Hi all

i am a paeds nurse from Australia and i am married to a Boston boy! We have been in Australia for about 10 years and he has had enough and wants to come home. I am just wanting abit of info/advice over the best spots to work. I have a general paeds background and HDU experience. Have done level 2 outpatients and also paediatric sleep studies.

Thanks for help.......its a bit daunting as i have never been to Boston let alone any of the hospitals there!

Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.

Starting point would be the nursing BON and getting sorted with requirements and sitting NCLEX without it you will not be able to work as a RN

thanks for advice!

I am on to that side of it already. I am slowly but surely making some progress with regard to the nursing licence. I am now concentrating on what facilities i should be thinking about/ looking at. We have no set area to move, i guess it all depends on where i end up working. Anyone do school nursing? I am interested in moving into that field if suitable.

There are several major children's hospitals in the Boston area. Tufts New England Hospital ( Floating Hospital), MGH Mass General Hospital, Boston's Children's Hospital, Boston Medical Center, all have Pedi Units.

The job market is very tough here. Do you have a BSN which is required of most Boston Hospitals ( although your clinical experience may out weight it).

Do you have live in Boston? There are other parts of US where you my find a job quicker.

Thanks Alex!

Yes i have a BSN. I am really scared now........its seems that i may have trouble finding work. My husbands family are in the surrounding areas, so i can work outside of the city. What is the pay like there for nurses?
