I was offered a position outside of NYP, at another big name healthcare setting in NYC. I feel unhappy and unsupported by directors and management. Any other nurse feel the same? I'm going to leave regardless I just want to hear some personal opinions. How can we put patients first if we aren't practicing safe nursing care?

What campus did you apply to

No matter where you go you'll get some professors who are supportive some who aren't. Of all the nursing colleges I've heard of, I have many friends who are now nurses who graduated in NJ and NY schools, Dominican has the worst reputation. I've heard first hand that the professors are racist, and try to fail you, which is good for the program bcos it shows that it is competitive. Also their rate of passing the nclex the first time is very low. I know someone who graduated 2011 and someone who graduated 2013 and still have yet to pass the nclex. I apologize if this sounds very negative, but I'm trying to be realistic as possible. If you are able to just do your work, have a good study group, and family or friend support then you will be able to get by. This is speaking on behalf of the weekday accelerated program, not too sure about the weekend accelerated program. Also don't think this negativity is from people who haven't passed the program or the nclex, it is also from those who are successful nurses right now. May I add, successful from their hard work and connections into major hospitals, no help from Dominican college. A gf of mine who graduated from there couldn't find a job for a year. When she went to Dominican professors for help, all they did was tell her to wait, aka they were useless. A few months later a friend of a friend got her a job at Memorial Sloan. The head of the department found out and wanted her to come in and speak with the new set of absn students and talk about how Dominican opened so many doors for her. My friend got upset that they were trying to take credit for her getting a job at such an accredited hospital she refused to answer to the email. Nursing school is hard to get into nevertheless stay in. If you have the opportunity then by all means stay in the program. Just know that they can feed you all this information about how they want you to pass, but at the end of the day don't trust anyone but yourself!

6 to 7 usually..at most 7 to 8..and you're too busy with your patients to call your Union..patient care is affected..it's a vicious cycle

I am currently working at NYP. I had many friends in college who attended the meet and greet, but didn't get a job at NYP after graduation. Many of the people who were hired in a variety of campuses, I have friends who got jobs in LM, Cornell, and Colombia, didn't even attend the meet and greet. It's all about who you know and what connects you have to get you into the hospital. Sorry to be the pessimist in this thread, but just explore your options and make sure you apply everywhere!

Congrats on the new grad seminar! Keep your options open though, I know a lot of people that were invited to those seminars, but more than 90% of those people weren't offered a job. This had nothing to do with their qualifications. People who get hired at NYP, all campuses, only get hired if they know someone that works there who can push their resume to HR or to the unit managers. Good luck though!

Hey guys! Yea sure Ill send you what I made, its very short and brief but I passed the exam and just studied my review sheet.

Littman Stethoscope Lightweight II SE all the way! I think mine is some sort of lilac light purple color. love it!

I love this! So inspiring. This is my story and I know a lot of other's story too. Perseverance is all it takes. Congrats and I hope you enjoy your week. Do something fun!! Welcome to the nursing life. =)

I never got anything after Oct 31st :/ Try messaging me again!

Its okay to cry! Its norm to be nervous or scared! If you pass yayyyy..if you fail its okay. Itll be hard to keep your head up but you HAVE TO! You passed nursing school and you can pass this!

Agreed that it depends on what the question is asking or what other information they give you in the question. In crisis, its usually initiate IV fluids, I remember studying and going nuts over this. Unless there is any indication that the patient cannot breathe or if the patient is in respiratory distress, then hydrate and initiate fluids. Hope this helps!

The BON is never allowed to give results over the phone. I know a couple people who've tried to call and have been told the same thing. A few weeks later they got their results that they passed. Also, you're not 100% sure that you failed! Just wait it out! Keep your head up until you get your final results!

The feeling after the test is the worst! But dont worry itll all pay off in the end whether its this time or a few more timea after! Hoping for the best for you good luck!

Congrats!!!!! It must feel amazing. Go enjoy the rest of your week and months before you start working. You definitely deserve it!
