Just wanted to give an update, I have just over a month to finish my BSN and I think I will eventually enroll in a nurse educator program. I think it allows you to advance your knowledge, educate and still focus on a particular specialty. Let us know how things have turned out!

Congrats on getting into maternal child health! How everything is working out for you both?? I am relocating to Boston and would like get get an idea of how you are enjoying the unit? I work in Maternal Child health and have done a few different things since I became and RN in 2012. Currently I'm working in high risk OB and hoping to get a job in L&D but I have no experience in that particular area. I have heard great things about BMC, Bringham & Womens as well as MGH! I'm looking for a unit that is very supportive and with a variety of acuity so I can gain some skills. I'm hoping that my ability to speak Spanish and Portuguese can help that. Also, I will be graduating my BSN program this MAY and I'm super excited!!!!! Any tips, advice would be awesome, also coming from NYC area, I was wondering what the pay range is like? Thanks :)

Empress0511 Wonderful news!! I know that this is somewhat of an old post, but I just wanted to say CONGRATS! Could you provide some tips, advice for fellow nurses who are also interested in sharing this journey. I would love to hear from you and how things are going. keep at it!!! :)

I'm interested in review material as well, please share the wealth :)

Good luck to all of you :)

I had my gigantic book divided into neatly organized booklets. Just go to Staples or Kinkos and it takes like a day or 2. Best thing I ever did for my back :)

hi, i will be starting the LPN to RN also, but it does not begin in Jan 2010 as i was also told by a counselor...email [email protected] if you have any questions ...the program will start in Sept 2010, even though we were all given the wrong info lol

u dont have to work any X amount of time to get into Essex county college, but that school is a disaster,(partly why im not there)...i did my LPN at UCC and will be returning to complete my RN hopefully it will go well..i heard great things about raritan valley also! good luck!

i agree its all about location and cost of living!

i went to nursing school in NJ.

i work at a OBGYN clinic

Im in NJ, but work in NYC as a new grad, i was getting paid $25/hr...more then my friends working in Nursing homes!...it depends on your location.

-YES, i would reccomend this place (do your prerequistes first) -No, there werent any glass when i graduated may of 2008, but it could have changed -Teachers were EXCELLENT, and extremely helpful -I was VERY prepared for the NCLEX -Clinicals may vary, but i know Trinitas in Elizabeth, Beth Israel in Newark, Rahway Hospital and few others -It took be about 2 months to find a job (everyone wants experience) -I would without a doubt recommend this school Hope that helps -Marta
