  1. Comparable pay to NY??

    NewYorkerGirl replied to VCRN84's topic in Florida Nursing

    Everyone has a BSN. ADN's have to get them in most hospitals within 5 years, so that doesn't give you an advantage. Get a certification in whatever your area of nursing is, and do some leadership...

  2. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency 2015

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

    I'm horrible at interviewing too. I'm so jealous of the people who only need 1 or 2 interviews to get a job. What's their secret??!! I have to go to interview after interview until I've collected...

  3. I pushed my call light 3 seconds ago, what took you so long?

    NewYorkerGirl replied to Joe V's topic in Medical-Surgical

    My favorite is when they demand to see the nurse, and refuse to state why. We repeatedly ask what we can do for them, or what can someone bring you, but they MUST SEE THE NURSE! Then I get there and...

  4. awful pt assignment or the norm?

    NewYorkerGirl replied to maybug's topic in Medical-Surgical

    My preceptorship hospital had 8-10 med-surg patients for 1 nurse. 1 CNA had the whole floor: up to 30 patients each! Secretary, what's that?? My step down unit went to 7 some nights, trach/total care...

  5. Ulcerative Colitis

    NewYorkerGirl replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in School

    You are awesome school nurses to think about a 504 for college dorms! I left college because I couldn't share a bathroom w/3 other girls, it was too embarrassing (I developed IBS my 1st year of...

  10. Legacy RN Versant Residency 2015 Winter

    NewYorkerGirl replied to Valhalla050's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I ended up canceling my interview with them. I really can't afford to fly all the way out there and not get the job. Good luck to all of

  11. To Nursing Students from a Clinical Instructor

    NewYorkerGirl replied to Can'tdragmeaway's topic in General Students

    True. It seems hiring managers and HR are looking for that bubbly, cheerleader type of personality. When they say they want diversity, they don't mean diverse

  12. starting pay

    NewYorkerGirl replied to wayemika's topic in Florida Nursing

    FL is a huge state. The closer you get to Alabama and GA the lower the pay, usually, and bigger cities will offer more pay. You'd get better answers by giving us a city. Sarasota Memorial just upped...

    NewYorkerGirl replied to Maacanto's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Anyone heard anything for 2015

  14. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency 2015

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

    Me too. Not the CVICU part, that's the last job on earth I'd want, lol! I mean the acute care part. The good news is I was told there's usually a "good amount" of those jobs open. Hopefully we both...

  15. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency 2015

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

    Ah, I fell in love with Nashville. Those Smoky Mountains were something else! Steep as heck! Watch out east coasters who are driving to Nashville. I took a different road on the way home and it turned...

  16. Swedish Nurse residency- jan-feb cohort 2015

    NewYorkerGirl replied to walad's topic in Washington Nursing

    Yeah, I interviewed with Vanderbilt two weeks ago. I've applied many, many times to multiple WA hospitals and have had no calls for interviews, except Legacy, so I have quit looking in WA. I think...

  17. Novant New Grad Interview Day

    NewYorkerGirl replied to NewYorkerGirl's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Terrible. Not worth the trip. For future nurses: They have tables with nurse managers from different units. You make a mad dash for the ones you want. You have about an hour and a half. I was able to...

  18. NICU residency interview

    NewYorkerGirl posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Hello, I finally landed a PICU/NICU interview! Yea! Unfortunately, I have no experience beyond 2 clinical days in PICU/NICU since they weren't an option for my preceptorship: the hospitals in my area...

  19. Have we all thought about??

    NewYorkerGirl replied to babyNP.'s topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Personally I wish allnurses would delete threads older than 5 years. When I run a search, info from 2001 or 2005 isn't going to help me. We lived in a different country back then. So I often just post...

  20. NICU residency interview

    NewYorkerGirl replied to NewYorkerGirl's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    No, I haven't done PALS or NRP yet. I don't have time between now and the interview, either. I wasn't expecting to get a NICU interview, I applied because I figure what the heck? Might as well try....

  23. Legacy RN Versant Residency 2015 Winter

    NewYorkerGirl replied to Valhalla050's topic in Oregon Nursing

    The deadline to submit was Monday. I was hoping to get an e-mail that my application was complete, but I haven't heard

  24. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency 2015

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

    One of the good things about having clinical at a bad hospital is I know all the warning signs, and I learned no amount of pay is worth your mental health. My clinical site was top-down management,...

  25. Vanderbilt Nurse Residency 2015

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

    Well, they'll tell you once a New Yorker, always a New Yorker! I left 11 years ago, and I'm still called that girl from NY. I've accepted my status as a damn Yankee. I love to visit, but I could...
