1st NCLEX in 4-5 weeks now..NY

Hi, I will be taking my NCLEX RN 4-5 weeks from now. Should I start sending applications now to hospitals? or should I wait after I pass. or should I just focus on my review?

Can someone recommend a hospital that would be great as a Graduate Nurse (no paid hospital experience) in New York City?

I heard about these: HSS, Presbyterian, NYU. If anyone has an experience with that (or other), can you please give me some general/quick pros & cons? or tips too. Thank you.

Btw, I graduated last May this year... if you have something that you can't discuss, you can email me [email protected]

    I graduated in December and also started applying to jobs at the same time. The process is pretty long so I would suggest applying ASAP. If you don't hear from any recruiters, edit your resume and try again. Without taking the NCLEX, I have gotten phone interviews with Mount Sinai, NYU, and Northwell Health. I am currently on my second in person interview with NYP and they are well aware that I do not have a date for the NCLEX but are interested in me anyway because they are looking for someone to start March 9th. Contact me if you have any more questions.

    Did you got to a NYS nursing program? And how long after submitting your documents to the NYSBON did you recvieve your ATT? I am trying to judge how far out I should anticipate taking the NCLEX. Thanks!

    @pcardnurse Hi can you email me at [email protected] cos we can't private message each other here.

    I'm done with NCLEX, passed got my license already. Took 1-2 weeks for my ATT but it really depends on the volume of applicants at that time.

    May I ask what your credentials are? I have been applying for about a month now to all those hospitals and no replies. I got my BSN in CT which I'm not sure if NYC hospitals prefer those educated in NYC. I also have 2-3 years of CNA and PCA experience in a nursing home and home care. I know they prefer hospital experience so I don't have much confidence ?
