  1. New grad, first week off orientation and assigned at student nurse

    CaptScrubs13 replied to aem31's topic in First Year After Licensure

    AMOMO2 - I completely agree. From my clinical experiences, in most cases I did not expect the nurse to be actively teaching me something.. most of the time we were "on our own" doing VS, toileting,...

  4. What is the least you'd be willing to get paid as a new grad BSN?

    CaptScrubs13 replied to ixchel's topic in First Year After Licensure

    CaptScrubs13 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hi all, here is my dilemma: I interviewed at an LTC about 2 weeks ago, as it turns out the only position available is very part time (2 shifts/week). The next day HR called me to say they would like...

  6. Multiple offers?

    CaptScrubs13 replied to CaptScrubs13's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I was contacted by the PT position asking for my references #s again.. I reluctantly provided them since I still have nothing official from the FT job. Anyone know how long background checks take? I...

  7. Multiple offers?

    CaptScrubs13 replied to CaptScrubs13's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I didn't expect that the FT position background check would be done by now (only begun mid-Wednesday at best) but also no call from PT job which is ok I suppose. Is it even acceptable to ask for...

  8. New Grad just hired, need help stat!

    CaptScrubs13 replied to FloatDaddy's topic in Nursing Career

    That is the starting pay for RNs at one LTC/Rehab in Boston that I was quoted at (without differentials). I think we have a pretty high cost of living, so depending where you are, I don't think that...

    CaptScrubs13 replied to CaptScrubs13's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

  12. Multiple offers?

    CaptScrubs13 replied to CaptScrubs13's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  13. CEU help?

    CaptScrubs13 replied to FinallyLPN,RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm in MA, and tested in June. My birthday is in November and because I'm an RN, and those licenses renew on even years (as opposed to odd years for LPN) I get the joy of paying to renew my license 5...

    CaptScrubs13 replied to TheChiliGuy's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I think it all depends on the programs you're looking at. Do you have specific schools/programs in mind? Do you have a previous Bachelor's degree in another area - if so, would you consider an...
