I think BID is the better option. It would be great to be guaranteed a full time spot right off the bat, instead of being per diem. As a new grad, it is important to get a good amount of experience. With the BWH position, you may not get too many shi...

I feel like I wrote this! I thought I had landed my dream job on a surgical trauma floor a few months after graduating. I quickly realized that it wasn't for me and floor nursing was probably not my thing. I had a 9 week orientation and decided not t...

hello, I live in Boston so I'm close to you. I graduated in 2015 with my BSN and agree it is hard to find a job with no nursing experience.your PCA experience is great though. I applied to probably 200 job postings online because I was looking in and...

I feel like I wrote this myself! I was in a similar position as you last year. I worked on a surgical trauma unit in a level 1 trauma center from Sept 2015-Nov 2015. This was my first job as a new grad and I was completely in over my head. I had a g...

does anyone have any updates? I'm interested in this as well!! :)

"Your eyes are so dark, you look like the devil. Are you going to make me possessed??" ( I work in psych!)

hello! I graduated with my BSN last May and work at an inpatient psych hospital. All the units are locked and we have some very violent and aggressive patients at times. We have no security which is what makes our turnover rate very high. However, I ...

I got an email that there are free waffles on Wednesday IF we donate a book. We can also PAY $1 to wear jeans all week instead of just Fridays...yippee

hello! First, congrats on landing a nursing job! Second, I feel like I wrote this myself. I also graduated in May and started work on a trauma floor with ortho at a level 1 trauma center. I also woke up during the night with anxiety and was constantl...

first, congrats on graduating! I graduated this past May with my BSN from a school in Boston. My classmates also started applying around this time last year. Many hospitals do start posting their residency programs pretty early so I would keep your e...

Hi, I was trying to reply to your private message but I can't for some reason. At BI, the orientation starts when you get the position, not at certain times of the year. It is 12 weeks long and they told me the first 8 is with a preceptor, the last 4...

that's awesome!!! :)

congratulations!!! I'll be on CC6, how about you?!

I hope you like HURST! My class found it very helpful! You should be all set with your ATT (I think it was because so many people graduate in May and they got backed up). I hope you have a great semester :)

No way, I went to the Boston campus! Not many people have taken the NCLEX from my class since Pearson Vue is like 5 weeks behind on sending out ATTs. We took the HURST during our last semester and it was great. I'm assuming you will too since the dea...

good luck with your upcoming semester and NCLEX!! :) I graduated in May with just over 100 people and only about 10-15 have jobs so far!

That's what I interviewed for too. It's so hard to find a job around here for new nurses! I hope you get it, keep me posted :) !

thank you!! That's a good sign that they asked for your references :) did you interview for one of the entry level positions or have you worked as a nurse before? I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

hello! I know you have already had your interview by now. I actually graduated in May and had an interview at BI a few weeks ago. I found out Thursday I got the job. I hope your interview went well!! :)

i took mine today too and the waiting is awful! what state did you take yours in? best of luck to you both! :)

hey everyone, I am taking the NCLEX-RN on June 10 and I've been studying a lot but I was looking for some feedback about how specific the maternity questions are on the exam. I got an A in the class but I'm having a hard time with this section during...

thanks for the help! I just graduated at the beginning of May so I have no clue what to expect. None of my classmates have taken it yet so I'm trying to review everything. Did you take the HESI exit exam? I've heard it is supposed to predict how well...
