St Barnabas Hospital (bronx ny)

Published

Hello everyone. I have been an ER nurse for the past 7 years and soon I will be interviewing for an ER position at St Barnabas in the Bronx. Do any of you work there? If so, can you shed some light re: the ER, staff, patient population, management, and overall environment? How is the pharm exam? Starting salary for experienced RNs? Benefits? Thanks in advance....

hi! i actually work there! =) i worked in admitting and registration in the ER at first. i have a lot of family members who work in the hospital and got lucky to land a position in administration while i study for my nclex. when do you start? our er gets pretty busy. our population is mostly mcd/mcr patients. we're a level 1 trauma hospital as well as a stroke center.

email me if you have any questions. I can try and help as much as I can.

Hey Kace22. Do you happen to know what are the hours of the night shift? 730-8am, 700-730pm? He recruiter told the nurses work 12 shifts, does that break down to 3 shifts per week? How are the benefits? Are the nurses overwhelmed? I'm 30 and the fun person, is the staff cool and nice?. Thanks for responding...

Hey Kace,

Maybe you can help me with this. I will be taking a pre-employment pharmocology test at St. Barnabas. Do you remember if they give a study guide on the things to study, is the exam difficult?

Hey, I will also be taking the pharm exam at St Barnabas. I am just waiting for HR to contact me to schedule a day for this :yeah: How was the exam? do they give you a study guide? What was the content? Can we use calculators? Any information on your experience will be so helpful!!! Thanks, and I hope you passed the exam and got the job :D

I found the exam to be very difficult . I applied for the er and it asked about ekg rhythms and treatments, acls meds, and what would you do first questions. No study guide , I failed but they let me interview anyway

Did you still get the job? Do they give you another chance to take the exam? Thanks.

Hi everyone! I just interviewed with nursing administration yesterday for Saint Barnabas Hospital and I scheduled with HR today for my pharm test today. Does anyone have any in site to the exam? How should I study for it? I know it is a 60 question multiple choice exam with no calculator :uhoh3:
