How much does it pay?

It's super hard to find work in NYC. I have my bachelors and it took me 5 months to find something.. In JERSEY! I found a job at a good hospital there so I said I'll take it. The commute isn't bad. Just shy of an hour no traffic. Still I knew I wasn't going to get lucky in NYC. After so long of applying I was actually going to drive up to Albany for an interview. Good thing the place in jersey called me before I got there. But that's how desperate I was getting. It does take a while though for your applications to even be considered. After I accepted the NJ position I ended up getting a cal from LIJ and kings county. I know ! That sucks. But I'm sticking with my jersey job. My advice is to be patient but to also explore other options. Practice interviewing A LOT. Apply to all the hospitals and keep your eyes open for open houses and new grad positions. They do exist. Good luck. I hope you find something.

Oh yea I actually saw that. I have to write the essay for it when I have time. Well as long as you think you did the best you could. Interviews really do suck though.

Oh because I saw one recently and I believe it was only for experienced nurses. I guess perhaps it was different but I do wish you luck on your interview. They may still be deliberating and it always takes a while for the ball to get moving. How do you think you did during your interview? What kinds of questions did they ask?

Were new grads able to apply?

I don't interview well in groups. It brings me out of focus for what I want to say. And man did they try to get us out asap.

I don't think I have heard of this event. How were you able to be invited OP?

Thank you. I will do my best to remember all of those tips. As long as the clinical questions are straightforward I think I have a shot. There's something about meeting with the head of nursing that makes me quiver. I honestly did not even expect to get a second interview.

Hello! I am a new graduate nursing student. I am happy to say I got an second interview with my dream hospital. I am meeting with the director of nursing and Vice President of nursing. I'm very nervous because I want to make a good impression. I did well on the pharm test. The HR rep seemed to like me which is why she decided I should have a second interview. She told me that on my second interview, they like to ask clinical situation questions. What should I expect going into that interview and how can I best prepare? Any tips are appreciated. Thank you!

I wore a suit and got a second interview. I'd like to think it helped.

Hey can you tell me what the second interview was like? I would really appreciate it :)

Wow and I just found out about NYHQ. That's depressing for me :/

My apologies. It shows the most recent so I guess that why I missed it. I haven't gotten any calls back. Almost every hospital wants experience so it's just one big catch-22. I fill out everything I can find so maybe something will turn up eventually.

Also helps to have my BSN. Though I'm not sure about the fact that I'm a man. Her friend got the job in NJ somewhere. I think you'll find something eventually. It does take some time. You didn't mention anything about that Bronx clinic.

Yea I've been looking about the same amount of time. Well I mean it took my sisters friend 6 months to get her job and she has her asn. I'm also on linked in, trying to line something up. If it takes a little longer to get a call then that's alright. It's early in the search, I suppose.
