Anyone here work at NEMC in Boston? I am trying to get more information on it, but have had a very difficult time getting a nurse recruiter to return my phone calls. Any info would be greatly appreciated (opportunities for new grads, what the working...

marissa81579 - tell me about White 7, 8 and 9....why are they horrible? I need to know what I could potentially getting myself into! Thanks! :)

Wow! Thank you so much for the great information! I agree with you in that I can't imagine not putting in 100% to orientation. Good to know that they do indeed consider new graduates. I am going to try to find out more about MGH since I will be livin...

Bummer - I am out-of-state and wish I could be in Boston tomorrow for the job fair. It seems that finding a job is going to be much harder than anticipated. Do you have any information on MGH? Good luck to you and do you mind relaying any scoop you ...

I am graduating soon and really feel like I do not know the area of nursing in which I want to work. The thought of working med/surg scares me b/c I think that I will not be able to handle the fast pace and stress. I am not interested in critical car...

Thanks for the information. I am having a hard time finding what inpatient units Children's has. Can you point me in the right direction? Do you know if they ever hire new grads into the outpatient clinics? Thanks!

Murph01 - I'm moving to Boston after I graduate from my accelerated BSN program in December. I was just looking at Children's web site. Is it true that they have a gynecology unit? I'm interested in working in women's health and really enjoy working ...

Hi there, I am hoping some of you might be able to help me out. I will graduate with my BSN in December and will be moving to Boston at that time. I will be taking the NCLEX in January. I've looked through the packet of info from the Board of Nursing...

Thank you for the information. I'm contacting MGH and some others to hopefully set up some interviews.

Maybe I am interpreting your reply wrong, but are you saying that I may have trouble getting hired somewhere because I went to school in a different state?

What hospitals did you speak with? I'm graduating in December and will be taking the NCLEX in January...

I feel the SAME way! I want to enjoy my job, and I feel like if I have to work on a med surg unit I will dread going to work every day and my patients will suffer because of it. I, like you, am not interested in critical care, ICU, neuro, etc. Blows ...

I apologize for "interrupting", but I am wondering if you could tell me a little more about what you do as an RN at the public health department. I am interested in working in a non-hospital environment and am very much drawn to public health departm...

Hi there, I am wondering if you have a Master's degree? I would love to go into the education/non-bedside aspect of nursing - what opportunities are there for new grad BSNs?

I don't have any information for you, but I am wondering the same thing. I'll be a new grad in December and will be moving to Boston at that point. Hopefully someone will respond to these posts!

ours is 94-100 A, 87-93 B, 80-86 C, anything below that you fail. it has been very hard to adjust to this scale. it gets us working harder, but it is frustrating to get a 93 on an exam and have that be a 'B'.

that's wonderful! how do the residency programs work? do you get paid for those 22 weeks?

I was thinking about that, too. And how awful for the other patients and their families...to have to deal with all of the protesting every day. The whole situation is just too bad

I saw it, too! I could NOT believe it. ABC will be getting a letter from me. I am a student and we have been told from day one to never let ANYONE speak to us that way in the work environment. I am so disappointed...I was hoping that nurses would po...

I think this is a great idea! I will be graduating in late 2005 from an accelerated BSN program and am about 90% sure that I want to go into Women's/Maternity nursing. I have about a million questions! I know this has been asked before, but I will be...

Hi there! I'm just wondering why it is not your cup of tea? I am thinking about trying to get a job on a PP unit after I graduate and I'd like to know more about it...

I'm in an accelerated BSN program that started last May and has me finishing in December. It is VERY intense and you must have excellent time mgmt skills. It sounds like you would be fine. My program is very competitive - the majority of us are perfe...

Hi there, I am in an accelerated BSN program and will be graduating in December. I feel as if I am not getting much experience in my clinicals and can't believe that I will actually be out on a floor practicing in 10 months. It seems that my professo...
