I did my synthesis at McLeans its an awesome hospital and the role of the nurse there seems very valued. I loved every minute of it. The only downside is the hospital has lower pay than surrounding hospitals... however despite that none of the nurses ever want to leave... so...

Re: New grad - should I go right into psych???

I went straight into L&D after nursing school, then high risk L&D for 7 years. Not until I moved to a small hospital doing OR did I branch out and discover all the many talents I possessed. There I learned conscious sedation, Pacu, Outpatient, and endoscopy, as well as circulating. Now I am doing plastics, which I love! Keep an open mind, there is so much to learn.
