   ladybugsea replied to AlwaysLearning247's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks for the info, xobritney! Glad to hear they are interesting. I already took stats previously and have a BA/MS so I should be going right into the nursing courses. Trying to figure out if two...

   Froggybelly - how was it taking two nursing courses in one term? Were they both similar in

6. Online RN to BSN - how to chose school?

   ladybugsea posted a topic in School, College Programs

   I am having a hard time deciding on an online RN to BSN program... I think I am over thinking this, does the school really even matter? So far I have narrowed it down to URI, SNHU, and UMass Boston....

7. What do you wear to work?

   ladybugsea replied to asp40's topic in School

   I am also a new school nurse. I subbed over the past school year and wore business casual with a lab coat on top (to be recognized as the sub nurse). Like you, I don't have a lot of work clothes and...

   ladybugsea posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   I have been thinking about sitting for the IBCLC exam this summer (I'm a LLL Leader and new RN, so all I need is the 45hrs lactation specific education). I need to decide ASAP because deadlines are...

9. So sad. :(

   ladybugsea replied to HappyPediRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

   You are not alone. I passed seven months ago today, and still nothing. I did find some LTC options back in Sept, but I was holding out for med-surg orientations in January. But it seems most...

10. Can RN work as CNA in MA?

    ladybugsea replied to ladybugsea's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Binkie - I don't want to work as a CNA! MA hospitals are pretty much only hiring internal candidates to their new grad programs. Many of these hospitals weren't even able to hire all their CNAs...

    ladybugsea replied to ladybugsea's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Thanks. I just don't see how I'm going to get a job in this market unless I'm already working for a hospital that will hire new grads again this winter. I have heard a rumor about one hospital in MA...

12. Can RN work as CNA in MA?

    ladybugsea posted a topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Is this allowed? I know I've seen threads on this topic in the past, but I'm not having luck using the search and google and checking the BORN. I thought I had read here that it was not allowed in...

13. Where to license??

    ladybugsea replied to ICURNGUY's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Wow, thanks, that's good to know. I was hoping to get something in Jan/Feb when preceptors are free again and some hospitals claim they 'may' run orientations again. But with so many new grads still...

14. Where to license??

    ladybugsea replied to ICURNGUY's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Austin - I agree with Octoberbride 100%. Unless you have an amazing connection, it would be a much better bet not to come to MA. Octoberbride - where did you learn about the 2-year job forecast?...

15. What if I don't go to work?

    ladybugsea replied to ladybugsea's topic in First Year After Licensure

    jbeau - that's funny, I just heard from a Children's nurse the other day that they are on a hiring freeze. Have you been able to get some
