I am currently a Med Surgical nurse in one of the health system Hospitals. I have one year experience under my belt. Graduated with a BSN in 2012. I applied last week to NYP and I already had an interview on the phone with a recruiter today. I took the Nurse Battery test as well. weird behavioral questions by the way! She offered me a position in Medical Step down @ NYP Columbia University. I have to meet with the Nurse manager next week. Is this process too fast? anyways, has anyone out there been thru this process with NYP? any advice, insights? I am excited, but a little nervous especially about the commute. Is Medical step-down like another Medsurg? or is it more like a specialized area. Never heard of it.
Thanks ALOT!
RN market is looking good in NYC again. I left my job at upstate NY with 2 years experience and I was looking for work for a month and half actively. I got calls from NYP, NY Methodist, Sloan Kettering and Mount Sinai for interviews. :) In the end, I accepted the offer from Sloan Kettering for their awesome reputation.
I just got the email from NYP to take the battery test after they sent me 2 emails for 2 other positions that I was not chosen for.
Also is anyone going to the experienced critical care nurse open house on apr 3rd at NYP? Sucks that you have to apply online and wait for a call back for an invite smh.
I took their battery test the day after I applied for 5 positions. Only 3 of those applications passed the online screening process and actually ended up as 'applied' ... I have since received 2 emails stating that 2 of those 3 positions are now closed. So 1 application right now waits in the wings ...

I had the same problem the other day. I tried uploading my resume and it kept hanging in processing with that turning wheel in the corner of the screen. I tried the next day and succeeded. Must have been a temporary thing.
