I came here to vent and get other’s opinions... When I was hired at my current facility they explained that call was for inpatient urgent or emergent cases. Now my unit is scheduling Saturday outpatients (15 cases) and is requiring the call team to c...

Looking for input from nurses on other endoscopy units. We have a mostly self-contained unit with our own pre-op and phase II recovery. Our general anesthesia patients go to the main PACU. However, they (PACU) want us to start recovering our own gene...

Thank you KP for such an awesome reply. I will definitely take your advice ?

We do more than just egd/colons. We get some very sick patients so not every one is an easy sedation. Mostly patients will be intubated for first time ERCPs, EBUS cases and some other Bronchs depending on anesthesia and pulmonary preferences. Stretta...

And my original post should have said that we average 8 or 9 inpatients for weekend call. So the outpatients would be on top of that. But, we aren’t supposed to have overtime!!! Lol

Yes very stupid, but the issue is they want us to become phase 1. We don’t have the time or space for it, even if our nurses get trained properly. We have 6 PACU bays am do an average of 30 outpatients. When we work PACU we barely have time to move o...

I can’t even begin to express how frustrating the whole situation has become. We are a self-contained unit and do our own pre op and pacu. So 15 outpatients on a Saturday requires a whole team of people, not just a call team. The call team should not...

You are right. What I mean is phase 1 recovery. So patients intubated and received succs, gas, and propofol.

Hi All! Just wanted to start a post on salaries in NYC for those who are job searching or considering a switch. I just switched from a medical center outside the city to NYU Langone. I went from making a base of 66,500 to 89,500. There is also an OR ...

Thanks for the responses! I chose MD Anderson. Seems like the best choice! (besides the commute í ½í¸•)

Hello, I am interviewing at different hospitals (all for endoscopy 💩)in Houston and have been offered positions at two hospitals: MD Anderson and St Joseph Med Center. I have further interviews at two others: Houston Methodist and Memorial Herman...

They didn't include anything on tuition reimbursement on the information they sent me. I'm not planning on going back to school anytime soon, so for me it's not that important. If I find out that information I will let you know. Does anyone think tha...

Thank you for the response. Where are you commuting from that it would be 2 hours? With traffic in rush hour could it be two hours from Spring? That's not a good quality of life, even for good benefits...

Will be living in close proximity to spring, that's where my parents are. I have two interviews coming up in the woodlands and humble. Trying to get an interview at Houston Methodist willowbrook since that would be the closest. Since I already have t...

I am considering relocating to Houston with my family in the near future. I would want to live in northwest Houston as that is where my parents live. I don't really want to commute downtown. Are there children's hospitals in north Houston or within a...

Thank you! Reasonable commute to me would be 30 minutes, so the Woodlands would be great! Now I just need to convince my husband. Hoping he wouldn't have too hard a time finding a job in finance down there. Appreciate the response!!

So, I have spent months since graduating trying to get in to a hospital. I have been on two interviews and have not received an offer. I started getting creative and applying to school nurse positions. I have had two interviews with a third coming up...

I just had the most difficult interview this week and I am feeling very frustrated with myself. The recruiter told me that the hospital's philosophy is not to intimidate people, but that is NOT how I felt in the panel interview. One woman was litera...

This was at Monte? Only thing is I have an 8 month old son with no one to watch him.

I have applied to quite a few positions at Montefiore. Does going to HR in person make a difference in your experience? I know some places they tell you that you can only go to HR if you have an appointment.

Well, I did not get the job. If I am going to be honest with myself, there are other hospitals I would rather work for. They made me feel like crap in that interview and it just is not my cup of tea to make people feel like that. Now if only I can ge...

Thank you for your response. I felt like I kept saying "I don't know that" or "I would have to look that up" a lot The panel was not over the top, but there was one woman who was very intimidating. I just couldn't remember a lot of critical thinking...

Hi nicki6702, any chance you could message me the recruiters name? I'm not interested in post partum, would like to see if they are hiring med surg in the near future. Thanks :)

Try to get recruiter emails and email them directly with your resume and cover letter. Connect with people you graduated with and see if they can pass your resume and name along. Its tough in nyc but it is doable. I just recently interviewed in Westc...
