Hi there. I just started wokring at this agency because my hours have been reduced. Is anyone familiar with it? If so, what do you think of them? Do they have a lot of opportunities avail. for you?

Hi there. I live in Newton, which borders Waltham. Depending on where you will livei n Waltham, you could be potentially only 10 minutes from Boston-it's shaped weird like that. Moody Street is great-very ethnic-lots of good food. There is a large Gu...

That's all too common of a thought if you ask me. I, on the other hand have to say that it can be so CRAZY. I don't think people realize that wehn we have 5 patients, that we actually have ten, seeing how we are responsible for all infant vitals, ass...

Is there any magical potions when it comes to finding out where a fundus in. Sometimes I have such a hard time figuring it out. It almost always feels deviated to the right to me even if the patient has an empty bladder. Not to mention it takes me s ...

What is an IP?

I started orientation on the postpartum unit at a 400 bed community hospital. r had been wokring on the med-surge flood there as an aide for a bout a year before. Anyhow. I love it. Sometimes I sit there and wonder if I am dreaming. Can I really be g...

I work at MWMC FUH and they started me at 24.43 with 10% eve diff. and 15% night diff. Just started last week. Have worked there as a PCA for a year-really love it!

Awesome! I look forward to that day!

By golly I hope it's legal because I am working as an aide while waiting for a new grad position. I'm beggining to think it won't work for much longer though:(

Hi there. I am a new grad RN living in Massachusetts. I can not find a job to save my life. I have applied to over 60 jobs and nobody is hiring new grads. First of all, I was wondering-are there many positions in Texas for new grads like myslef? What...

Wow. thanks for your comments. They were appreciated and helpful. This may sound dumb, but what is an LVN? I'm thinking it may be what call an LPn but I'm not sure. Do either of you know whether the hospitals hire new grads year round or only once or...

I spoke to a nurse recruiter at South Shore and she said they are not hiring new grads again until December or February. I can't find a job either. I've been looking for 3 months.

I am a new grad RN and am starting work at a small community hopsital outside of Boston. My pay will be 24.25, with 10% diff for eves and 15% diff for nights. Does this sound low, high, avergae? I have no idea what the hospitals in Boston pay or the ...

Honestly? I have applied to Brigham and Womens, Beth Israel, Metro West Medical Center, Newton Wellesley, Mount Auburn, Emerson, Mass General, Beverly Hospital, Faulkner Hospital, Saint E's, NEMC and geez, I think that might be it. I cannot believe h...

Thanks. I was thinking of trying Beverly.

Don't feel bad about the job hunt. I'm in the same boat. Here, i live 5 minutes from Boston and will probably end up driving 40 miles to work just to have a job-Aaaagh!

Impalement!

In Massachusetts the CEU's are not required for the first year after passing the NCLEX. Other than that, they are usually offered in the work setting through inservices and what not.

Does anyone know if Umass Memorial hires new grads into L & D? I am thinking about moving to Sturbridge in the future. I just graduated and if I could work there it would be convenient. Even more great would be to work in L & D, which I am ha...

I feel your pain. I am 5.11 and take a 34 inch inseam. Many scrub makers make tall scrubs. Some I know of are Dickies and Crest. I'm sure if you look online and type in tall scrubs you will find some, BUT be sure to check the inseam. The funny thing ...

Hi there. I have an interview tommorow morning for a position in a PostPartum unit. My dream job is L&D. I thought I wouldn't stand a chance since this hospital doesn't normally hire new grads. BUT, they have decided to interview me and I am so n...

I took mine July 13 and got about 105 questions. I thought for sure I had failed and left feeling miserable. Found out I passed 2 days later. i think most of us feel we failed even though we didn't. I wish you look and will look forward to hearing yo...

OKAY, this may sound a little bazarre but on the way to take my test I brought an Enya Cd to listen too. I calmed me down a lot and I believe lowered my pressure and pulse extremely before I went in to take the test. Anything by her is very relaxing ...
