  1. New grads in the ER?

    estrellaCR replied to dee789's topic in New York Nursing

    GoVeg, we are all in this to give advice to the OP. But instead you are here to say anyone who says a new grad is hired into the ER is wrong and "heard wrong or made up things". These new grads that...

  6. Frustrated :(

    estrellaCR replied to katie6126's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  7. Frustrated :(

    estrellaCR replied to katie6126's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  10. LIJ January Critical Care Fellowship

    estrellaCR replied to NYNewGradNurse's topic in New York Nursing

  14. NYU or Stony Brook Accelerated Nursing?

    estrellaCR replied to foodie3921's topic in New York Nursing

    You can also try traditional BSN programs, they will admit you as a student even if you have a BA. The only difference is you will graduate a semester later than Accelerated. Stony Brook is excellent...

  15. Nursing programs if you already have a BA

    estrellaCR replied to talkinghead82's topic in New York Nursing
