Where to start

Published

Specializes in Med/Surg, Hospice, Drug Safety.

I have recently relocated to NY from NC and am preparing to start my job search. I am completely unfamilar with the hospitals in the area and most of what I have found on-line is for traveling nurses, or through agencies. Should I go through an agency to find the best fit? I have 3 years experience as a staff nurse on a med-surg floor, 3 years experience as a hospice nurse, and several months as a drug safety specialist nurse consultant. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I think you would have much more luck applying directly to the hospitals. Are you in the city or upstate?

I am actually living in Newport, NJ, but next door to PATH to city, which is fairly short ride to mid-town (I believe)? I am completely unfamilar with the subway, which is another hurdle for me to figure out...anyway, do you have any recommendations regarding hospitals to avoid/or ones to try first? Thanks so much for the reply, I am really starting to feel very lost and without any ideas regarding where/how to start this process; though that may have to do with recently moving to the area, not knowing anyone but my husband, and since unpacking and exploring the nearby area, not having a lot of human interaction during the day while my husband is at work...venting, sorry, anyway, thanks for responding and any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

manhattan hospitals are easiest to get to from path and they will be easiest to locate on the subway.

new york presbyterian by far is the best hospital in the state

when you do the job search for this one you don't have to pick the hospital, just put nursing and manhattan.

hope these help!
