Labor and delivery is a very physical and stressful job. It may be a bit hard to learn the role and care for patients while entering your third trimester. Is there a postpartum unit you could work on first, then transfer to labor after your baby is b...

Congrats on both job offers.. I would take the CDU position. It will take you further in your career and set you up for more success with other jobs in the future.. You can always switch to NICU once you gain more experience.. Good luck!

To start off the shift, review labs on your patients, look at the MAR, look at last MD note. Get your brain sheet organized, know who your PCT will be for the day. Make a game plan with them. Try and stay on top of things from the beginning of your s...

Since you have psych experience, I would continue with the PMHNP option. After graduating, you could possibly find a remote psych NP job and try and work from home while you care for your new baby. It may not be exactly what you want, but its a start...

I would take the ICU job as a new grad. you will learn so much and that experience can take you anywhere. It will be easier in the future to move from an inpatient position to an outpatient onc clinic rather than vice versa. Onc is good experience to...

You are welcome. I don't think you will have to pay the fee twice, but I would maybe email them and ask them. My birthday is in October as well and if I remember correctly I think I only paid the fee once when I got my nursing license in July 2014. N...

hello, I think with your years experience as an ICU nurse, and if you have your BSN, then you should have no problem finding a job in Boston or the surrounding towns. The pay in Boston hospitals is good, whether you choose a union facility or n...

I actually left the office position because it was very boring. It was different than working in a clinic it was more sitting in front of a computer and taking messages off of Epic and responding back to them which was not what I thought I would be d...

Absolutely agree with this..

I agree...

Think about driving in bad weather for more than 2 hours when you have to work.. you may need to stay over at work and how would that pan out around your family life with your children? I would take the med surg job closer to home, then after 1 year ...

Thank you for the info..

I would love to be a death examiner! I have no idea where to begin for that type of nursing though..

Hey great! Now u will have good experience doing two diff types of nursing jobs. Glad it all worked out for u! Congrats!

I actually prefer to still wear the masks so we don't have to smell each others breath! Is that weird????‍♀️

I just left a job working three 12-hour shifts and I now work 40 hours a week Monday through Friday in a primary care clinic. I'm struggling with the hours... If you already know you like to travel with your husband then I would take the Urgent...

I just left my ED psych position, 3 12s, for a Family clinic position M-F. I am looking forward to the change, but a bit leary about working 5 days per week. I hope I can manage it. The positive thing is I am leaving the crazy world of psych in the E...

I've been a nurse for 7 years and I change jobs about every 2 years.. this is due to not being happy with what I do and feeling bored. Along with also having *** management and unsafe work areas. I just want to work with women and children, PP nursin...

If we had Match day similar to what new doctors have, what would be your top 3 places to match at and in what specialty? Mine are: MGH-OBGYN John Hopkins-Surgical Specialties Children's Hospital Boston-PICU

I am in the same situation as you. I am wanting to leave the hospital, 3 12s a week for a mon to fri 8 to 5 family practice position. I am leaning towards taking it..but I am nervous. The drive is longer than my job now, but it'll be more money...

Thank you! Yes its bad, but the money is good.. But I realize money is not going to make me stick it out. I would rather be happy.. thats my most important trait about a job.

I work with both adults and children in the ED as a psych nurse. I prefer working with kids more, I guess I have more compassion for them. It is tough hearing their stories sometimes, but I do not take it home with me. I can somehow shut off my work ...

this is me right now. it is awful. But I do have two interviews this week so I hope one of them works out! After starting my current job, about week 3 I knew it was bad and not worth staying in.. I am now on month 4 there.

Hi I have heard of CHA, I was looking at their job openings yhe other day. They have an adult unit an Adolescent unit and a child unit. They also have units at their Cambridge hospital site and also at their Somerville Center which I heard is opening...

Thank you for the information. I appreciate it.
