Hi all! I'm looking for some advice and insight into a potential job opportunity within addiction nursing. First off, I'm a fairly recent (December 2020) grad, and began my career working in an adolescent inpatient pysch unit. Now, don't get me wrong...

@RNklur So when I applied a few weeks ago they had said that that Friday was the application date...but I've also seen it advertised a few times since then so maybe they extended the deadline? I had a recruiter reach out to me the next day after appl...

Hi everyone! I've recently applied to CHA for their new grad program, and have indicated to them that I am interested in psych. Psych has always been a passion of mine, and though I admit I have had some (not uncommon it seems) feelings of loss regar...

Hi @Stephanie Boehler I am based in MA! Would it be okay if I PM you? I would love to touch base some more and see if you could answer a few questions I have. Thanks!

I have recently come across a new graduate program that I am interested in applying to. The company is a home health care company, specializing in mental illness (stable individuals living with depression, ptsd, schizophrenia, etc.). I am super pumpe...

@GoldenRN2022 I'm interested to know (if you don't mind sharing), how does the pay of this program compare to other new grad programs/traditional entry RN positions? Do you find it reasonable? Thanks!

Thanks for the reply @TheMoonisMyLantern ? I'm curious to know, did you work psych home care, or inpatient? I'd be interested in both, but it just so happens that I came across the new grad program and I feel as though it would be a better fit.

@nursy Thank you! ?

Hi all, I hope everyone is keeping safe and well during these trying times. I'm set to graduate in December (?) and am beginning to explore some of my career interests and opportunities more in-depth. Currently, I work as a CNA in an acute long-term ...

@Jedrnurse Understandable. I can only imagine what someone must be going through when an instance such as this occurs. But then again, I feel this applies to all areas of nursing. As a care provider, I value providing my patients with the utmost of c...

@Jedrnurse I haven't specifically worked on a spinal cord injury unit before, but I do have experience in a rehabilitation setting. At the facility where I work now, I would say that approximately 90% of the patients are immobile and require almost 1...

I'm curious to know...what are your schools planning on for fall semesters due to COVID?? Here in MA, we're still in "Phase 1" of re-opening the state, and no one has heard how school will be impacted come the fall. Clearly, we were all pulled from c...

Hi all! I hope everyone has been safe and well throughout these unprecedented times. I'm looking for some feedback and thoughts regarding a potential job opportunity I have. To give you a background about myself to keep in mind, I am currently in the...

Hi everyone! Today I was offered the position and have gladly accepted ? Now...what's everyone's favorite shift to work and why???

Hi there ? I'm wondering if anyone here has gone straight into mental health nursing??

So many helpful thoughts and insights! Thank you so much everyone! At this point I am still currently waiting to hear back regarding the position, but I believe I am set on accepting their offer if it is presented ?

So interesting to hear what everyone's schools have in mind! We spoke to our program director yesterday, and unfortunately she's still not sure if we'll be allowed back in the hospitals, mainly because of the fact that we're scheduled to complete our...

Good to know. I'm currently in the process of completing an accelerated BSN program, and have always been drawn to this specialty. Originally, I have a bachelors in psych. I'm considering applying for a mental health associates' position while finish...

Nursing case managers, I'm curious to hear about your likes/dislikes of the job and career/education experience. Thanks! Stay safe and well ?

Congrats on getting through the program @pme42! I am wondering if you could report a bit on what studying techniques/tips you found to be most helpful? I understand that everyone has their unique styles of course. One thing in particular however; did...

Hi all! First off, congrats to everyone in the program; such an exciting time! I myself am anxiously awaiting the start of the Fall 2019 Plymouth program ? We have just gone through orientation, and I can't wait! That being said, I'm wondering if any...

Hi there! I'm currently in the process of finishing up my application ? Have you applied or been accepted yet??

Hi all! Over the past year I have been taking several pre-requisite courses at Quincy College with the intent of enrolling in an accelerated nursing program (I already have a first bachelors degree) at another institution. Lately however, I've been r...

Congrats, and good luck to you in your nursing career! I agree completely...I already have a first degree so I'll be able to focus solely on my nursing courses, aside from micro. However, if all goes according to plan, I'll be finishing up micro just...

Hi there! I'm literally in the exact same situation! I already have a first degree (Bachelors), and have been considering the part time ASN program for spring 2019. To my knowledge, in regards to prerequisites, you must have completed the TEAS exam, ...
