1. Newton Wellesley Hospital

   plyRN33 replied to wackyj2000's topic in Massachusetts

   I heard they were just hiring internally too. My friend applied to another new grad program in Boston, and was given an interview, but then told that out of all the positions they had listed, only one was available to external candidates.

2. Anyone Pregnant their FIRST YEAR of Nursing? Help

   plyRN33 replied to gelousstudent's topic in New Nurse

   I am sure it will be hard, but you can do anything if you set your mind to it! I had a baby last May, and graduated from nursing school in August, all while working a full time and a part time job. It can be done!! Just make sure you know what you...

3. CNAs in Mass Hospitals

   plyRN33 replied to sarahlpnwannabe's topic in Massachusetts

   Also, I have been seeing many hospitals hiring nursing student interns for the summer. I think you have to have completed a year of school at least. But this may be another option if that hospital doesn't have any aide positions posted.

4. Mission Hospital

   plyRN33 replied to plyRN33's topic in North Carolina

   Thanks for the response! I'm not sure that I would love living in that kind of environment, but it is so hard to get hospital jobs in MA as a new grad that I'll go anywhere for the experience at this point! They were nice enough to offer a phone in...

5. CNAs in Mass Hospitals

   plyRN33 replied to sarahlpnwannabe's topic in Massachusetts

   Hello! I am an RN now, but started out working in a nursing home in Westwood as a CNA and then at a hospital. I personally think all RN/LPN should start out as aides, b/c it is GREAT experience in terms of patient care. But anyway, I would pick the...

   Hi! Does anyone know anything about Mission Hospital in Asheville?? I was contacted regarding a new grad position, but I have never been to the area. Thanks so much!

7. Possible to get a job??

   plyRN33 replied to BosNsgStudent's topic in New Nurse

   Did you check out Sharp Memorial Hosp in CA? I know they did have a new grad program, not sure if the application deadline has passed or not. Versant has a great program, and are mainly in the south and western part of the country. I'm in the same...

8. Totally Freaked Out

   plyRN33 replied to bebahloo's topic in Massachusetts

   I agree that you should find a CNA job at a hospital that you want to work for now, that way you already have your foot in the door. I heard that South Shore Hosp was applying for "magnet status", so they will prefer BSN over ADN. Some of the other...

9. What's a BA,RN to do?

   plyRN33 replied to MarkE86's topic in Massachusetts

   I am in the same boat with a bachelors degree in another field, and just graduated with my ADN. Finding a job with an associates degree is VERY difficult. I am already thinking about doing UMass Boston's online RN to BSN program (which is only 5 cl...

10. Any ADN program recomendations in/around Boston, Ma?

    plyRN33 replied to casualintense's topic in General Nursing

    In my opinion, go for your BSN, not your ADN. There are so many hospitals in/around Boston that are moving away from hiring nurses with just an associates degree (the Brigham actually posted an article about it on their career page). If you still w...
