  1. Stony Brook's Hiring Process

    bloodorange replied to tigralvovna's topic in New York Nursing

    Hey, this is way after you asked, but I think the starting salary is around $69k for a new nurse before night differential. Pretty sure SBUH realized they needed to even out the salary discrepancy...

  2. Taking pre-reqs at CUNY as a part time matriculated student

    bloodorange replied to TAG1993's topic in New York Nursing

    Hey there! I took most of my pre-reqs at BMCC as a part-time matriculated transfer student. It was definitely advantageous to be matriculated - we got to register earlier, and I think it might have...

    bloodorange replied to TheArchitect's topic in New York Nursing

    Classes and/or clinical are pretty much every day (M-F; some people have clinicals on Saturday or Sunday, depending on clinical site). We got a week off in August, which did not feel like enough at...

  4. Stony Brook Accelerated Nursing Class of 2016

    bloodorange replied to TheArchitect's topic in New York Nursing

    Complicated question! It's hard to "like" an accelerated nursing program. It's a huge grind. I'm glad I'm here -- is that good enough of an

  5. Stony Brook Accelerated Nursing Class of 2016

    bloodorange replied to TheArchitect's topic in New York Nursing

    Good luck, everyone! I'm in the program right now, and it's quite the... intense experience. (heh!) I wouldn't worry about the interview. Perhaps they tried it once and aren't sure whether to do it...

    bloodorange replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nurses Rock

    Of course that's true; it's also true that mental illness doesn't discriminate based on class. The rich have better resources, but the underlying condition still

  7. Help... im about to give up :(

    bloodorange replied to xhelenaaax's topic in New York Nursing

    Hunter is extremely strict about their requirements, and I don't think they allow any retakes. Definitely ask before you

    bloodorange replied to gwenzilla's topic in New York Nursing

    I'm not sure Hunter allows any retakes in the pre-requisites for the nursing program, but you should definitely call the Nursing Department office and

  9. Stony Brook Nursing Basic BSN Fall 2013 applicants

    bloodorange replied to akaur_2010's topic in New York Nursing

    No, it's an accelerated BSN for second-degree (non-RN) students. I know SBU also has an RN-to-BSN program, but don't know the

  10. Stony Brook Nursing Basic BSN Fall 2013 applicants

    bloodorange replied to akaur_2010's topic in New York Nursing

    I'm going into the 1-year program (starting next month!), but I'm quite sure you don't need Organic Chem for Stony. Hunter is...

  11. Question for night-shift and/or weekend nurses

    bloodorange posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello, all! I'm curious about your workplace's practices for those of you who work nights and/or weekends. (I'm about to enter an ABSN program and anticipate that I'll work these kinds of shifts upon...

  12. Millennials in the workplace

    bloodorange replied to ktwlpn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You know, I'm pretty sure this isn't actually a generational thing, but a natural variation in work ethic that exists within every generation. As if we don't know lazy/entitled people of all ages (and...

    bloodorange replied to newgrad1988's topic in General Nursing

    As an unlucky one-time recipient of a Rocephin IM injection, I hope it had lidocaine in

    bloodorange replied to Emer1234's topic in New York Nursing

    What are you all doing in the meantime between your capstone ending and graduation/boards? Anyone lining up new grad residency spots? Working as techs?

  16. Stony Brook Accelerated Nursing Class of 2015

    bloodorange replied to spiritedkidd's topic in New York Nursing

    I'm not sure how it works for those accepted off the wait list, but those of us who were accepted "normally" got, I believe, 10 days to

  17. Stony Brook Accelerated Nursing Class of 2015

    bloodorange replied to spiritedkidd's topic in New York Nursing

    Hey sylbee - orientation is from 6/17-6/20 and classes start on 6/23. Not sure about the wait-list notifications, though,

  18. Stony Brook Accelerated Nursing Class of 2015

    bloodorange replied to spiritedkidd's topic in New York Nursing

    Hi NesSa87 - yes, I'm going into the SBU program this year. It's a little hard to quantify my application strengths, but, for example, I have a previous B.A. from a top liberal-arts school (in 2005),...

    bloodorange replied to nija315's topic in General Students

    B.A. in Studio Art. No regrets (well, maybe a

  20. Stony Brook Accelerated Nursing Class of 2015

    bloodorange replied to spiritedkidd's topic in New York Nursing

    Hey NesSa87 - I think SBU cares a lot more about your character than about your GPA (as long as it's above a certain level). Write a kick-butt essay, present your passion to pursue nursing, brush up...

  21. Moving to Brooklyn- need some advice!

    bloodorange replied to Future_Brooklyn_RN's topic in New York Nursing

    It's going to be really, really difficult to find a hospital job in Brooklyn as a new grad. (sorry to be a downer!) Look into the HHC facilities (NYC public hospitals) and Kings County Hospital for...

  22. New York Methodist Interview Process

    bloodorange replied to moleskine44's topic in New York Nursing

    My impression of NYM hiring for new grads is that they're really only going to hire a new grad if: a) said new grad has been working as a tech at NYM for a while, OR maybe did a nursing externship at...

  24. 3/6 months... quitting the job...

    bloodorange replied to nichefinder's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Absolutely. FNPs are going to be in the most demand in public health, and in underserved communities, not in imaginary swanky clinics where the clients are wealthy, fit, and never complain or say rude...

  25. Unions protest 100m hospital donation

    bloodorange replied to mhy12784's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    OK, let's be real, NYP is a huge not-for-profit system that isn't going to start changing their care strategies because of a big donor. NYC is full of "big donors." The Kochs are just extra repugnant,...
