  9. New to Rhode Island- Networking

    Joella I def. think you have a chance of landing a job here. Just make sure they know you are in this area long term. I think that scares employers most about seeing out of state applicants.
  10. Welcome NCLEX February 2011 Test Takers

    I changed my test date to Feb 1st because if I took it on Thursday I wouldn't get the quick results until Monday...and that would drive me absolutely CRAZZZZY

  19. new nurse moving from a nursing position after 6 months?

    I think they mean go to the regions tab at the top and search massachusetts and it has it's own board where local nurses can start threads etc.
  20. new nurse moving from a nursing position after 6 months?

    I live in Rhode Island and have been applying in Mass with no luck as a new grad....however, IMO I think if you can get hired directly out of school as a GN the 6 month experience will help you in this area.
