I'm moving to Boston and I will work ANYWHERE, literally. I live many many states away and am planning on moving in May when I graduate...I'm assuming I'll be taking the nclex sometime in May or ASAP if not.
-Can I work as a graduate nurse in boston? and if not, can I work as a CNA? Should I apply for CNA jobs if so?
-What hospitals hire graduate/new nurses?
-Do all of the assisted living facilities hire new grads? most?
-Can I do home health as a new grad or do I need experience for that?
-Can I become certified in CPLS or TB or anything before I graduate? A lot of jobs seem to want the CPLS.. I'll do whatever it takes.
-Should I send a hard copy of my resume etc to all the hospitals/assisted living facilities I plan on applying? And if so, should I do this now or wait until I'm closer to graduation?
-I would LOVE to work in the VA. Would they hire a new grad? What can I do to increase my chances for this?
Boston is an expensive city and I already feel anxious....
