That kind of makes sense, if IN is quick at getting you your ATT. If that's the case, I vote for taking NCLEX as soon as you can before you start forgetting stuff. However, I don't think you can apply...
I just moved to CA from UT this summer. I went to the U for nursing school, and CA gave me no grief about any of my classes. (I was nervous about a couple of the requirements as well.) It took a...

I think you're right about the resume -- it's repetative, and doesn't show who "you" are in a way that would make me want to interview you. I'm a big believer in personalizing resumes to the job...
I don't know about Boston specifically, but in general it can sometimes take months to hear back from HR about jobs. This year I applied for jobs out-of-state due to moving for my husband's schooling....
