   TxxRN replied to cadrea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Pace University does this. If you apply to their 1-year program and you have a solid interview and they like you, but for whatever reason they think the 1-year program might be too challenging for...

3. Highest Paying Hospitals NYC

   TxxRN replied to MommyRN15's topic in New York Nursing

   Yes, Sloan is one of the highest paying hospitals, if not THE highest. And that's speaking of the day shift before figuring in large differentials for working nights and/or weekends. Plus, most would...

5. Unit Manager Demands I Cut My Hair

   TxxRN replied to Nurse Cookie Swirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   Somehow I feel like your manager is exposing her own underlying biases rather than simply trying to adhere to company policy (which I'm sure doesn't have a section dedicated to dreadlocks). If a...

6. Pocket Snacks for 12 Hour Shift?

   TxxRN replied to westieluv's topic in General Nursing

   Huh? So do you suggest nurses starve until the underlying issue is resolved?? I don't think anyone would disagree that there's definitely a bigger issue that requires many nurses to rely on snacking...

7. Grad Nurse Interview

   TxxRN replied to Jupiterxo's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

8. Has anyone in here been an ER scribe?

   TxxRN replied to NoctuRNal_UnicoRN's topic in General Nursing

   When I was an ER scribe I never considered it a money maker but rather an opportunity to enhance my overall resume when it came time to apply to schools. With that said, schools generally do not...

10. New York Presbyterian/Columbia (NYP Email) New Grad

    TxxRN replied to jlc128's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm a new grad.... For NYP I don't know if it's the typical time or not. Maybe it differs depending on the department and if you're a new grad vs experienced. I don't know if others were told that...

    TxxRN replied to jlc128's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I applied as a new grad and received a tentative offer in PICU. I was told the next residency that has openings won't begin until September, which is too long for me not to have an income, so I've...

    TxxRN replied to akruc353's topic in General Students

    This forum is totally for advice and guidance! I think if you just add in your own thinking first, people like myself won't misperceive your intention. I see some posters have helped you already in...

    TxxRN replied to jlc128's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hi, I graduated last week and was unaware that NYP had new grad opportunities or that the deadline would have passed before our semester was over. Does anyone know if this was the last chance for a...
