I live in the boston area

Hello anyone please,... I am a RN in Massachusetts, and i am currently thinking to relocate to either Maryland or Atlanta GA. Can someone please answer my questions,... What is the base pay for and RN 0-1yr experience?? What are the chance of getting a hospital job with an Associate in Nursing degree?? I understand housing is cheaper,but how about other areas of expenses like grocery, gas, clothing, car, insurance etc, to sum up cost of living for what you get paid in GA?? I am a single mother to a six yr old boy, i also want to know about the school system for kids? Is it easy to get into a RN-BSN program, and list of some schools please?? Are there any nurses there who can also help, who have relocate to GA from either MA, MD of VA who advice me. I really what to be sure before I move because I really don't want to be in a situation where I will have to move again. I really want to work in a hospital, but in Massachusetts, most of the hospital are presently hiring only BSN nurses. Most of ADNs end up in nursing homes. MA is also very expensive and I am looking for much less expensive states with nicer weather and MD and GA are top of my list. Please I need advice. THANKS

I need advice.. This is my second week of orientation, and 2nd day on the unit of a LTC facility. I feel terrible, scared and dumb. Did any of you feel this way when you start working as a nurse..like you know nothing. I am suppose to be on orientation, but I feel that my preceptor and CNAs are expecting me to know everything already. HELLO.. I AM A NEW NURSE!!! I am also overwhelm because i will be doing only 2 weeks orientation on the unit with 22 patients. I have to give meds, do treatments and communication with MDs, NPs and other healthcare team, do different documentations,...How will I learn all that in 2 weeks and they are making me feel miserable already. I want to focus on learning now, but i am occupied with the fact that in 8 days, I will be left on my own with 22 patients. What should I do? Is this ok or maybe i am just dumb? I feel like nursing is not for me. Do you feel that way when you start. PLEASE HELPPPPP!!!

I check my result through quick results from pearsonvue site. My name will be on MA BON tomorrow. I paid $7.95 to check the result

PD&A means Prioritization, Delegation and Assignment by Linda Lacharity. I bought mine at Barne & Nobles for I think $25 or so.

I am from Massachusetts.

I will say do the best you can. I use sanders cd doing question in study mode, in content area,...and I will answer all the question for a particular content. It was easier for me because with study mode, u get the rationales immediately, and i will read every rationale whether i got the question right or wrong. NCSBN is good too, i did some questions from it and they were similar to nclex questions. Yes satan has different ways to distract you,...so please pray, pray and pray. Last week i was at the church 5 days fasting and praying and during those days didn't really study much. But i thank God i was so calm. You will surely make it in Jesus name

Don't worry too much, start thanking God, because he has done it already.

3 days. Quick result 48hr and the next day, your name will be on MA BON. I am from MA myself just find out i passed this morning...I took my exam on the 4th Dec.
