you need to also consider those CNA's who started working while they were in nursing school, but never actually finished nursing school. One clinical semester would have qualified them to work as...

I'm an RN with a BSN & 1 year of nursing experience. I'm looking to break into pediatric nursing. I've been applying to absolutely every pedi or infant care job I can find in my area and then some....

Quit your whinning and START CELEBRATING. ITS ALMOST OVER. YAYYYYY!!!!:)

NP's working at any mass state hospital & centers are also covered by union under their own salary range and make more than RN's

I couldn't justify the cost of the BSN program either. I went the ADN route, was working at a rehab hospital as a CNA and they promoted me to an RN the minute I passed the NCLEX. I'm now enrolled...

I once worked with a nurse who had 5 children, all under the age of 12. She worked 2 - 16 hour shifts on the weekend only so that she could be home with her kids during the week. Working in a...

Try the rehab hospitals, community hospitals and nursing homes. Community hospitals will post positions with "BSN preferred" vs. "BSN required" which gives them wiggle room. Spaulding Rehab in...

Congratualtions! Working in an assisted living facility may not be the perfect place for an RN just starting out but it is a definite step up from unemployed and inexperienced. Am I correct in...

I'm glad it worked out for you. Unfortunately not many people qualify for enough financial aid to cover most of that tuition, at least not those who have a spouse at home who makes an average...

$24,000 for an LPN program is a hell of a lot of money when you can take the same program at your local community college for around $5,000. Heck, you can taken an RN program at your local community...

If you need to work you're better off going the LPN route and then work part-time while getting your ADN and sitting for the NCLEX so that you can work as an RN. I would then take classes part-time...

I used to do 12s on the weekends. Loved it. I also don't mind 16s. When i have a day off I almost always pick up an additional shift and pull a 16 hours shift before my day off. Its a great way...

Good Luck! But don't just look for "new grad programs" lots of places will hire a new grad even though they don't have an actual new grad program. Be willing to take part time and per diem just to...

try some of the state hospitals - Some of the hospitals use the RN II as their entry level and the clinical experiences under education will substitute for the one year of experience. I know someone...

Also look at Curry College, their classes run around $1250 each and they offer summer classes. The application process for non-degree classes are super quick there.

Romney/Ryan all the way!

I would also be interested in this information. Anyone out there?

Try the nursing homes and rehab centers. Don't be picky about hours and shifts....take whatever you're offered and suck it up so that you can get your foot in the door. Once you have that 1 year of...

If you just graduated 2011, you're renewing in December because your birthday falls in that month. and you will then go on a 2 year renewal schedule. You will not need CEU's for this renewal. When...

I say go for it, find a school with a great reputation whose tuition is low. Once' you've graduated and are an RN, it really doesn't matter which school you earned your degree in. I also suggest...

Also try Spaulding Rehab. They have locations in Boston, Cambridge and Danvers.

A lot of colleges have a pre-med program. Majoring in Biology will not give you the classes that are required as "pre-requisites" for med school such as microbiology, anatomy I & II, Ethics, etc, and...

I for one, don't think their research took into consideration the increase of RN's that colleges/universities are spitting out yearly. It far exceeds the vacancy % which is why there are so many...

I would suggest you go to one of their open houses, they do have a great program, but they also have a waiting list. If you're planning on going there next year, it would be a good idea to apply...

Anyone know what the shift diff is?
