This seems to be a relatively new program, as there are no reviews to be found about it. I believe fall 2020 was the first semester. Is anyone here a part of that program? Touro has always had a BS nursing program at their SHS, this new program now offers an associate degree in nursing. I am posting so that nursing school prospects can also explore it as an option.

Hi ChicagoRN I am 29 weeks and barely showing, so it isn't easy to tell. I have the face to face today so I will see how it goes. Thanks for responding

Hi Rose, Thank you for the feedback. In all honesty I have thought about fmla, but I haven't reallt THOUGHT about it, if you know what I mean. I've been so focused on securing the job first and then figuring out the rest after.

Hi everyone, I have been working in a SNF for 2 years. This was my first nursing job and then I added a per diem schedule through an agency. I am now expecting and recently a position came up in a facility that I am very interested in. I have applied and got my first call back, which turned into a phone interview. It went well and the recruiter has scheduled me to move on to the next phase of the interview process. I have no doubt in my ability to get the job, based on their requirements and my skills, however my concern is whether or not being pregnant will be a deal breaker. I did not mention it to the recruiter, should I have done so? Is this a good time to be transitioning in my career, and has anyone had a similar experience? I'm really excited about this job, and really hope that the fact that I am expecting won't be an issue.

I went to V.E.E.B.

I am sorry about your experience thus far. I am also an LPN in NYC I have had my license since July 2014. I sent out 10 applications within two weeks from receiving it, and got six interviews followed by six offers. Each circumstance was very different, and I had to weigh the pros and the cons before making a decision. There was a hospital in the city that was opening a long term rehab, clean facility, new and 3 months orientation as a new nurse. Then there was LTC in uniondale staffed by an agency, no benefits, set pay rate $20ph and 1yr contract which requires working every weekend for that year. There were 3 more in long island with great offers, including unions, incredibly low nurse:patient ratio and renovated facility... I currently work with one of these. The other offer was private duty through an agency $17ph. 12hr shifts. Okay so, I would have gladly taken any of those jobs, even when I didn't warm up to the contract being offered or the circumstances of the job. I was a new nurse with no experience and I was not expecting any offers let alone 6. I told myself I would take what I could and get my experience in, this way i would be more marketable in a year. Personal circumstances will also make the difference in choosing a job, but look at it this way. It is better to be working for $17ph than none at all. Revamp your resume and try again, don't worry about the work load, people have been doing it for years, so it can be done. At the end of the day you will gain valuable experience, and moving forward you will be able to determine which areas of nursing you would like to grow in.

NYC $23 as a new grad in Oct 2014 plus shift differentials, $36 overtime , short term rehab
