Job outlook in Boston

Published

Hi everyone! I am wondering if you could shed some light on the job market in Boston. Specifically, how likely am I to land a job at one of the major hospitals with the following? I have an ASN and am enrolled in a BSN program, (four courses in), I have 18 months medsurg experience plus 18 months primary care experience. Any insight is helpful!!! :)

If you are looking for an acute care job in one of the major tertiary facilities, you will probably need to know someone to have a shot.

It is becoming more and more challenging to get in to hospitals without a BSN. I think it would be very challenging to get into one of the big trauma centers. I do think Mass Eye and Ear takes ASN nurses who are persuing a BSN, they have inpatient adult and inpatient pedi floors that are primarily ENT/Head and Neck Cancer and Surgery. I would consider an acute rehab hospital like Spaulding in Cambridge or going outside the city a bit while you finish your BSN. Hallmark Health (Lawrence Memorial and Melrose-Wakefield Hospitals) may take ASN while perusing a BSN and it would be good hospital experience for your resume.

No problem... I think MEEI is hiring too... I saw it on indeed the other day.
