4. Transitioning to L&D after med-surg

   eylee08 replied to danik's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I did my senior internship in OB at a childbirth center and ended up getting a job there as a new grad after I graduated. I do admit that I think a year or so in med surg would have been beneficial but I wouldn't trade my job for anything. I was neve...

9. Baystate medical center, springfield, ma

   eylee08 replied to classics70s's topic in Massachusetts

   I applied to over a hundred jobs there with no response from them. It's a tough hospital to get into. I had almost all my clinicals there and depending on the unit, I've heard a lot of people not liking it there too much as a patient and a nurse.

    I just accepted a job offer today and I graduated with a bachelor's in May 2012. When I graduated I thought I was going to get a job right away, unfortunately that was not the case and that's how it's going for a lot of new nurses right now. There ar...

12. NCLEX in two days!

    eylee08 posted a topic in NCLEX
