  1. Anyone work at Beverly Hospital?

    NeoPediRN replied to NeoPediRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Thank you! Yes, she started at Beverly in March. I have been told she really helped boost the floor morale on certain

  2. Anyone work at Beverly Hospital?

    NeoPediRN replied to NeoPediRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    One of my best friends works on J5, she was a tech there before becoming an RN and she feels the same way. From what I understand it's one of the best floors in the hospital to work on. I'd call HR to...

  3. New England Baptist Hospital- YAY or NEY ??

    NeoPediRN replied to GuatericanNurse's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I find this story difficult to be credible, especially since according to this writer she was basically abused by basically every single person at the hospital. Interesting that she dropped the...

  4. Anyone work at Beverly Hospital?

    NeoPediRN replied to NeoPediRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    So far so good! Everyone is so friendly and my nurse manager is a love. I can't wait to learn new

  5. help!

    NeoPediRN replied to karma482's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Yikes. I'm so sorry Liz, I know you were so excited about starting on this floor. Do you want to PM to go into more detail? What kind of hazing are you experiencing? To me what you're describing...

  6. Finally got a job, but I got tickets for a two-day concert...

    NeoPediRN replied to elenasalh's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would just be honest. I just obtained a new position and start Monday, but have had a vacation planned in October for months. I talked to HR and the RN manager and they just put me in now for an...

  7. Best places in Massachusetts for new nurses?

    NeoPediRN replied to vlmusicalsound's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Not in the foreseeable future. New grad positions are taking over a year after graduation to obtain. I just got my first real hardcore med-surg position and I'm 14 months out...still isn't where I...

  8. Anyone work at Beverly Hospital?

    NeoPediRN replied to NeoPediRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Hi, thanks so much for replying. I'm starting on J2, which I understand is a CRAZY busy floor. I'm hoping to do pedi per diem as that's the area I work in now, and eventually move to the

  9. Possibly moving to Mass-advice please?

    NeoPediRN replied to lupin's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I would truly consider moving to another area. The economy is not picking up much around the Boston area at all, actually. There are a couple of specialties that are hiring but you really have to...

  10. Need advice about leaving a position.

    NeoPediRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    The past few weeks have been a whirlwind for me and I could use some advice. In January I obtained an amazing position working on a women's and children's floor. It's a combination of pediatrics,...

  11. Need advice about leaving a position.

    NeoPediRN replied to NeoPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    As much as I would love to do that I can't afford to pay for an extra room. The pay is much lower where I work compared to where I live because the state I work in has a significantly lower cost of...

  12. Nursing School: Did you GAIN or LOSE weight?

    NeoPediRN replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Nursing

    Gained, a lot! I'm finally starting to lose it now

  13. Need advice about leaving a position.

    NeoPediRN replied to NeoPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    I spend almost $70/week in gas. I just bought a 2009 Honda CRV with 12 miles on it in March, and I have over 8,000 on it already. I agree with the commuting piece, that is one of the major issues. I'm...

  14. pregnant woman's weight gain????

    NeoPediRN replied to princess007's topic in General Nursing

    D, you'd want to make sure the weight gain isn't related to

  15. The weight of the world.

    NeoPediRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Just wanted to let it out in a safe place. My dad has been in the MICU for over a week with a GI bleed and septicemia...also on the liver transplant list. He grew out MRSA in his sputum, ascites,...

  16. The weight of the world.

    NeoPediRN replied to NeoPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    I just wanted to update that my father passed away peacefully on Tuesday with his family at his side. It is such a relief to know that he can now do all of the things his body held him from here on...

  17. Use some class/compassion

    NeoPediRN replied to nkara's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Are you Nkara from Cambridge

  18. Need Advice on Proctored Question

    NeoPediRN replied to CanbyCarol's topic in General Nursing

    That's kind of a loaded question to ask someone trying to get INTO a nursing program, as culturally competent care is something you learn throughout the program and it is ridiculous to expect the...

  19. The weight of the world.

    NeoPediRN replied to NeoPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    It's just so hard. I'm the only one who really knows my dad is going to die. I don't want to be responsible for telling my mom, whenever I gently break something to her she just falls apart. I'm not...

  20. Did you have any other options?

    NeoPediRN replied to Coloradogrl's topic in General Nursing

    Med school.

  21. Nursing Programs: GPA, # of times you applied, area. :-)

    NeoPediRN replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Nursing

    I applied to 4 Boston/Boston area nursing programs, accepted for direct entry into all on the first try. 3.8

  22. nursing student PCA Tech--Urgent

    NeoPediRN replied to stillwant2banurse's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Unfortunately the market here is horrible. Most Boston and metro Boston hospitals are on a hiring freeze with minimal job postings, and it has been like this for almost two years now. Right now...

  23. 3 year contract?

    NeoPediRN replied to RNMariposa's topic in General Nursing

    Is this Dartmouth-Hitchcock by any chance? If so, I wouldn't sign it if they were offering $3 million a year for that 3 years. I wouldn't sign a three year contract regardless of the hospital. If it's...

  24. Have you seen Zyprexa, Risperdal, Remeron...make a difference?

    NeoPediRN replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I work in pedi psych and I have seen these meds make a difference in patients experiencing acute episodes. With Zyprexa we tend to use the Zydis form because it acts rapidly. I have also seen...

  25. Honesty during the interview

    NeoPediRN replied to JohnUNF's topic in General Nursing

    Oh boy, if that's your reason for going into nursing you are going to be sorely disappointed. Nursing is NOT a secure profession, please google nursing and recession and you will see many nurses have...
