    3sodapop replied to 3sodapop's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Yup, it is. I applied there and interviewed for a MD office job, but I didn't get it. I'll wait to see if I'm hired in NH first cuz it's pretty complicated and expensive and you have to go to Concord...

    3sodapop replied to 3sodapop's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks all! I'm going to put together a little bag to keep in the car: gloves, bandages, blanket, flashlight, scissors, extra stethoscope. Better late than never.

    3sodapop replied to 3sodapop's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    You are right! I am limiting myself. But, I LIVE IN THE STICKS. My husband commuted from Groton to Reading for years. He left the house at 6am; got home at 6:30pm. Snow..rain...not my idea of fun....

    3sodapop replied to 3sodapop's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Thanks for the idea! The closest Fallon office is in Leominster. Unfortunately it is 38 minutes/27 miles away from home. It's just a little too far IMO. I REALLY appreciate the
