Hello all, I have 2 years experience in a unit antepartum/postpartum...it is nice however i would like to change units...to a more critical care type unit where i feel that more is to be done. In AP/PP aka mother baby, nursing is very routine and it'...

BSN...unless u want to waste more time and money while having no job. As i see it ADN grads have extreme difficult getting a job and have to spend more time and money going back to get their BSN. Better do BSN right away and save some cash and time. ...

i interviewed at a few hospitals in NYC... i found out sending thank you notes makes no difference in terms of hiring. I got hired to where i did not have an address where to sent the note. But those who gave me a business card and i sent them thank...

Im in NYC and I have two years experience in hospital in maternity inpatient. I applied to many hospitals NICU positions...and HR either said I have no experience or had me interview with NICU nurse manager and they told me that I have no experience ...

Why the fuss? I think both sides are valid...the one presenting the law and the ones presenting personal experiences. I see the one being insulting is GoVeg, it seems if someone says places dont always go by the law then they are not giving real info...

I also know of people hired as RNs as new grads into ERs in the city....hospitals with no new grad residencies but just a long orientation. Perhaps this has changed or there is some unwritten exception that got these new grads in. I would say Dee, yo...

The job market is very difficult. Even if you end up in a specialty it is difficult to change to another. For example, new grad hired as postpartum RNs have a very difficult time getting hired for another specialty 1-2 years after hire. And same for ...

hi all, are these jobs in the float pool also for RNs changing specialties or only for new grads or experienced ICU RNs? thank you.

Thanks MBARNBSN! I have no issue with being treated as a new grad on a new unit however...I would hope my acute care nursing experience would help me get hired into another specialty...and not be at the bottom of the pile and lower than a new grad in...

Im not saying i want treatment as an experience med surg nurse bc im not...i meant to have a plus on the hiring side of things at other hospitals also. (Med surg at my hospital is very understaffed and people always leave). I have more nursing skills...

So if i was hired as a new grad on a unit that I feel I have learned everything about (postpartum) and I want to move into critical care type unit what can I do? These units all want "2 years experience in specific unit" but yet hire new grads. Im ne...

JLB, the only way it seems to get in this fellowship is to have worked there or done externship there. I tried emailing a recruiter whos email i found through google searching...used many trial and error keywords. The only reply I got is "Please appl...

you should post to the already existing "Critical Care Fellowship" thread to get better reply. It is right below your post. Also, how did you get a callback from them? Did you do externship with them? I been applying since August and I have hospital...

Nope you do not have to do hospital nursing. I met plenty of nurses who like public health nursing, case management, working at clinics, or specialize in computers and have no interest of being in the hospital. U only need hospital nursing if you wan...

Job market in NYC is horrible. I am an experienced RN and I only got called for 3 interviews and got no offer of job despite having great credentials, experience and interview. Manager said "i do not have experience on the exact same specialty unit" ...

NYP for some reason recruits new grads from out of state ( I do not mean NJ Or CT...i mean like far out of state like Ohio, Virginia, PA, Indiana, etc) and i guess International ones too as per the above post and most often, hires them. I mean why ma...

Im in NYC, jobs are hard here however Arizona is always looking for RNs and agencies offer sign on bonus. The pay in Arizona is even with the cost of living...it wont be as high as NYC however Arizona's rent and living costs are quite lower than NYC,...

I understand how you feel. I was able to get a job as new grad 9 months after NCLEX at a city hospital in NYC. Now that I have experience I am trying to move to a more "critical care" type of specialty L and D, NICU, PICU, ICU, etc. I am having a har...

Well mother baby is easy to get into...but so hard to get out of. I have been trying to move into L and D , PICU, ICU , etc as mother baby is not as challenging for me (mostly pass out PO pain meds and give heparin shots). I have 2 years experience i...

Old thread, but found it through a search. So I am no longer new. Two years ago I was hired as new grad in postpartum at an NYC hospital and also have float experience in post-op recovery as well as medsurg for pregnant women. I have been trying to m...

I been applying to NSLIJ back in 2012 when i was a new grad...eventually i got a job at a city hospital with nyc hhc. Now that i have two years of experience i started applying to NSLIJ again as of 4 months ago and of course as before....no one calls...

ohh so if we didnt extern or volunteer there we dont have a chance? In my BSN program we didnt have the summer off to do externships as it was an accelerated BSN and then i been working since graduation first as RN in primary care and then in inpati...

Planned Parenthood is a great place, if you have interest in Women's Health , go for it. Home Health is a good option also...just decide which is what interests you most. I think the pay is about the same.

I have heard only good things about downstate. However about LIU..not so. In my ABSN and also the traditional aka generic BSN program at a CUNY college, there were a few students who transferred to CUNY FROM LIU. They said the program at LIU is not m...

I have heard only good things about Stony Brook. However NYU seems overrated...very expensive, students are not guaranteed clinicals, and they admit way too many students (so not helpful to graduate massive numbers of new RNs during this lack of a nu...
