The clog shoppe in south weymouth (right next to south shore hospital) is great. Plus you get a discount (I forget exactly how much maybe 10%?) off full price shoes with a hospital/healthcare ID badge

Thanks very much for the input - the peer tutor position was I suppose similar to work study .. The professor who headed the program recommended me to take part; I could only do it in my second to...

There's so many.. Looks like kindred hospital Boston may be the type of facility I'm looking for (more acute cases... Not sub-acute SNF which is my current facility) ... Esme can you confirm?

I have 6 mos sub-acute under my belt.. just got ACLS certified today, trying to break into acute care. Wondering if my resume is screwing me over .. anyone care to take a look? Contact Info...

Really? The openings I've seen for Franciscan all seem to say experience required :(

I'm actually wondering about the same thing.. I have 6 months on a sub acute floor.. Not even sure that a new grad program would take me but I'm very interested in LTACH

Well, part of that depends on your career goals.. where do you want to be down the road 5 years from now? I think the hospital job would open up more opportunities for you; go, get at least a year...

$20k after my BSN. My bf went to the same school, different major and has over 85k (and this is after paying off about 15 already). It makes me nauseous to think about it.

32 hours/week .. Sometimes will pick up an extra to do 40.

Sorry missed the part about day shift.. My experience is its busier with rehab therapists coming in and out, docs in with new orders, discharges, families visiting. Also depends on the acuity of your...

My sub acute floor ratio is a max of 20 (we split the 40 bed floor so up to 20 each nurse if we're at max capacity). We are responsible for meds and treatments.. So initially 25-30 seems high but if...

I Am a new nurse with only 4 mos experience on the job. There are nurses who were working for 15-20 years when I was BORN who are still working now.Their experience is crazy - they've seen so much...

Just don't do every other day! M/w/f just is awful because I feel like my days off are just recovering and then going back. I'd maybe do t/w/th like someone else suggested, or split them 2 in a row...

Graduated mid may, took nclex first available date - one month later, interviewed beginning of September for my job and started 3 or 4 weeks later

One thing that you may find frustrating is the lack of "immediate" procedures .. ie labs .. Even if you order stat labs, they need to come out draw them bring them back then wait for the results.....

I'm at work now :) I was working from 2:30 until about 12 then my manager said go get some rest because we will probably need you to do 7-3 and 3-11 tomorrow .. Ugh! Can't wait until I can just go...

RN (BSN) at a sub-acute floor of a SNF right in Boston Base for our unit is $27, $2 diff for eves $3 for weekends. 32 hours a week so considered full time = full benefits.

I got my preceptor one of those willow tree angels that said thank you, a key chain with her initial and several bic 4-color pens (she loved them!!). For other clinical instructors we (as a group)...

I'm not sure how everyone thinks Obama should have miraculously fixed things in 4 years when it took a lot longer than that to get us here, and how on Earth Romney would be able do so (period). Rome...

Dr scholls for her makes a fairly inexpensive pair, i think $8 or so.. They're light compression but would be a decent start, and they're very comfortable! I have a more heavy duty pair that...

Probably not, more so because you're a new grad. You have no experience with which to bargain on. Most places have a standard pay scale for new nurses with very little wiggle room. I'd just be...

Don't limit yourself to posted openings - I eventually just sent my résumé and cover letter to facilities - I got 2 call backs in a week on this practice - neither had posted openings and neither...

I agree, talk to her and see if more time is possible. I just finished my 7th day of training on a sub acute unit on a SNF .. I am NOT ready to go on my own! Thank god, they've said I'll get 6ish...

AMOMO2 - I completely agree. From my clinical experiences, in most cases I did not expect the nurse to be actively teaching me something.. most of the time we were "on our own" doing VS, toileting,...

Boston LTC Sub-Acute floor = $27 base plus differentials
