classes start at 4:30. I would suggest you change your work schedule to leave at 3:30 depending on where you work and travel time to get to class on time.

Hi I would like to know how much do Nurse Practitioners make in NYC? is it the same as a RN? I hear some NP's making 200-300k a year, is this possible? if so, how?

any new salary updates now that we are in 2017?

Hi when you say one term do you mean 3 months? if so, how were you able to finish that workload so fast?

@kimburleeeeee Hi I sent you a PM. Not sure if you have the ability to respond..

Hi I was wondering which online programs would allow me to complete my RN-BSN fast or in one semester? I already have a bachelor's degree in psychology and currently in a program obtaining an Associates degree. I have so many credits under my belt so I assume it shouldn't take me too long to obtain my BSN. I've saw some people on the boards finish Chamberlain's RN-BSN program in 3 months.

Sorry to hear this. I find it weird that they couldn't hire you considering you are an employee but then again NYMH is acquired by Presbyterian which is known for not hiring any ASN's. Have you tried Jersey hospitals? and Lenox Hill? Lenox Hill job postings say as long as you're enrolled in a bsn program you are eligible for hire. I would say stick with being at NYMH until you obtain your BSN. How much longer do you have to go?

Congrats on your job offer! Do they hire new grads? I'm obtaining my adn right now and fear I won't be able to get a job anywhere. 87k is not bad at all! BTW I just finished my first clinical rotation and doing peds/med surg for the fall semester. Do you know if places will hire me as a CNA considering I completed my first clinical rotation? I would like to get some experience until I graduate next year. Congrats again!

CLUVRN Congrats!!! Did you already have a bachelor's degree? I have a bachelor's degree and obtaining my Associates right now (graduation date AUG 2017). Do you think it will take me less than 6 months to obtain my BSN? Also, Do you suggest becoming obtaining a MSN, DNP, or FNP degree? I've seen on this website some nurses stating that obtaining a NP degree is a waste of time since you get the same salary or less than a RN.

You could try Mount Sinai and Jamaica hospital and I also heard hospitals in NJ hire ADNs. The best bet is to be enrolled in a BSN program. A lot of hospitals are trying to acquire magnet status. I heard it's hard to obtain a hospital job but it's definitely not impossible. If you end up having any luck please let me know. I will graduate next year with an Associates as well. Good luck!

Is this 89,500 base pay during the day? As well as the OR offer?

LIU has one

$44-$45 an hour

The critical thinking test is just to see where your strengths and weaknesses are for the NCLEX exam. Don't worry about it too much.

I hope you get the job. I don't see why you wouldn't get hired, at the end of the day you're a registered nurse and have 5 years of experience! They just need you to have the BSN status because they're a magnet hospital. All freaking politics and so silly. I feel like if we all sit for the same darn test we all deserve the equal opportunity to be considered for the job as long as ADNs plan to obtain their BSN within 1 year of hire. Good luck to you!

Thanks!

Hi Nickster. congrats on passing your nclex. Do you mind me asking where you were able to do an externship?

YES! you can take your prerequisites somewhere. Good luck!

The process was super easy. Honestly make your own judgement. Visit the school sometime soon and speak to students and make your own decision. I made the decision based on looking for a program that allowed me to work full time and finish in less than 2 years. As of right now, it's the best decision I've made. I had no time to wait for a program to accept me. I've already wasted 4 years of my undergrad years studying a ******t major so I just wanted to be done and be out. If you took any prereqs that will help tons!! In my opinion, I'd suggest taking a&p and micro over the summer somewhere, you will thank yourself a lot. Less work load when you're in the program, and you really want to focus on your nursing classes. And that doesn't apply for St. Paul's but all other programs. I took as many prereqs as I could. St. Paul's is 18 months and that's a lot better than a full two years in my opinion. Good luck and make the best choice for YOU. keep in mind every nursing program is unorganized and their will be rude faculty everywhere. It's up to you to maintain positive energy and just focus on your goals. I hope this helps!!

It's not that bad so far. It feels good that I'm in nursing school so I am going to make the best of it. Yes some people are rude and yes some faculty can be rude but at the end of the day you're trying to get an education. I've learned that you have to do the work and get out. I'm just focusing on the prize. It's my first semester and I have no complaints.

try LIU in brooklyn. or maybe look into a part time nursing school.... you might as well do an associates program in nursing instead of liberal arts. That way you have your clinicals out the way. I am at St. Paul's School of Nursing in Queens. They offer evening courses. Look into it if you absolutely need to work...

Hi Steve, I was really interested in becoming a NNP until I saw your post that the specialty is oversaturated. What specialty in NYC do you think is great to go into? My first choice was Family Nurse Practitioner but I thought maybe it would be oversaturated as well? I look forward to your response. Thank you!

Hello, I was wondering how much the per diem rate in NYC is

Would it be possible to get two separate positions at different hospitals to double your income? or even work two nursing positions at the same in one hospital? would this result in burn out you think? I am still a nursing student but I was thinking of starting a family 2 years after graduating and figured doubling my income for one year to save up for a house and a child wouldn't be too bad? a year goes by pretty quick!

Hi Mae17 I didn't receive a job lol. I do work for the health system but not as a nurse. I think that's a good thing that they're giving new grads a chance because the market is tough for the inexperienced nurse. Also maybe these new grads have great referrals or know someone that works in the system, maybe? If you're really looking for a job I would suggest their flex staff. It can at least get your foot in the door. Good luck!
