Hello all, As the subject indicates I did pass. 160 questions. 2 and half hours. I did well I suppose. I didn't prepare as much as some of my classmates, who were not as fortunate. I only did maybe 50q/day for about 3-4 weeks. I'm told the the HESI ...

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...

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 ...

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?

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 ...

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 ...

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 eventuall...

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....

Hey Blondie1887. I saw from your previous posts that you had something lined up in the Bronx. I was wondering what happened with that? I've also been applying everywhere but there really isn't much out there.

Hello all, I'm happy to say that I finally received my NY nursing license. I am bachelors prepared and ready to work. Does anyone have any suggestions of places to apply apply in the city or anywhere in the boroughs. Preferably a place that would ac...

Well would it be a good idea to just start working in a nursing home and then keep applying to a hospital jobs until you land one? It could be a while before you find something so it doesn't make sense to be idle during that time.

Well, do you have your BSN? New grad? Experience? How long have you been applying? Where have you been applying?

My apologies. Thank you. I appreciate your answer. I applied to all of the locations you listed over the past few days. I'm not willing to leave NYC so I don't think it would be necessary to apply upstate. Perhaps I would apply in Jersey, however I n...

Thanks I actually saw one for NYU next week I plan on attending. I was just curious if anyone had an idea of which hospitals hire new grads. A lot places I see require experience.

I took my NCLEX RN this afternoon at 1. It took me about 50 minutes when the computer shut off. Never had I been so certain that I bombed an exam. Half my test was SATA. I answered q 75 and was hoping it didn't shut off and sure enough it did. I drov...

Oh boy is that anxiety provoking. I'm pretty sure it's not indicative of a pass or a fail. You'll just have to wait 2 days for quick results, if you're able to in your state.

Thank you all very much. I'm so excite!!
