  1. Any new grads work for Visiting Nurse Services of NY?

    MiaNJ posted a topic in New York Nursing

    I am considering working for them, since they take new grads. But I hear they require you to sign a long term contract, of a couple yrs. I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing. I also would like...

  2. still unemployed and still frustrated!

    MiaNJ replied to VM85's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Really? But are they hiring new grads or just experienced RNs? Where I am in the east coast, I know many new grads without jobs. I went to a job fair a few weeks ago, where there were major big and...

  3. job fair

    MiaNJ replied to guitarhero's topic in New York Nursing

    But different hospitals may have have other rules. I was just told by the NYU recruiter that they 'prefer' those who graduated within the last 6 months. Since they have so many applications, then it's...

  4. job fair

    MiaNJ replied to guitarhero's topic in New York Nursing

    I didn't hear that from the recruiter, but possibly. I did hear from the NYU recruiter that they have a nurse residency program in Feb. But I don't qualify since I graduated over 6 months ago. Also,...

  5. Any hospital hiring new grads? anywhere in the country?

    MiaNJ replied to zefutebolera's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I just went to a job fair last week in NYC, and every single hospital there said they are not hiring new grads right now. Some were major big hospitals, with long lines of new grads waiting to hand in...

  6. job fair

    MiaNJ replied to guitarhero's topic in New York Nursing

    I went, but every single hospital recruiter there said the same thing - no new grad positions at the present moment. Some would take resumes, but others would not, and tell you to apply online. I...

  7. job fair

    MiaNJ replied to guitarhero's topic in New York Nursing

    Anniee, don't give up. I think you should go anyway. I have been searching for longer than you have, and still nothing. Don't feel bad. There are many in the same situation. But you can't stop trying....

  8. job fair

    MiaNJ replied to guitarhero's topic in New York Nursing

    There is another career fair next Wed. 11/4, by Nursing Spectrum. I wonder if that will also be similar to the Advance

  9. Working as a nurse in NYC

    MiaNJ replied to JTomlinson91's topic in New York Nursing

    Try looking up some threads about new grads looking for NYC jobs. There are many who have been looking for a while and still can't find a job. It can be quite competitive to get a job in NYC in a...

  10. Volunteer for lower waged/free RN internship to get foot in door???

    MiaNJ replied to elprup's topic in Nursing Career

    I don't know if that is possible. I have tried looking for a volunteer nurse position in hospitals or clinics, but they simply don't allow you to do any nursing functions unless you are working as a...

  11. still unemployed and still frustrated!

    MiaNJ replied to VM85's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I get that alot too, and I can't stand it. It's mostly from people who are not in the nursing profession and know nothing about the nursing profession. Another one I hate is when people tell me 'But...

  12. Am i too old to start aiming for a nursing career

    MiaNJ replied to rompril's topic in General Nursing

    When I was in nursing school, I'd say about half the class was early-mid 30s, and some over 40. You'd be surprised at how many people either change careers or decide to go to college for the first...

  13. Look in to your crystal ball: predictions for when the market recovers!

    MiaNJ replied to elleNY's topic in New York Nursing

    That's really disheartening for me. What will happen to all the 'new' grads who have been looking for a months, a year or more? I didn't get a chance to do an externship, and now it's too late for me...

  14. Help needed re BP parameters

    MiaNJ replied to mjm1979's topic in General Nursing

    I learned from different instructors and doctors that BP guidelines of 120/80 are just a guideline, and sort of outdated now anyway. There are many people whose BP is under 120 systolic, and it's...

  15. PLEASE HELP!!! Looking for a new grad RN job!

    MiaNJ replied to newgrad3's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm not sure how to help, but just wanted to let you know that many new grads everywhere in the U.S. are experiencing the same thing, and some have been searching since last year. Check out this...

  16. Drop out rate of nurses

    MiaNJ replied to esunada's topic in General Nursing

    In all fairness, the 4 year programs don't completely encompass 'only' nursing core or 'only' science programs. Any 4 yr Bachelors college degree includes several 'general ed' courses such as college...

  17. Drop out rate of nurses

    MiaNJ replied to esunada's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing school is very challenging and stressful for alot of people. It's by no means an easy curriculum, whether a ADN or BSN program. I don't think just 'anyone' can pass the program or even get in....

  18. I'm so sorry I didnt go straight for my BSN

    MiaNJ replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Don't think it's just about not having a BSN. I have a BSN, and have applied to MANY hospitals in the past year and am not able to get a job there. It's bad in most places, so it's not just about...

  19. Difficult time Finding a Job

    MiaNJ replied to happyv's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I understand what you're going through. But believe me, you are not the only one. Check out the New York region section on this board, or other past posts about new grads having difficulty finding...

  20. Finding a job after graduating 2 years ago.

    MiaNJ replied to bear1234's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think most recruiters will definitely ask about the time gap between graduation and job searching. If you do search on this board about nurses looking for jobs in NYC, you will find that many nurses...

  21. HELP!! Cant find a job in NY

    MiaNJ replied to ajohnson8407's topic in Nursing Career

    Do you mean New York City? If so, there's alot of nurses in your same situation. I have applied to all hospitals in NYC in the past 6 mos, in most of the boroughs, not just Manhattan. I have not had...

  22. X-rays and CT scans may raise cancer risk - latest study

    MiaNJ posted a topic in General Nursing

    I didn't know where to post this. I heard about this study, and it's disturbing to me since I have always read that x-rays only pose a 'minimal risk' for cancer. I guess I'm concerned since I've had...

  23. broken hearted new grad

    MiaNJ replied to brokenheartedrn's topic in General Nursing

    Brokenheartern, I completely understand how you feel. It is tough for many new grads to find jobs. I graduated before you did, and haven't been able to find a hospital job, and it seems that the more...

  24. broken hearted new grad

    MiaNJ replied to brokenheartedrn's topic in General Nursing

    Why do you say it's ridiculous? I know several people in her situation, and they HAVE applied to over 100 positions, some even more than 200. It is possible to apply that much, since in just one...

  25. X-rays and CT scans may raise cancer risk - latest study

    MiaNJ replied to MiaNJ's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks so much for that article. I will look into it. I definitely don't want to keep getting needless x-rays. I told my doctor about the BCG and treatment that I had as a child, but I was still...
