  1. Want to be an OR Nurse! How?

    You may want to look into getting into a perioperative nursing internship program in your area or an area that you are interested in working in.
  2. I'm in your boat. Still waiting for offer letter and starting next month. The recruiter has been very helpful and responds to all my emails. Today he said the offer letter should be sent to me shortly.
  3. I agree with RunBabyRun. Took one month for a recruiter to contact me, another month for them to give me a verbal offer, and another month for start date.
  4. Houston Methodist

    I live in Boston and received a post card in the mail for a recruiting event. My excitement lasted about one second when I noticed that they requested at least 18 months experience, in specifically mentioned specialties. As a new grad, I immediately ...
  5. License Endorsement

    MA is very competitive but I am unsure of RI. It is about an your away from Boston. I guess it could be safe to assume that RI could be as competitive.
  6. License Endorsement

    Hi, My state (Massachusetts) does not participate in compact state license. Rhode Island (the state that I am interested in) does participate in compact state licensing. So I would have to be a resident on Rhode Island and apply to their state licens...

    Not speaking from experience. I have a friend that I worked with at a private HH and she was told it was ok to remove picc lines in home. She recently got a job at another hospital based HH where she was told that it is a HUGE no no. They have radio...
  10. NEW GRAD JOB CRISIS!

    You're right. I would totally jump on that boat but with a mother in her second round of lung cancer, I'm hesitant to move. But trust me, I was the first one in line to move. Many in my cohort have moved and found jobs in other states.
  11. NEW GRAD JOB CRISIS!

    I can speak for the Boston area... new grad = low chances of getting a job. That includes the facilities mentiomed above. I have applied to everything in a 50 mile radius. I have great connections, from nursing directors-chief of nursing and diversit...
  12. Some of Us Are Trying to Help You...

    During my clinical rotations, I was actually told not to talk to the other nurses, ask for help tp the other nurses or even do any procedures with nurses other than our clinical instructers. I must say, I did have great experiences and I am great...
  13. If you accept a job, stay at least a year

    My license is worth more than my loyalty to any healthcare facility.
  14. Job interview question

    Hello AN, Here I go once again. I had a job interview two weeks ago at one of the major children's hospital in the Boston area two weeks ago. Just a bit of information, I completed my pediatric clinical as well as my preceptorship/capstone in this ho...
  15. New grad advice

    Hello Lady free, I agree, non essential. But it's just a bit disconcerting when you're known to work for "that guy that slept with so and so". I know, I know, non essential… I am part of the company and I represent his name. His actions makes his ag...
