No no no. This is an official acquisition. NYM was always AFFILIATED with NYP. But now we are actually being officially acquired and will be renamed as one of the NYPs. Just like how NY Downtown was finally acquired and named NYP Lower Manhattan. and how NY Hospital Queens became NYP Queens after it was acquired. Both of these hospitals were always affiliated with NYP, but they were acquired recently in the past few years. I am asking people who are actually aware of this, how does the merger/acquisition work?

If NYU is your last resort, I would say go for it. Otherwise go somewhere cheaper with a smaller class size. The student debt I have paying for this place is ridiculous. I went to NYU, and unless you're one of those outgoing people who sit in the front rows of a 200 person lecture, you're gonna have a hard time networking with the professors. In the end, your prospects of getting a job are based on who you know, and your connections there (as long as you have a decent GPA and passed the NCLEX). Simulations (aka acting class), are a joke. You get at most 10-20 minutes in the 3 hour period to interact with a mannequin. The rest of the time is spent watching the rest of your classmates. Trust me, all of my classmates thought these were the worst things ever. The one thing, I got out of this place was my ride or die nursing friends I got a job straight out of graduation because I had volunteered at the hospital for for the 1.5 years that I had been studying at NYU. A lot of my current coworkers came from CSI, LIU, SUNY, Adelphi, (some Columbia and NYU), but you don't need to go to NYU to get a job, if that's the only thing you're thinking about. Also, just because NYU has high NCLEX pass rates, doesn't mean anything. YOU are the reason you pass the NCLEX. If you work hard, study hard, pay attention in class, do practice questions.. you will get what you deserve. NYU has a lot of smart people, which is why they pass. They study, they work hard. The people I know who didn't pass in my year, didn't pass because they didn't study and treated it as a joke.

Hi everyone! I've been working at New York Methodist for about 2 years, and now I'm finding out that New York Presbyterian is acquiring us? Has anyone else on here been through the process of NYP acquiring the places you work at, or know anything about the process? What does this mean... will we get more nurses hired? (because God knows we need them lol). Do we get a salary bump from being a part of NYP? Any insight would be awesome :)
