chtzu BSN, RN

Hello, all! This is mostly directed at anyone who has been through the process but any input is appreciated. I called NY BON and they stated they have all my paperwork and could be another 3-4 weeks before they begin to process it. 2 weeks ago I was ...

Hello! Just wondering if people list their nursing credentials at the top of the resume with their name? Or do you just add them along in your resume? My resume only has my name at the top. Not “Name, BSN, RN, PCCN.” It feels a little obnoxious to ad...

My interview was very brief. Overall, it was an hour between HR, PCD and charge nurse. And I got a call from HR about two weeks after with an offer. Please keep in mind this was pre-Covid. I heard they were moving a lot slower now. And there was a hi...

The person that hired me was the Patient Care Director (PCD). And yes, I work at CU campus.

In my experience, HR will ask more behavioral questions like tell me about a time you went above and beyond, tell me about a time you has conflict with coworker and how you resolved it, etc. PCD asked questions about my experience and things relevant...

I graduated in May and didn't take my NCLEX until September. I was not questioned about it and had no issues getting a job.

NYP-CU. I work on a tele unit. 4-5 patients.

Which NYP? Are all your references done?

The easiest exam you’ll ever take. Just follow the RN study guide floating around this site. You don’t need anything else.

I got a call back, interviewed and hired all within a month. Not sure if the timing was good or I was just lucky.

Have you tried calling? The whole process took about 7 weeks for me. From time I applied to time they posted my license. I called every week and was very persistent cause I had a job lined up.

I’m sure you made you choice by now but as someone part of both systems, I would go with the latter. But good luck wherever you go.

Hello, all! So I've been working on tele unit for almost 2 years now at a small hospital. We deal with a lot of drips and such but the extremely sick patients are either in ICU or get sent out to big hospitals. Today, I interviewed for a position at ...

I appreciate the input so much, everyone! I did get an offer and I accepted it. I’m pretty excited but also nervous. Never thought I’d accept a float position.

Med surg with a 1:4 ratio?? Sounds amazing. A good place to learn how to manage time and adequately care for your patients.

I worked at doctors office as a new grad. It was a different kind of stress but definitely not as stressful as bedside and I didn’t make nearly as much as I do now.

Thank you for the replies! I've been thinking about it and I don't think I'll ever get out of my comfort zone if I don't push myself out. Hopefully it goes well.

I was in 2nd grade living in uptown NYC. I remember the teachers whispering and saying things like volcano A just erupted, looking pretty upset and shocked etc. I got picked up early by neighbor, which didn't happen often and she didn't say much on w...

I work in a MD office as a new grad. Wasn't psychically demanding but sure didn't pay a whole lot. It's possible though!

I love this so much, thank you! I remember calling the attending at 2am for a nonemergent situation but it was something that needed to be addressed asap. He called me back within 5 minutes and I freak out and apologized as soon as he answered. He to...

I live in Northern NJ too and make about the same and there's no way in heck I could afford that. Mind you I'm single, no kids. I only have myself to worry about. You could definitely find something cheaper or how about a roommate?

My nursing instructor had to walk me into the room and be my partner for the first day of clinical cause I was so nervous. Still makes me laugh until today. I'm very shy and quiet also so I understand. I agree with the poster from above that you have...

Happy Friday all! Going to start off by saying I've been working in my current full time position for 9 months now. I don't completely hate it (love the unit and my coworkers) but I do feel like I'm taken advantage of sometimes and it's quite drainin...

I remember wanting to get an ABG on a patient who was really short of breath and when I managed to get the stat order from the hospitalist, I call the respiratory tech to make them aware and he literally yelled at me "well, isn't the patient dnr/dni?...
