    Good Afternoon to all, Today was supposed to be a happy day for me. I was scheduled to take my CNOR exam, I showed up to the facility an hour early. Began the check in process, presented my...

  2. Nurse Aide/Attendant at NYP- chances of getting hired after BSN & NCLEX?

    StacyAtheNurse replied to slsu's topic in Nursing Career

    If you are a good PCA, they will hire you. If you are bad, they might hire you, but probably not on the floor you worked on since your manager would already know you're a crap employee. Good thing is...

  4. New York Presbyterian Pre-employment drug screen?

    StacyAtheNurse replied to Tardius Cheekto's topic in New York Nursing

    Yup stay away from that. You'd hate to get caught up in something and need to get drug tested to clear your name. I work for NYP and had a patient siphon dilaudid out of a PCA on two shifts I was...

  5. NYP The Allen Hospital

    StacyAtheNurse replied to nursechini's topic in New York Nursing

    I wish I could be more specific but it's kind of just exactly what I said lol. It's a hardcore place to work. The patients are hardcore the staff is hardcore the residents are hardcore, the acuity is...

  6. NYP The Allen Hospital

    StacyAtheNurse replied to nursechini's topic in New York Nursing

    They pay at Allen and Columbia is the same. They are part of a bargaining collective. Only Cornell has a higher pay rate (by you end up paying for more stuff out of pocket). I've worked at all three....

  7. From Stepdown to Interventional Radiology

    StacyAtheNurse posted a topic in Critical Care

    So as the title reads, I am a Stepdown nurse working at one of the biggest hospitals in New York City. I love the craziness of my job but I also despise how unorganized the system is set up because it...

  8. From Stepdown to Interventional Radiology

  10. Choosing a state to work in

    StacyAtheNurse posted a topic in General Students

    Ok, so I'd like to know your opinion. My senior year is now coming to a close. (I made it!!! YAY!) I am originally from NYC, and other than my fiance, I have no one in Florida. I currently attend a...

  11. Choosing a state to work in

    StacyAtheNurse replied to StacyAtheNurse's topic in General Students

    Ha. Reading this...... In hindsight, being with my family was worth more than any job could have given me. Because while i love my hospital job i absolutely HATE my life

  12. Nurses are Not Doctors

    StacyAtheNurse replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I often find that the re-occurring point of debate between an MD and an NP is the amount of time dedicated to study. As someone who wanted to be a doctor but started as a nurse and is now considering...

  13. How to Resign

    StacyAtheNurse posted a topic in General Students

  14. How to Resign

    StacyAtheNurse replied to StacyAtheNurse's topic in General Students

    No I did not sign a commitment. They want me to come in to sign the contract and I have conveniently made myself unavailable for the days they requested I come in. Ok. Well, tonight is the night If...

  15. Does CNA job helps in Nursing School?

    StacyAtheNurse replied to Rn 1979's topic in General Students

    I graduated 2 months ago, and in my state's economy, where new grads cannot find a job, I was offered 4 jobs on the spot without a license and the one thing ALL the nurse managers said? You were a CNA...

  16. Pharmacology - What is the hardest part to get a grasp on before starting?

    StacyAtheNurse replied to MizMaverick's topic in General Students

    hardest thing for me was learning to say the words. My mind is great at recognition but I have to able to say it to recall it. Find out how the drugs are pronounced, and you've won one battle in the...

  17. Avoiding patients hitting on you

    StacyAtheNurse replied to Kitkat1212's topic in General Students

    So I've been a PCT for 5 years and now work as a nurse, men CONSTANTLY hit on me or are just outright disrespectful (asking for BJs or what look like without clothes), and I even had one strange...

  18. How to Resign

    StacyAtheNurse replied to StacyAtheNurse's topic in General Students

    So I have 6 more days left on this schedule. 2 weeks. Should I give her my resignation now and keep working? Or do I do it on my last day? I am per diem. I just hate to have to explain over, and over...

    StacyAtheNurse posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Took NCLEX at 1130 am today and OMG, it's something I'm sure everyone has heard already, but NCLEX was THE absolute hardest exam I've ever taken in my life. It went off at 75Q and I had been hoping...

    StacyAtheNurse replied to Austincb's topic in Florida Nursing

    Its important to note it IS more expensive to live here so any more north than jupiter might get you something lower. Also that is for days. My friend was hired in Miami on nights at 29/hr with diff...
