Thank you SO much for the feedback!! this is really good advice. and congratulations to you for getting back into the hospital!

looking for some advice...I obtained my BSN in nursing 8 years ago. out of college, did 1 year med-surg at prestigious hospital in Boston. I learned ALOT there! then I had my children, and needed very specific hours, so I left and went into ambulat...

hi, does anyone attend UMASS Worcester grad school of nursing? preferably the traditional masters pathway? i was interested in finding out what the class schedule is like for this particular program...how many days per week...what type of hours? than...

Hi, I had an interview with a great hospital in Boston and it went really well! they called me 2 days later to come in this friday to shadow a nurse on the floor x 4 hours and meet staff. does this sound like they would be making an offer? has anyone...

Sorry, I just re-read your post, and saw you live south of Boston. I just checked Harvard Vanguard's website. They have a TON of LPN positions for flu clinics coming up. This is an EASY and GREAT way to make some extra $$$. I always sign up for flu c...

I'm not sure where you live, but go to http://www.fallonclinic.com. They have a FT LPN position in internal medicine in Webster. Also, apply for the RN positions as well. They often hire LPN's for the RN positions. I have a BSN and have been a RN for...

I say...if you were lucky enough to get accepted to pharmacy school, stick with it! I've been trying to get into a PharmD program since the year 2000, and chose nursing as a 2nd profession, and spend every day of my life regretting not getting better...

try fallon clinic. they hire LPN's for the RN positions that are posted online. good $ too

Hi there.....i totally feel what you went through, because i am going through the same thing. I have been off orientation for 2 months now, and every morning i have to go into work i have a full-fledged panic attack. i vomit every single morning and ...

So I started my 1st hospital job in one of the most prestigious hospitals in MA about 3-4 months ago. Prior to this, I did an outpatient job x 1 year and 1/2. Everyone always says that you need hospital experience to really be a good nurse. Plus, I t...

yeah, we rarely get 4 patients during the day. it's almost always 3. i really haven't worked alot of nights, but from what i see, its usually 4-5 patients. that is one thing i am grateful of. i can't imagine handling more than 3 patients and feeling ...

med surg floor, high acuity. we get 3-4 patients in day, and 5-6 at night

The biggest piece of advice I can give you guys is get a job somewhere, even if it is NOT a hospital. I always thought that if i got a job in an outpatient clinic then I would NEVER get into a hospital. The opposite was true. I graduated with a BSN i...

Pure luck to be honest. It seems odd that in the midst of the worst economy ever, is when i get the offer. i worked in a pedi outpatient clinic for the past year. I have applied to hospitals every week for like 2 years. i had over 47 applications in ...

GOT JOB OFFER YESTERDAY!! been waiting for hospital job since 5/07! so excited!

Hi, I totally feel your pain. I graduated with a BSN in 5/07. had to wait 9 months to get an outpatient job. yesterday finally got 1st hospital offer ever since graduating. well worth the wait. offer is at mass general in boston. so excited!

no, i have 1 year experience in pedi urgent care. :)

Hi, I graduated 5/07 with a BSN in nursing and have been looking for a hospital job ever since (i do outpatient right now). I applied to every hospital in the state except Springfield over the past 2 years, and only got invited for 2 interviews--both...

Hi, I graduated in 2007 with a BSN, and have yet to get a hospital job. i work in a doctor's office, and am wondering if i stay there, will i ever get a hospital job? i have applied to every hospital in the state, over and over since last year. can't...

Hi October Bride, Does Youville have a good orientation program. How long is it? I am thinking of applying there very soon. I work for a place that leaves me as the only RN MANY TIMES!! I'm sick of putting my license at risk! Thanks:wink2:

HI there, Try Fallon Clinic.... they have 26 different locations in Massachusetts and can put you into specialties such as OB/GYN, pediatrics, internal med etc. they are always looking for LPN's. I work there as a RN, and it's a great work environme...

Hi, I work for fallon clinic. they hire new grad LPN's in pediatrics, pediatric urgent care, adult urgent care, internal med, ob/gyn. it's another option to consider. good luck check out their website

Hi everyone! I thought it might be helpful for people to share where they got hired after graduating this May/June.... How do you like your new job, starting salary decent?, and were they fast to respond to your application? This might help alleviate...

Hello, I worked about 30 hrs per week while in the program, and I thought the program overall is very doable. the professors are there for the students, and want all of them to succeed. Once you get into clinicals, you can expect 2 days of classes p...

Susan Robinson, MD at Fallon Clinic in Worcester is amazing. You can look up info about her at fallonclinic.org, and she is accepting new patients. Good Luck!
