  1. Rex Healthcare FEB 2015 Residency

    NewYorkerGirl replied to wanderlustnursling's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Me too. NC is a hard nut to crack. I tried Vidant, UNC, Rex, Duke, and Novant (Winston-Salem and Charlotte), and heard nothing from all of

  3. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency 2015

    NewYorkerGirl replied to MrsMc's topic in School, College Programs

    They gave us until the 25th to respond. Maybe you're waitlisted until they know who's in and who's out. Good

  4. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency 2015

    NewYorkerGirl replied to MrsMc's topic in School, College Programs

    I got the same email before the application was open. They kept my email address from an email I sent in July, and that made me think they were really interested in me. Then I don't even get an...

    NewYorkerGirl replied to MrsMc's topic in School, College Programs

    Great! Are you going? I remember you from the Swedish Hospital thread, xpressel38. I was so devastated that I didn't even get an interview there. All forgotten now!!

  6. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency 2015

    NewYorkerGirl replied to MrsMc's topic in School, College Programs

    I know what you mean, the problem of being blessed with opportunity! Vandy made me an offer, but I already accepted a really good job that pays better. What to do, what to

  7. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency 2015

    NewYorkerGirl replied to MrsMc's topic in School, College Programs

    Sorry to hear that, Craig. CVICU is probably a really tough nut to crack in any hospital. You can always apply to Vandy after a year of experience at your current

  8. Novant New Grad Interview Day

    NewYorkerGirl posted a topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I'm excited to go to the new grad interview day in October for Novant. Anyone else going? Is there anyone who works for Novant who has advice for me? I can't

    NewYorkerGirl replied to prg569's topic in Florida Nursing

    I've lived in the Tampa area for 11 years. I really dislike Tampa, but I like St. Pete, Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch, and Venice. I hope to move away soon, because 9 months of humidity and summer a year...

    $30. (Now I'm typing more words here because it told me message too

  12. Getting your Florida License via Endorsement: A Detailed How-To Guide

    NewYorkerGirl replied to NurseNightOwl's topic in Florida Nursing

    That's republican privatization for you. FL is full of it. I got a license in WA and fingerprints were $15, background check was a part of the $88 application fee, no middle-man. In FL, $85 (thanks...

  13. Sarasota Hospitals

    NewYorkerGirl replied to prg569's topic in Florida Nursing

    If you're coming to FL, you might want to switch specialties. There's not a lot of psych jobs. FL is one of the many red states that didn't expand Medicaid, so psych care is lacking. Think old people:...

    NewYorkerGirl replied to khood's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Yuck, that's what I was offered in FL with no experience. Maybe the COL makes up for it? Thanks for

  15. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency 2015

    NewYorkerGirl replied to MrsMc's topic in School, College Programs

    True. But the wait really is unreasonable. If they want someone who's going to sit around patiently and do nothing, that's not me. I'm a go-getter, a worker bee, ambitious. If a recruiter sees this, I...

  16. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency 2015

    NewYorkerGirl replied to MrsMc's topic in School, College Programs

    I feel like it would be bad karma to back out of the job, but I won't be able to say no to Vandy. It's awful they make us wait so long. Were we really supposed to not apply anywhere else, living in...

  17. vanderbilt pay/benefits

    NewYorkerGirl replied to khood's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Sorry to say, but a lot of people have asked this question here and not received an answer. I've looked because I applied for the residency program. Please let us know if you find out, we're all...

  18. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency 2015

    NewYorkerGirl replied to MrsMc's topic in School, College Programs

    Congrats! What were you offered? Today (Nov 7th) was the last day for interviews, at least in acute care. I think I'll call you-know-who next Friday to try to push for an answer. I haven't signed my...

  19. Why is Nursing not in the top ten most stressful jobs for 2014!

    NewYorkerGirl replied to chiefaics's topic in General Nursing

    I always report those reviews when I see them. Usually they get removed. It is not ok to list anyone's name in a review. My favorites are the ones like "I sat in the ER for 10 hours! Nurse ___ didn't...

  20. Penn State Residency: Hershey Medical Center 2015

    NewYorkerGirl replied to NewYorkerGirl's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I was supposed to interview today, but I landed another job so I cancelled. How was the med calculation test? Good luck

  21. Emailing Nursing Recruiters?

    NewYorkerGirl replied to luckyberries's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I emailed them to follow up on applications when I didn't get an answer, or to update them when I received my license. It scored me one interview, so it's worth a

  22. Why is Nursing not in the top ten most stressful jobs for 2014!

    NewYorkerGirl replied to chiefaics's topic in General Nursing

    No one in healthcare made the list. How about surgeons? Anesthesiologists? Are they less stressful because of income growth potential? I don't understand how $$$ makes a job less stressful. Life in...

  23. What are is your weakness? Interview question

    NewYorkerGirl replied to _maarcb's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    That doesn't work for everyone. I just got a job using reheorificed answers. I was asked almost all the same questions before, and my on-the-spot answers didn't get me the jobs. So I wrote out essays...

  24. If you could change one thing in your career what would it be..

    NewYorkerGirl replied to dixieyid305's topic in Florida Nursing

    Well, yes, people need to make money. Salaries, building maintenance, equipment, it all costs money. I think we need insurance to be non-profit: shareholders shouldn't exist, profit margins shouldn't...

  25. What color are your scrubs?

    NewYorkerGirl replied to Iliauna's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Navy nurses, and gray tech. Looks like a rainy day at our hospital! You would think a hospital would allow us to wear bright, happy colors to cheer the patients up. What is the evidence-based reason...
