    Hang in there, things are bound to change. It is just awful out here right now. And remember there is no shame in working at something else to pay the

    DisneybearRN replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Thanks Pexx. I know how lucky I am. I don't think I would have a shot if I wasn't already working at my hospital. It has become a real "who you know" game out there which is really tough. Keep the...

  10. MGH is offering new grad ICU internship for $11.44 an hour?

    DisneybearRN replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I have never questioned whether this could be a good opportunity for learning. I have ONLY questioned the pay scale. I cannot afford, have the time, nor have any desire to volunteer for 40 hour weeks....

  14. MGH is offering new grad ICU internship for $11.44 an hour?

    DisneybearRN replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I am going to try to be brief as you all know how long winded I can be. No one is saying that internships are not good! And again it is not promoted as an internship, but a residency with a "salary"...

  15. MGH is offering new grad ICU internship for $11.44 an hour?

    DisneybearRN replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I also thought that nurses would have stood together on this issue. I unfortunately am sadly disappointed. Wouldn't it benefit nursing if we all strove for more money? I have read things like "they...

  16. MGH is offering new grad ICU internship for $11.44 an hour?

    DisneybearRN replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Wow! I really had no idea my first post would start such debate! I am really enjoying it. I just reread everything and even those that are defending this program so vehemently usually say the pay is...

    I used both, but found Saunders more complete. Hurst had great test taking tips as well as good charts to

  19. MGH is offering new grad ICU internship for $11.44 an hour?

    DisneybearRN replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    What makes you think I am angry? I am not. I don't see why keeping the focus on Massachusetts for this discussion is out of line and trying to keep the discussion not personal. I do apologize for...

  20. MGH is offering new grad ICU internship for $11.44 an hour?

    DisneybearRN replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    It is still too low a figure for a full time position internship, residency, or otherwise. They could have done a lot of things! They could have offered less applicants the chance and paid an entry...

  21. MGH is offering new grad ICU internship for $11.44 an hour?

    DisneybearRN replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Sweetie! Your area is irrelevant. We are talking about Boston and Massachusetts. Just because there are not a lot of jobs, does not eliminate prevailing wage. New grads have been hired recently in...

  22. MGH is offering new grad ICU internship for $11.44 an hour?

    DisneybearRN replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    OK. I am in the minority here. $11.44 is a reasonable starting wage for a new grad! I haven't seen wages that low for an R.N. anywhere else in the country, and I have looked. Experienced nurses are...

  23. MGH is offering new grad ICU internship for $11.44 an hour?

    DisneybearRN replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    How is your license on the line if you don't take a job? You lost me there. Calling me "Sweetie" is disrespectful. There is no need to make the discussion personal. But is the prevailing wage for...

  24. MGH is offering new grad ICU internship for $11.44 an hour?

    DisneybearRN replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Huh? A computer science degree is more schooling than a BSN? Both have the same number of credit hours at colleges across the country. You can get a BS in computer science without clinical hours. And...

  25. MGH is offering new grad ICU internship for $11.44 an hour?

    DisneybearRN replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    You will still be functioning as a nurse which puts your license on the line! Is 11.44 an hour worth that? They are not offering a permanent job, just that you were be "poised". I guarantee you if...
