hi everyone! i started about 3 months ago in an outpatient rn job. i came from inpatient medical. i was recently offered to interview at my dream job - labor and delivery. the hitch is that i am 7 weeks pregnant and the position is 36 hour nights! h...

oh and i think i'd be covered from FMLA since i've worked here for over 3 years and i work over 20 hours/week.

thanks so much ladies! i had read that there were some studies that said working night MAY put you at great risk for pre-term labor, something to do with the flipped circadian and all, so that freaked me out. when i worked in general medical, i rare...

Is anyone attending this program or considered it? I would like to know what the acceptance rates are. I've applied for this program (the only program i applied for), and am understandably worried that there's a possibility I won't get in (der):) I ...

I have to disagree with people who stated to go to Simmon's if you want to work why you go and not stress too much. I went to Simmons and most of the women who went did not work and everyone was super stressed out. It's very vigorous and it's a lot o...

I am coming up on my 1 year anniversary on a medical floor. I would like to job-shadow on different floors of interest in the hospital. It is for informational purposes for me so when I do look for my next job, I can make an informed decision. Do ...

This is exactly what I thought! Thanks!

I want to stay in my facility. I work at one of the best hospitals in the world.

Hi, yes I am doing it on my own time. I'm not hiding anything but I also don't want her to get nervous that I'm leaving soon. What if I shadow and all of these other floors do not compare and then I've created a situation where my nurse manager thin...

Get ready to work your ass off! The summer is not bad so try to enjoy it because the first semester is a ton of work. It's a great education and challenging. Good luck!

I have been off orientation for 2 months and have probably cried at least 10 times. Maybe 3-4 times at work in private and many times at home. What makes me cry is how overwhelming the job can be and also how the seasoned nurses have the tendency t...

Spend the $299 and buy the Kaplan Qbank . . . i used all 1000+ questions in 8 days and then took the nclex. it was JUST like the nclex . . . I also took a nclex review course that is a part of the tuition at the school i went to. that was helpful but...

Hi, I used the qbank only. it was just like the nclex even the way it looked. good luck all!

I did it! Took my last final! I have almost officially graduated from nursing school! woo!!!!!

Hi - when will you graduate? If you have another semester left after this one - get a PCA/CNA position! It will help you so much. If there is a hospital that you have or have had a clinical at that you are interested in being a CNA in, contact you...

Hi there - I am graduating in about 3 weeks from the accelerated BSN program at Simmons College (18 month Dix Scholar Program). I have a job lined up at MGH on a general medical floor starting in February. I started working as a PCA this past May ...

Graduate December 2007 at the age of 31!

I don't think that this is something nurses should accept and see as a normal aspect of being a nurse. I hope people wanting to enter nursing don't see this as a expectation that they are willing to put up with. We need not only excellent clinicians...

I got the job! I start in February at MGH on a general medical floor. I'm ecstatic and very relieved. Good luck everyone!

new2boston - where have you applied? have you considered applying a little outside of boston. people on this board have said that they couldn't find a job in boston proper initially but were able to get a job a little outside and then they applied a ...

Hi guys, I am in my last 8 months of an 18 month program and I seem to have lost my steam! I am doing fine and passing but I am having a hard time motivating myself to study and do my homework. It's getting done but with an amazing amount of procras...

I haven't officially graduated yet (December 2007), but I have applied to one job at a large teaching hospital here in Boston and I think I am going to be offered the job (they asked me to come in for a shadow day Friday which they told me at the in...

I am not going to say anything different than anyone else - stick with it!!! This is exactly how I felt except I didn't want to quit. My program is an accelerated BSN and my first semester was soooo hard! I was studying my ass off and getting Cs, I...

Hi, I am graduating from Simmons' 18 month Dix Scholar program in December. Like Oualie said, their clinical experiences are awesome! I was at MGH, the Brigham, Children's, The Barbara McGinnis House, Beacon Hospice and MassMental. I learned a to...

Maybe I'm not understanding the question but why would this matter? I go to an all-female college for undergraduate but they do allow males into their NP program. I have 4 men in my program and the rest are women and no one cares one bit. If the ed...
