You should definitely try Maxim out, I have a friend in NY who swears by the, and I use them up where I am. Give it a try!

I agree.. I know firsthand that there is a definite shortage of nurses in this area. Nursing schools are being too "choosey" for the shortage to continue. They aren't educating enough nurses to overcome this. Yes, all the baby boomers are retiring which is sad in itself seeing as how they are the best nurses in the medical feild by bar. But we do not have enough nurses to keep up with them starting to fill up facilities and hospitals. It's scary... but true

I think it all depends on what kind of setting you are looking for. I know with Maxim, they PREFER a year but will usually take 6 months to a year at least. BUt if you are a new RN that was an LPN you usually can start working as a floor RN immediately.

well, if any of you are willing to go outside of ma, i know there are opps in ct. let me know if you're interested.
