  1. Medical School after NP?

    275Main replied to Dave ARNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I guess since time is an issue this might not be an option, but I believe that Columbia is in the process of developing a DrNP (Doctor of nursing practice) program in which a graduate will have...

  2. ?s about Mass hospitals

    275Main replied to 275Main's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I guess I was also wondering what the hourly pay is like...I would assume in at least the mid-twenties per hour? But I saw another post where someone indicated that they were paid 21 per hour in...

  3. Charms of Maine

    275Main replied to NICU_RNwantsFL's topic in General Nursing

    I do not know that much about the drive up from the carolinas, but if that is what you intend to do, I would also suggest to go to Newport RI, very old money coastal destination. You can see and tour...

  4. Tucson, Az

    275Main replied to mspringer's topic in General Nursing

    New grad starting pay is around 19 to 20 per hour without diff. I would say work at UMC since the ratio is 1:4 (and they stick to it !!), also they are a magnet hospital and since they are also a...

  5. Hospitals in Boston; fun?

    275Main replied to Steph in Boston's topic in General Nursing

    I would say work at MGH, I worked there in clinical research before my accelerated BSN, so I do not know how it is there for CNAs (i believe they call them PCAs there). But it is a magnet hospital...

  6. I have narrowed it down, sort of...

    275Main replied to Steph in Boston's topic in General Nursing

    When I applied to Simmons through the Dix Scholars program (this was a little over 2 years ago), I had no problem getting in..in fact I was basically admitted before all of my application was...

  7. what to look for in a hospital?

    275Main replied to pollywog's topic in Nursing Career

    As some one who signed a contract without seeing the hospital and then moved cross country (big mistake, for this and other reasons), these are my suggestions: 1. Ratios! -(also ask about how many...

  8. Ivy League = Best Grad School?!?!?

    275Main replied to jewelsg627's topic in General Nursing

    If you are a Cal native, go UCSF, the first year is expensive, but the subsequent years you would go for in-state and if you worked part or full time after you took the NCLEX (which most programs say...

  9. New overtime bill

    275Main replied to PHM's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    How do unions fit into this bill? If the hospital has a strong nursing union, do the nurses still get overtime...or is everyone suscepitble to this policy change (I have heard conflicting info about...

  10. how competitive are direct-entry programs?

    275Main replied to mollylk77's topic in General Students

    I remember when I applied to prgrams in Boston (for the 2003 year), I believe that BC had something like 300 applicants for 30 slots. I do not know about MGH, since I did not apply, but I do know...

  11. ADN v BSN coursework

    275Main replied to PMHNP10's topic in General Nursing

    If you already have a BS then my advice would be to do an accelerated BSN program, they tend to be between 11-16 months long, they are intense but you get your BSN in about a year. And the difference...

  12. Need Advice about Hospital Contract

    275Main posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have a work commitment with a hospital in exchange for tuition and will be finishing my degree in August. Unfortunately, it looks like due to unforseen circumstances I will need to move and I am...

  13. What are Ca salaries really like?

    275Main replied to creeves's topic in California Nursing

    $35 per hour as a new grad? If I may be so bold as to ask, where in Cal is this? San Fran? I have seen around 33 per hour but not with the same

  14. Best Paid State For Nursing

    275Main replied to bashy's topic in General Nursing

    Go to Salary.com, there you can choose the city you want to work in, get the salary then view the differences in cost of living between two places based on salary. I have found that their salary...

  15. Accelerated Nursing Degree

    275Main replied to mookie's topic in Arizona Nursing

    One thing about AccBSN programs is that in the first year there are a lot of kinks (this is a common remark from people in the first year of an Accelerated program)...since the U of A program will be...

  16. Accelerated Nursing Degree

    275Main replied to mookie's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm in the Accelerated BSN program at the U of A. you can pm

  17. NYS Board for Nursing New Resolution

    275Main replied to robinsap's topic in General Nursing

    Whoa..I don't think that this post was ment to start the ADN vs. BSN war. I agree that it is a positive move for the cahnge to a required BSN, and it has nothing to do with anyone being a better...

  18. Good NYC hospitals

    275Main posted a topic in New York Nursing

    I know that there is a thread about the best hospitals in NYC for a new grad, but no one mentioned Mount Sinai, Bellvue, or Beth Isreal. Which one's-out of all the big hospitals-are considered to be...

  19. Accelereated Nursing Program in NY

    275Main replied to jstelf's topic in New York Nursing

    Last I knew, Stoneybrook had a 12 month AccBSN..check their nursing school

  20. help with tuition???

    275Main replied to greengatsby's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I worked for partners health care, not as a nurse, but they only offered a max of $2000 per year for a full time employee. Partners includes MGH and the Brigham as well as a quite a few other...

  21. BA to RN programs???

    275Main replied to jgreenage's topic in New York Nursing

    Since you have a BA you should go for an AccBSN program. I know that NYU has one as does SUNY Stoneybrook (this prgram is 12 months long). Go to allnursingschools.com and they list AccBSN programs...

  22. Why there is a debate re: ADN/BSN

    275Main replied to Berkeley's topic in General Nursing

    I think what gets lost in these types of posts is the fact that no one is trying to determine which degree make a "better" nurse. As stated by others, it is the person who determines what type of a...
