What is the best NYC hospital for a fresh grad?

Published

any NYC nurses, please let me know the hospital for fresh grad to start. I'm looking for better training and nurse retention as well as competitive salary.

thanks a lot :)

I've heard mixed things about magnet hospitals as being truly deserving places for nurses to work. Some long-time nurses have expressed to me that they believe the magnet designation is more hype than substance.

In NYC, there are 4 magnets: NYU, Hospital for Special Surgery, Elmhurst Hospital in Queens (the only HHC hospital on the list), and Mount Sinai.

I've heard only great things about the orientation at Mt. Sinai. I'm going there for an interview and tour in 2 weeks so I'll have to fill you in when I get back...It's supposedly one of the top hospitals in the US so hopefully they will be as awesome as I hear!

Lenox Hill recently told an applicant that the orientation there was 7 weeks long...seems a little short.....:uhoh3:

I'm starting the night shifts on a tele unit in NYC on err.. MONDAY. I believe the charge nurse mentioned 6-8 patients per nurse on nights.

Interesting that you say that. I've become accustomed to those sorts of numbers over night when I did my externships and clinicals at other hospitals. What's a normal ratio at your hospital?

4 to 1. Now that I'm in ICU though never more than 2. I hope transportation can read monitors so you don't have to be off the floor all the time to CT/MRI/ cath lab...and have lots of other nurses around to help manage multiple chest pains, arrhythmias
