  1. I think Dartmouth-Hitchcock has offered one in the
  2. I'm considering applying in Hartford potentially, depending on a few things. There appear to be more jobs available in this area than in MA where I work now. I have some questions: 1: How's the job...
  3. May 2009 OLD grad, called 17 hospitals today...

    Your best bet if you want to stay in MA is look at ALL community hospitals, LTC, rehab and even dialysis, but even then the positions are scant. What hospital do you work at? Most community hospitals...
  4. Part of the answer depends on your location. Ask around if you can to new grads in the area. In Massachusetts, for example, there are very little opportunities right now for new grads, and ADNs for...
  5. "Nurses Are So Mean"

    You make a lot of valid points. However, I can think of one educator of new grads in particular who, after talking to every fellow new grad I knew who she precepted, it was complained about that she...
  6. Navy Nurse Candidate Program

    Dumb question... what is the difference between a reserve Navy Nurse and an Active Duty Navy Nurse? I clearly don't have a military background but am interested in the scholarship opportunities the...
  7. Do you guys really hate nursing this much?

    There are times that are stressful; most of those times as a new nurse consist of getting down on myself that I don't have as much knowledge or experience that I wish I did. And of course as a young...
  8. UPS Drivers make HOW much????

    Argo - making 130K with 3 years experience??? Does your hospital have any job openings
  9. UPS Drivers make HOW much????

    Working for UPS is backbreaking work. You have to load and unload heavy packages on those trucks every day. No
  10. I am thinking about going back to school to get my NP. I'm wondering how much competition for jobs there are out there. Was it hard for you to find a job out of school? How do you think it might be...
  11. Thank you, those are really good answers. I hope you don't mind if I ask what part of the country you're from? Also, some nurses I was working with were saying that salarywise, NPs start out at less...
  12. Nurse Residency Programs

    Nothing available in Massachusetts unless you are an internal applicant right
  13. Nursing shortage: A myth?

    I wish people who are responding would add the state in which they are looking for jobs. I can tell you in Massachusetts, the new grad market is glutted to say the least! After graduating, I applied...
  14. To recent new grads: I'm trying to get some idea of what my hubby will be facing when he graduates with his ASN this Fall. If you could kindly respond with the approximate dates you graduated, took...
  15. Thanks for all your replies! So there is hope! I forgot to ask where everyone is located... I think there are differences depending on where you live. It seems all but impossible for a new grad in...
  16. I'm sure you could talk to your nurse manager. You might be able to wear it instead of the surgical cap - others bring surgical caps from home so I don't see the difference between that and a head...
  17. Stop calling me kid...

    Unless he is your supervisor/charge/manager and has a right within his job role to delegate work for you to do... just say no. A simple "I'm sorry, I don't have time" will
  18. Young Mom in Nursing School!/Help!

    Kudos to you for working to provide your family a better future. My husband just finished his second to last semester while working full time and taking care of our newborn baby while I worked. It was...
  19. Scared Of Poop!!!!!!!!! Help!!!!!!!

    Everybody has at least one particular challenge which they have to overcome as they become nurses. Mine was anxiety/confidence. NSG school goes a long way to help you with that. Don't let anyone...
  20. I am going back to work in less than a week from maternity leave. For the health of my baby I will attempt to exclusively breastfeed until she is at least six months. I have heard that to maintain...
  21. How do you manage to get to work in snow storms ?

    All wheel drive. Drive slow. Leave very early. Don't freak out when people in SUVs pass you going 80mph. All wheel drive. All wheel
  22. Male Nurses/female Patients

    It's kind of sad that there is a double standard like that in those hospitals. A female nurse doesn't need a chaperone or witness to cath a male pt, for example. Double standards like that also exist...
  23. Womens interest in male nurses

    Met my husband when we were both in nursing school. He is the sexiest man I've ever met. He's never had problems with women finding him attractive (and still doesn't have problems getting hit on!)....
