Which hospitals in NYC hire associate degree grads

[Jae89]

most want BS, im so frustrated

[PacoUSA, BSN, RN]

North Shore LIJ is overwhelmingly BSN in new grad hiring, as they are very Magnet minded.

I was hired with my adn but enrolled in bsn program. I was already an employee there so all i did was a transfer. my recruiter did tell me to complete my bsn within 5years or else they will have to let me go. they hire new grads though, last january about 10 of us were new grads and last month they hired 2 new grads on our floor

What hospital was this?

[ARNBSN, BSN, RN]

@LM NY Do you know if your friends who got hired at bellevue applied online or did they know someone on the inside?

[estrellaCR, BSN, RN]

The HHCs are BSN only since the past almost 2 yrs. The only ASNs I heard of that are hired are those that have experience or know someone high up working in the hospital or already work at the hospital and are "upgrading" , as in transferring from clerk, LPN or CNA to RN and even so they all have to be enrolled in a BSN program. With so many BSN grads applying to jobs, hospitals are just going for the highest degree (which is BSN) as it looks better to them that some make the effort to have extra education. As managers I interviewed with in 2012 said, it's not fair to hire someone who took the short route as in ASN over someone who has invested more as in went the BSN route. And also hospitals are looking for magnet status so they want BSNs as that's one of the requirements.

@estrellaCR Do you know why they dont advertise it as so on thier job posts?

[estrellaCR, BSN, RN]

Ang B, advertise what on the job posts? The BsN preference? Well they do make exceptions to BSN ( ASN with RN experience, connections, or already working there) like I said above but they get lots of applications and they can pick and choose based on their preferences...and they pref the higher degree if it's new grads they are looking at.

[ARNBSN, BSN, RN]

Hi estrellaCR, yes that's what I meant. They don't even say Bsn preferred. But I understand what you're saying. I'm a new RN working in Ambulatory Care but am interested in getting on the floor. Just started applying for med/surg positions so hopefully I get something one day.

[JamesC18]

Just bumping the thread. I'd really like to work in NYC when I get my license. But it looks like NO ONE considers ASN from what I've seen.

I know way too many RN'S that started out with an Associate. Majority of them had absolutely no inside connection, but most have already obtained a BSN since they were hired. I honestly believe you have to be an all-around strong candidate if you are coming in with an Associate.

New grads just starting out with an ADN most certainly are going to need the BSN before hire or at least are enrolled/plan to have that degree within a certain period afterwards. That just seems to be how things are shaking out for the "major" NYC hospital systems.

Given that between them NS-LIJ, NYP, and Mount Sinai-Continuum Partners control most of the private hospitals in Manhattan, Staten Island and a good part of Queens (NYU-Langone is the only unaffiliated left IIRC), whatever decisions those systems make regarding nurse hiring affects a huge part of the employment market.

NS-LIJ just got Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn so it will be interesting to see how that affects future nurse recruitment. Meanwhile NYU-Langone got shot of former nurses from LICH and brought in their own to staff their urgent care center and one assumes when the new facility is built that will continue to hold.

All of these places are BSN required or preferred at least for new grads/hires.

Waking this thread up- I'll be graduating from my ASN program in May 2017 and sitting for the NCLEX shortly thereafter. I'm already enrolled in a combined BSN program with an anticipated May 2018 grad date, but I just wanted to know how the job search as been for hospital positions as an associate's trained RN? Any luck?
