  1. Market for New Grads in NY

    estrellaCR replied to coconutgirl14's topic in New York Nursing

    As a new grad, try other jobs besides hospital. It will take some time to find a hospital job, so just take other jobs such as in clinics, residential programs, community health, home care, etc so at...

  2. Who's Hiring for RN at NY?

    estrellaCR replied to gen_g06's topic in New York Nursing

    Can you also seek help from another staffing agency? It does not seem right that you have to stick with them if they cannot find you a job. I hope they are not making you pay them money right now...

  3. Accepted job at NYP-Cornell!

    estrellaCR replied to Ari RN's topic in New York Nursing

    Disregard the word preferred....why it is put on the NYP postings? No one knows. A friend and I applied to NYP postings that said "1 year preferred" several times when we had 8 and 9 months experience...

  4. PRN position offered, can i take it?

    estrellaCR replied to NurseXaviHearts's topic in New York Nursing

    Hi. Actually, I did not go to Montefiore. Montefiore took too long with their HR interviewing process (over 3 months) and while waiting I received an offer from an HHC hospital, KCH in Brooklyn so I...

    estrellaCR posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hi I am New Grad from January 2012 (I dont know if it counts a new grad still though). I been applying to hospitals since March 2012 after I took NCLEX and received my license. I have been on 4...

  6. Giving injections to babies

    estrellaCR replied to Dragonstrike's topic in General Nursing

    WIth small children, it is best to model the injection (of course with a syringe with no needle attached) on the child's favorite stuffed animal and allowing the child to play doctor/nurse. Depending...

  7. Kings County Hospital Pharmacology Test

    estrellaCR replied to avaloncar's topic in New York Nursing

    I took the exam 3 months ago and recently started working at KCHC. The calculations were easy in my opinion. The medication knowledge questions were challenging, had to know variety of meds and how...

    estrellaCR replied to kemifair's topic in New York Nursing

    kemifair, have you tried the previous hospital and acute care center you were NA at? Most hospitals/centers do not hesitate to hire or promote their own employees especially since you worked for them...

  9. hiring

    estrellaCR replied to kemifair's topic in New York Nursing

    You may need to try upstate New York or other states. NYC has a lot of applicants for not many jobs and US citizens get priority. You can easily get a job in another area of the United States or New...

  10. Ny presbyterian

    estrellaCR replied to kemifair's topic in New York Nursing

    When hospitals have a lot of applicants for few positions, they use any reason to weed people out including not having the corresponsing state's RN license. In NYP case you would get a pop up at the...

  11. Who's Hiring for RN at NY?

    estrellaCR replied to gen_g06's topic in New York Nursing

    I understand now. I think it is best for you to seek job outside NYC. NYC has a lot of applicants, and of course US citizens get priority for jobs and even so a lot of US citizens cannot get a nursing...

    estrellaCR replied to NurseXaviHearts's topic in New York Nursing

    Congratulations! Finally something...this job search was too long right? In my second week of orientation I got another job offer and then job interview call for another hospital. Really, now... Once...

  13. Why can't I get a job?! No seriously, why?

    estrellaCR replied to avaloncar's topic in New York Nursing

    It's so hard in NYC area because a lot of schools graduate many BSN grads a year and there are not enough jobs to absorb them all. In addition, hospitals are closing so the experienced RNs from those...

  14. Who's Hiring for RN at NY?

    estrellaCR replied to gen_g06's topic in New York Nursing

    I agree with Silverdragon, the agency has the responsibility to find you a job to interview for and to advocate for you to be hired. If your current agency isnt doing that you may need to look for...

  15. Any info on ny hosp queens??

    estrellaCR replied to nycnurse18's topic in New York Nursing

    I last applied to NYHQ in February, before I got my job offer at an NYC HHC hospital. I had applied via email, via fax and via online. They do post jobs on their website however they specify they want...

  17. Ny presbyterian

    estrellaCR replied to kemifair's topic in New York Nursing

    Kemifair, I can see now why the online system rejects your online application. Graduating 5 years ago is not considered a new grad as per most employer. I remembered when I applied online last year,...

  18. hiring

    estrellaCR replied to kemifair's topic in New York Nursing

    They only way for a foreign nurse to be hired at this time is if he or she goes through an agency. Jobs are scarce esp in NYC area so foreign nurses are not invested in unless a job agency sponsors...

  19. Who's Hiring for RN at NY?

    estrellaCR replied to gen_g06's topic in New York Nursing

    Since you are not citizen, I would advise you to find an agency that gets you a job. Ask among your country mates with jobs in the US what agencies helped them. I have a friend who came here with 5...

  20. hiring

    estrellaCR replied to kemifair's topic in New York Nursing

    Since March only? I understand it seems like a long time esp since most are made to believe RN jobs are plentiful, however not in NYC area. Most new grads have to wait over 6 months to find first...

  21. Who's hiring??

    estrellaCR replied to grateful77rn's topic in New York Nursing

    If you are an experienced RN, basically everywhere is hiring if you have recent work experience. NY Hospital Queens hires mostly experienced nurses only. NYC HHC hospitals are also hiring..new grads...

  25. New York Presbyterian

    estrellaCR replied to RNFromNY's topic in New York Nursing

    I applied last year and made it all the way to the battery/behavioral test but not to an interview. What I heard about new grad positions at Nyp is that they give internal candidates high priority. So...
