2088...

Thank you for sharing and congratulations! Your post speaks truth about the struggles of sobriety. It's a much-needed reminder of what one stands to gain from quitting.

Exactly my point DoGoodThenGo. It's a harsh reality for unemployed RNs in New York City, and this website really shines some light on the situation. After reading so many 'struggling new grad' threads, I felt the need to post something. Hell, I would...

And if you're wondering my story, here it goes! I'm a 2011 grad that's been working as a trauma floor RN at a large Midwest teaching hospital (Trauma Level I). I have my BSN, ACLS, TNCC, NY RN license, high GPA, and still no NYC RN job! Soon I'll hav...

I know they filled the ED fellowship, not certain about the critical care one...

I don't know if you've heard, but they filled the fellowship spots. They only had two, and they filled them internally...
