  1. "For Profit" vs. "Non Profit" employers?

    mhy12784 replied to Nola009's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    There are doctors at non profit hospitals who can afford 6 million dollar houses. Should they take a huge pay cut too ? An organization isnt going to pay someone big bucks unless they deem them worth...

  2. No reply from nurse-manager

    mhy12784 replied to vintage_RN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Its going to be different everywhere, but some nurse managers are INCREDIBLY bad with their emails. Im not sure if theyre just busy, or they get so many people from people asking about jobs, but its...

  3. Stony Brook Accelerated Nursing Class of 2015

    mhy12784 replied to spiritedkidd's topic in New York Nursing

    Well my capstone was in an ICU that also doesnt hire new grads. I didnt know all this when I chose mine. but I ended up working at another hospital entirely. Theres definitely enough time to shine at...

  4. Stony Brook Accelerated Nursing Class of 2015

    mhy12784 replied to spiritedkidd's topic in New York Nursing

    The biggest reason is the NY economy. Its really tough for nurses right now, and Stony Brook only hires so many people. They try to give their own jobs, but with the new healthcare law and economy...

  5. Background check, drug testing, and all that

    mhy12784 replied to mhy12784's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hmm I just got a call tonight from the lab, asking me a ton of questions about whether im on Codeine or Morphine. And if I have a script for either. Never had either. Guy said that my levels were low...

  6. New Grad Relocating from SF to NYC

    mhy12784 replied to bmdbmd's topic in New York Nursing

    Id agree with this completely. NY is very very hard for new grads atm, I wouldnt be surprised if it took close to or over a year to get a job. That said if you have to do the move, I STRONGLY suggest...

  7. Stony Brook Accelerated Nursing Class of 2015

    mhy12784 replied to spiritedkidd's topic in New York Nursing

    Did you try applying to the "2 year" ? Its less competitive than the 1 year, I didnt get into the 1 year when I applied and ended up in the 2 year. Ended up loving it. Smart money is on always...

  8. Stony Brook Accelerated Nursing Class of 2015

    mhy12784 replied to spiritedkidd's topic in New York Nursing

    Its pretty much your one cohort all together, although they split you up for peds/ob. Id say 75-85 for classes that are JUST your program ( JUST 1 year or 2 years) but ones where youre combined can be...

  9. Stony Brook Accelerated Nursing Class of 2015

    mhy12784 replied to spiritedkidd's topic in New York Nursing

    I doubt anyone knows for sure. This is the first year that Stony Brook started doing the interviews, so id imagine its a learning curve for everyone involved. And as someone who graduated the...

  10. Stony Brook Accelerated Nursing Class of 2015

    mhy12784 replied to spiritedkidd's topic in New York Nursing

    Safe to say, I think I know what floor youre on lol Im surprised that only 2 of 5 were hired though. Several DEU classmates of mine were told by nursing leadership that they wanted to hire them before...

  11. Stony Brook Accelerated Nursing Class of 2015

    mhy12784 replied to spiritedkidd's topic in New York Nursing

    DEU students dont really get "normal" interviews. They all got half assed interviews, with people they did their clinicals with, so they dont get many/any in depth questions. For instance a non DEU...

  12. How do you feel about new grads going for their np with little experience?

    mhy12784 replied to garn12's topic in General Nursing

    I dont think its a big deal especially if they are working while going to school. I mean you have 1 year of work, then 3-4 years of school + work So theyll be an NP with 5~ years of bedside nursing...

  13. Stony Brook Accelerated Nursing Class of 2015

    mhy12784 replied to spiritedkidd's topic in New York Nursing

    I dont know if you already picked your capstone/medsurge but I STRONGLY recommend choosing a a DEU at Stony Brook as it virtually guarantees you a job upon graduation. I graduated this recent May and...

  16. Mather Hospital?

    mhy12784 replied to mhy12784's topic in New York Nursing

    I didnt, I just applied and they called me. When I asked what floor they said all new graduate RNs have to do a 6 month new grad program/fellowship before they get assigned to the floor. I honestly...

  17. Mather Hospital?

    mhy12784 replied to mhy12784's topic in New York Nursing

    Thats what worries me, especially since its a Magnet hospital so the odds are even more against me. Definitely the best opportunity im going to get

  18. Stony Brook Accelerated Nursing Class of 2015

    mhy12784 replied to spiritedkidd's topic in New York Nursing

    Two year, but it overlaps with the one year. The 2nd year of the 2 year you share many of your classes with the one years. OB, peds, pharm, med surge and several

  19. Stony Brook Accelerated Nursing Class of 2015

    mhy12784 replied to spiritedkidd's topic in New York Nursing

    By far the best thing about the program is your classmates. Relying and bonding with them will definitely make the biggest difference between you loving the program and how much you will get out of...

    Its NY, the whole state is crap for nursing atm. I graduated in May from a BSN program, and over half my program hasnt even gotten interviews yet anywhere. Several of the major hospitals have hiring...

    Mind sharing the job/agency you took ? Im a new grad in NY, and cant even get an interview. Something that sets me up for management down the road is something that is incredibly interesting to me (I...

  23. Neuro vs Stroke Unit ?

    mhy12784 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hello, I have been told by a nurse manager that I may have a choice between a neuro unit, and a stroke unit (not certain to get the job, but a good chance) They are both in the same hospital and run...

    mhy12784 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    What would be a good choice for my first nursing job? I talked to someone at a local hospital, and they were very impressed with my resume/grades. They told me I could probably get into any unit thats...
