I'm at Lincoln too. The TNCC you won't need until about 6months in, they don't recommend taking it earlier because it doesn't make sense without trauma nursing experience. The ACLS on site happens infrequently and there is no PALS on site. You can take it anywhere and the union will reimburse you. If you had an ED/trauma preceptorship already then you're off to a good start, most of us had no experience at all. We get a lot of trauma here. But they will teach you like you're brand new. In orientation you'll learn all the skills and protocols you need for the ED. Then you get your ED preceptor. I wouldn't say you need to read up because they will teach you the NYCHHC way, but you can always brush up on stroke because we are a primary stroke center and look over rhythms (but there is a class on both of those too)

Which facility are you in? Lincoln, Jacobi and North Central are all in the Bronx. For us it was 3 weeks of class room and 5 days of system wide/hosp specific formal days. There were tests and skill competencies. I'm on the unit now. For the first 2 weeks its 8h days and 2 weeks of 12h days then I go to shift (which is over night 12h for me). Total unit orientation for us is 14 weeks We have to get all of our skills signed off before we can be released to shift. There is a nurse residency program for all new grads/people with less than 1yr exp and its mandatory. They will bus you and it counts as a working day Also yes we have to get the TNCC and BCLS/ACLS/PALS but I already have them

Hello! I recently got a job in the ED at a level 1 trauma center in the Bronx. It's part of NYC Health + Hospitals and there is a newly issued "NYC wide residency" in place. It isn't a year but it is 16 weeks. I start orientation this week and it seems there is a lot of confusion about how long we will actually be in the classroom for before heading to the unit. Anyone have any experience with NYC Health + Hospitals orientation?

Hello! I am a new graduate ADN on Long Island. It's a VERY hard area to break into as a new grad and especially as an ADN and NYC and Queens/Bklyn are even harder. I am already in a BSN program (I started the last semester of my ADN program) and I'll be done in 1 year but no luck getting a hospital interview yet, and I apply to new ones every day. I have landed 4 interviews and so far have gotten 2 offers, and the other 2 interviews are later this week. I know its hard to go from LTC or outpatient into a hospital, but these are my only options right now and it's better than no work at all. I would love to hear some thoughts on which of these jobs makes the most sense in terms of experience. Offer 1: Hemodialysis at an outpatient center. Offer 2: Clinic in a homeless shelter. (I am leaning toward this) Interview: Sub-acute rehab. Interview: Planned Parenthood. I don't want to wait too long to make a decision and end up losing offers. I do have some concerns, though. If I take the dialysis job, I'll be using acute skills (accessing sites, hanging lines, phleb, etc) but will I be pigeonholed into dialysis since it's such a specific specialty? If I take the homeless clinic (which is what I want) it's more like primary care and I won't be starting IVs but I will be drawing blood. The sub-acute rehab pays more but I know people have had a hard time getting into a hospital after that (at least here on LI). Planned Parenthood seems like it will be a really well rounded experience, clinic nursing, community health nursing AND periop/OR nursing. My only concern with this is the only hospitals here on LI are owned either by the Catholic Health Services of Long Island, Northwell Health, the state/county and Mt. Sinai. Will PP effect my chances of getting in if the hospital/health system doesn't believe in the type of care PP gives (abortions, etc)? Which bothers me because I do and I would love to have this job. Does any of this make sense or does anybody have any sage words of advice?

Does anyone have a working telephone number for HR / Talent Acquisition? I tried calling the number online but its all automated and I couldn't get to a real person.

If you don't mind, what are you credentials? BSN or ASN and new grad or experienced? I'm applying as a new grad so I don't know if I will get an interview if there are people with experience applying

Hi, which fellowships did you apply to? I applied to LIJ and Lenox Hill ED but haven't seen a status change, but they did take both job postings down today. How was the video and phone interview? I read on past forums the whole process took 3-4 weeks and after the video and phone interview they had an in person interview and then got the job offer by phone. Glad to see someone actually getting a call back. Hope I am that lucky! Good luck

I spoke to admissions and the nursing department earlier today. They said that emails went out yesterday and paper letters will go out today. If you call admissions, they'll tell you if you were accepted (even if you applied through the nursing department and not through them). They told me this morning that they get a list of everyone accepted so they look for your name or N number on that when you call. They wouldn't tell me the point cut off, though, which they have done in other years. Good luck to everyone!

Hey!! Congratulations to you. My status changed as well, but they told me "not to celebrate until we get the official decisions" did they tell you if you see the status change, you are definitely in? Would like to know if I can have a celebratory drink tonight after all this waiting!

Yes, I said in the post I have never been in a nursing program before. I should have specified and said have never been enrolled. I will post my stats after work, when I can look at my transcripts. Letters/emails should be out today or tomorrow they told me

Hey!! So I applied to nursing (day) for this semester, and my status changed to Nursing - Day AS this morning. I called admissions to confirm, and they transferred me to the nursing department. They wouldn't give me any decision information over the phone because letters have not officially gone out yet. They told me to keep an eye out for the email today or tomorrow. Admissions says it is most likely accurate, but nursing said to wait for the email before celebrating (NCC can be very unorganized and is prone to making mistakes). I applied through admissions, if that helps. I don't know my points (would have to look at my transcripts and I am at work) but I am a current NCC student, a Nassau resident, and have never been in a nursing program before.

Hi nursing.mk, My BS GPA isn't that high, honestly. But I have As in all pre-reqs except for one B. I got a 124 on the NLN. I believe it is rolling admissions? What is your BS GPA? I don't think Touro is that competitive when it comes it GPA because they don't have a minimum and they do take the NLN into account. A lot of students are coming from high school, too. Are you applying to the AAS/BS or just BS?

Hi guys! I recently applied to the BSN program at Touro in Brooklyn. I searched on here for a threat for them but the most recent one is still from a few years ago. Does anyone have any information about the program? Are there any grads on here or anyone else that applied? I already have a BS Bio degree and I'm hoping I get accepted into their program, but I'm skeptical because there seems to be so little information on it. Thanks!

Yes! I called the Nursing Department and asked them about that, and they told me that no admits that are new applicants for the fall of 2016 can register yet

So I currently go to Nassau as a non-degree seeking student. I stopped in to the nursing dept. office last Friday, and she told me all letters would be going out by today (Tuesday) the latest, and that the registration change doesn't mean anything. They told me that if it does change, that doesn't mean you got in. If you are a student then you should wait for a letter as they don't send emails. I'm not sure if anyone else has updated information but this is what they told me when I saw them. I think we should probably hear by Thursday, Friday the latest!
