Med Surg RN BSN, RN

Thank you @Serhilda for sharing honestly. Definitely gives me pause to reconsider moving to Boston. @OncologyCat, thank you for sharing your personal experiences as an Asian in Boston. That's true discrimination can happen anywhere, but it can also...

@Serhilda thanks for the breakdown! I am shocked by the pay for Boston RNs. I am originally from NYC and the starting rate is $38-44/hr depending on location and shift etc. I am looking at NP jobs in Boston and the starting hourly rate is $38-45! Th...

Also wanted to add that some PP's have jobs posted on LinkedIn by their HR team. This is really great bc you can follow up with the HR contact person directly thru LinkedIn.

Hi @Emineminem, like you I was not getting any responses initially. I am a new grad FNP with only m/s RN experience prior. I agree with DTWriter in getting your NP license first for CA. These are some of the steps I took: *Check out postings for al...

Hi @Stephgriffin6, thanks so much for your reply! They were able to confirm that I would orient based on my current work schedule so everything worked out. There are some delays with insurance approval and BON so I am still waiting to start. I am ver...

Hi Stephanie!!! So sorry for the delay. Thanks so much for your advice. I wanted to let you know that I was offered a part time position with them. I am so excited to get started. The location is still an hour away but at least we have a set schedule...

Hi Stephanie, thanks so much for your reply and sorry for the delay! I have been offered the floater position and am very excited about the opportunity. I will be floating to 9 clinics in the area with a schedule set 2-4 weeks in advance, and mileage...

Hi Stephanie! Thanks so much for your response!!! Always greatly appreciated ? That is so wonderful to hear that the patient load is doable. I am glad it is not as intense as primary care where 20-25 complex patients/ day can be very stressful. I am ...

Hi Stephgriffin6! I wanted to follow up and let you know that I am applying for a floater position. You mentioned that you had to float in the beginning. How did you find it? This job requires experience for the floater position, but will accept a ne...

I am also a new grad and wish you the best of luck! I have been applying and have not heard back either. I went to a career fair and one recruiter contacted me back, out of dozens. That is the only job lead I have so far. We moved out here for husban...

Thanks so much!!! I appreciate your help ?

Thanks so much for your guidance! I will fax over my info first thing Monday morning to get things rolling! Hopefully that will get me an interview (fingers crossed) ?

Thanks so much for your reply!!! That's wonderful you heard back from HR so quickly. I still have not heard back but I will give it a week or two before emailing a follow up. On your resume, did you list CRNP or APRN as your credentials? I know they ...

Hi Stephgriffin6, I just saw in your previous post that you were referred and HR contacted you the next day! I don't have any Planned Parenthood contacts and was wondering if anyone had any input as to how long in general it takes to hear back from H...

Hi Stephgriffin6, thanks for the update and that is so wonderful to hear! I finally got my license and applied to my local PP. I applied to 2 part-time positions. How long did it take for you to hear back from HR? I just emailed the generic HR contac...

Please update us on your situation! Did you wind up staying with her or finding another preceptor?

Stephgriffin6, thanks for your response and for the info! I would have to agree that my state, PA, is also slow in processing licenses so I can see why it might be better to wait. We also have a lot of NP schools in this area so I am guessing many s...

Stephgriffin6, thanks so much for the info! I really appreciate your advice and I think a part-time job is the best option for me right now. I don't know anyone at Planned Parenthood but its an organization I've wanted to work with for a while and I ...

Stephgriffin6, thank you for the info, it is appreciated! And congrats on the job! Did you find it difficult to get interviews for NP positions after being at bedside for 2 years after certification? I am contemplating taking some time off but am con...

I plan to apply to an opening for a PT, Sat position at my local Planned Parenthood, as I am a SAHM during the week. Do you know if the same 12 week orientation process still applies? The position would be 5 hours/ week. I would extend to FT once bab...

I would definitely report to clinical instructor and escalate as needed. Do not forget that your tuition is PAYING the facility to host your clinicals there. So yes you do have some say in this. You are PAYING to be there and you do not deserve to be...

I plan on applying and have wanted to apply ever since I found out about it a few years ago. Has anyone been a part of this program? I am interested to hear about your experiences and the application process. Thank you!

I have heard stories of nurse bullies sabotaging fellow coworkers/ employees to get them fired/ blacklisted. I agree transferring to another unit is the best approach (so you don't lose your benefits/ retirement). The other thing you could is try to ...

Not sure where you are, but MediSys is currently looking for nurses to do HEDISYS in Pennsylvania, about 45 mins from Philadelphia. I believe they will train for free. HEDIS/MRR POSITIONS KING OF PRUSSIA | Medisys Solutions, LLC If interest...

My aBSN was a bit more than that and the only reason why I went through with the private program, is because I could not get into the local city and state programs due to the high saturation of applicants in New York City. Also with some of the local...
