  1. Did I have a Nervous Breakdown?

    sallynRN posted a topic in Health, Stress Management

    I'm 47 & I've been a RN for just over 2 yrs. Five months after graduation I took a job as a telephone triage nurse in the adult internal med dept. at a large group practice. Before nursing school...

  2. New Grad RN is a 4-Letter Word

    sallynRN posted a topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Is there ANYONE in the state of MA who will hire a new grad? It's so disheartening to look at hundreds of RN job postings each day and see the comment, "this job not available to new grads." I spend...

  3. Do I have enough experience?

    sallynRN replied to rn-n- 2005's topic in Telephone Triage

    I won't be in a "call center," if that makes a difference. I'll be in the adult internal medicine dept. of a group medical practice (so no pedi - they have their own triage nurses). I will have 8...

  5. New Grad RN is a 4-Letter Word

    sallynRN replied to sallynRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

  6. New Grad RN is a 4-Letter Word

    sallynRN replied to sallynRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Hopefully by the time you finish school things will have turned around - you never know. If you have the time and the finances to earn a degree now, do it NOW! I was 40 when I started college, and I...

  7. Do I have enough experience?

    sallynRN replied to rn-n- 2005's topic in Telephone Triage

    "Do I have enough experience?" I would think it depends on the company you work for, etc. I'm a brand-spankin' new ADRN, and I just got hired at a large group medical practice to do telephone...

  8. So Confused! Prison Nursing or Not?

    sallynRN posted a topic in Correctional

    I'm so confused about whether or not prison nursing would be the right job for me. I'm a new grad RN and there is a possibility of a part-time job (24-32 hrs/wk; 11p - 7a) at a max security facility...

  11. So Confused! Prison Nursing or Not?

    sallynRN replied to sallynRN's topic in Correctional

    I think they do hire new grads. I had a little mini telephone interview, and she was reading my cover letter/resume and mentioned how I just took the NCLEX in July. She's going to send me a CORI...

    sallynRN replied to sallynRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Thanks Selene006 for the well wishes. I hope I will find something soon too! I can't believe someone would quit that soon after being hired, especially with the job market the way it

  15. New Grad entering Skilled Nursing

    sallynRN replied to beat2beat's topic in Nursing Career

    Can you tell us which skilled nursing facility hired you? I desperately want to go into rehab and/or LTC, but even those facilities aren't hiring new grads (I just graduated in

    sallynRN replied to jhall9165's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    First of all, CONGRATS! Second of all, how did you manage that? I did a med-surg rotation at Lahey and was told there was a hiring freeze - only internal applicants would be accepted and definitely...
