    Yllomia replied to devulms21's topic in Travel

  2. US RN Looking to Work in UK...With a Twist?

    Yllomia replied to LotusRN1972's topic in International Nursing

  3. Moving to Boston (MGH) - questions about in state licensing

    Yllomia replied to janetinherpalace's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    There's no need to fly out to Mass just to take the exam. You can take the NCLEX at a testing center in another state and still be able to apply for initial licensure in Massachusetts. Your school...

  4. Hoping to move back to Mass. after living/working abroad

    Yllomia replied to Kaylesh's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

  5. CNA training in Boston

    Yllomia replied to AliDrewThis's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I did the CNA program at the Red Cross in Cambridge in 2009. It was excellent and I highly recommend it. If anything, it will help decide if nursing is something you really want to pursue and you...

  6. Is Cape Cod just a dumb idea for a new grad?

    Yllomia replied to anashenwrath's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I grew up on the Cape, but live in Vermont now. The job market there is better than Boston. I worked in LTC on the Cape for 6 months right after school and landed the job right away. I'm not sure...

    Yllomia replied to jkn400's topic in Nursing Career

    Yllomia replied to xslide's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yllomia replied to RN_SummerSeas's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    The Kindreds in Wareham and Dennis are both very similar facilities. They both have sub acute units and hire new grad ADNs. Even if you get hired on an LTC unit you can easily switch to sub-acute...

    Yllomia replied to KellyRN2011's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Yllomia replied to Lucidity's topic in General Nursing

    I'm from Mass. I graduated last year and landed a job right away in a nursing home. I kept on applying for jobs in hospitals and was offered one six months later in Vermont. I worked as a CNA/PCT...

  16. Regis-Transferring?

    Yllomia replied to seasons18's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Lawrence Memorial students do take basic science and liberal arts classes at Regis. I think it would only help you to take more classes at community college, it shows you can handle college classes....

    Yllomia replied to seasons18's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Yllomia replied to Sabr&Shukr's topic in Massachusetts Nursing
