  1. Hi All, I'm starting a 4 month travel assignment in March 2015 at Brighman and Women's (Boston). I've heard that they were hiring on a good number of nurses for this assignment, so I was just wondering if anyone out there is starting with me. Also wo...
  2. Brigham and Women's Travel Assignment (NICU)

    This is such great information. Thank you for taking the time to respond! I didn't know that the green line was so painfully slow, and I hadn't really thought about taking the bus before. I looked up the 39 bus and it really is a straight shot from J...
  3. Brigham and Women's Travel Assignment (NICU)

    Can I ask where you commuted from? And how long it took you? That's awesome-- I like busy! (as long as it's well-staffed..) Unfortunately if I pick up any extra shifts, above my 3/week, I'll only make $20/hour, so it probably won't be worth it for me...
  4. Brigham and Women's Travel Assignment (NICU)

    Thanks so much for the comments. After considering everything I'm really rethinking the East Boston situation. People are saying bad things about the traffic, and I called the BWH parking office (they say you have to park off-site and then take a shu...
  5. Brigham and Women's Travel Assignment (NICU)

    Thank you for your response and the ideas! I'm really excited to start at Brigham. It also seems like they're very "traveler friendly" since they hire travelers all the time. A nurse I work with used to work in the NICU there, and absolutely loved it...
  6. Nurse Family Partnership job

    Thank you so much for all the guidance... it was really helpful for giving me a real feel for the job. Had the interview today and I definitely felt like it went well. Then again, they were just really nice people, so maybe everyone leaves that offic...
  7. Nurse Family Partnership job

    Thanks for this thoughtful response! It sounds like you really love your job and are completely devoted to your clients. It's so nice to hear how supportive NFP is of their employees, and how willing the supervisors are to guide you. I know from expe...
  8. Nurse Family Partnership job

    Hi everyone, I have an interview for NFP in New Jersey in 2 days, and was hoping for some insight. My experience: I'm pretty new to nursing, but have about 3 months of experience in Pediatric home care (private duty)-- where one of the patients I ...
  9. Salary for home healthcare nursing

    Hey, I was just wondering what you decided to do about PSA? Did you end up bargaining/ taking the position, or did you decide it was just too little? I just got an email back from PSA (5 weeks after interviewing with them), inviting me to their 4-hou...
  10. Hi everyone.. I'm a new nursing school grad, and I have an interview in a couple days for a pediatric oncology position. It's at a hospital where I did many of my clinicals, including pediatrics, and think it would be a great place to start my nursin...
  11. Interview questions for peds oncology position?

    Hi werkinit, i looked back at my emails from allnurses notifying me about replies to this post. i didn't see anything from Professor-anything... are you thinking of shanthern, or blackshinycar? i think they are the only other 2 who replied, besides t...
  12. Interview questions for peds oncology position?

    You are wonderful... thank you. I'm going to research tunneled lines vs. ports and familiarize myself better with tumor lysis syndrome so I understand the big issues. This is so helpful!
  13. Interview questions for peds oncology position?

    Thank you Jan, this is really helpful. I think this fits into the whole model of the nurse as the case manager of the patient-- coordinating not just this childs meds but also education, etc. As you seem to know peds oncology well, are there any ques...
  14. New Grads at RWJUH

    Thanks for the help =)
  15. New Grads at RWJUH

    Hi, I know this was a few years ago, but would anyone be able to tell me if Anastasia Jacobs is still the nurse recruiter of RWJUH? I'm trying to find out how to address the cover letter, and want to be sure before I send it. Thanks!
  16. I got a job!!!! BOO-YOW!

    This is an amazing list! There's nothing wrong with extreme stalking hehe. I admire your bravery!
  17. I know a lot of new grad orientation programs are very thorough, lasting like 3 months and sometimes holding your hand through it. But what about the orientation if you're transferring from your first year of med/surg, for instance? I'm asking becau...
  18. New Grad Orientations vs. Regular Orientations?

    This is all great advice, thank you! From what everyone is saying it seems like I really should aim for what I want, rather than do it in a round-about way. This new-grad orientation will come literally once in a lifetime, and I'd rather get it where...
  19. Please Help-Ramapo or William Paterson?

    I had a 3.74 and go to WPU. I think I had a 3.72 the semester I applied though. They're actually not holding their accelerated track this coming May, but I think they'll start it up again the next year.
  20. Please Help-Ramapo or William Paterson?

    I actually got into WPU off the waitlist, and have paid my deposit already =) starting in less than a month!!! thanks for all the info :redbeathe
  21. Concordia College (NY) ABSN Fall 2010

    This is a great website, if you're starting off from scratch: www.aacn.nche.edu/Education/pdf/APLIST.PDF It's a list of all the accelerated bachelor's nursing programs in the country in 2009. It's possible that it's missing a few, but it's a good pla...
  22. Concordia College (NY) ABSN Fall 2010

    The interview was very laid-back for me too. I happened to be in town that weekend from Massachusetts, so I did it in person.. again, she told me more than I told her. She even specified the beginning of the interview that this is nothing that I need...
  23. Concordia College (NY) ABSN Fall 2010

    I just emailed Rob from Concordia to see if he could give me any info on the demographics. I'll let you know what he answers. Where else are you waiting to hear from?
  24. Concordia College (NY) ABSN Fall 2010

    I just found out that I'm accepted to Concordia's 15-month program starting this fall. I saw the school two times and it's really beautiful... it has a quaint, intimate feeling that you don't really get from a city school, and the people seem really ...
  25. Please Help-Ramapo or William Paterson?

    Hi bdogan, I also applied to William Paterson's accelerated program, and I'm waiting to hear back from them. Did you end up going to WPU? I'm wondering what you thought about it-- the atmosphere, the professors, fellow students, etc.. and where you l...
