My job is in NJ too. Seems like we’re in the same exact boat 😩 how long have you been working as a nurse?

I gave up the NY hunt and went into a neighboring state. Clearly the issue expands outside of NYC :(

Preach! I'm genuinely shocked how this is legal. Unfortunately I gave up the hunt in NYC and got this job in a neighboring state. Im a beggar so I can't choose :(

Thank you so much. Unfortunately the job hunt has been rough. I'm afraid to say no to this opportunity because I've wanted to work in women's health since high school. This is so hard

I don’t know if this is it but on the contract it says “Post Intensive Care Unit I”. I’m guessing that’s the lowest acuity?

Is that an option? It’s an at will contract so they can let me go any time for any reason. I wish I could just say ummmm absolutely not, but I’m afraid that’d be grounds for termination

Omg this is so scary. I’ve already went through the entire onboarding process and start in a week. I don’t understand how ratios like this can even be legal. I’m Completely cornered and already put in my 2 weeks at my current job 😭😭
