Although I live in New York, I commute just 30 miles to work in one of the smallest hospitals in Massachusetts as an ICU/CCU nurse. It's small. . . it's really, really, really small! Why just the other day there were four patients in the entire hospital!
And there was one day when there was only one patient!
I love working here. Don't know how long the hospital will be able to keep its doors opens. But will stay there until I get the "pink slip".
I also love Massachusetts! (Well, and New York, too!) I lived in Boston for 5 wonderful years where I attended Berklee College of Music. . . . oh so long ago. . . . over 20 years ago . . . . But it was a wonderful time for me. I love your mountains and your ocean seashores, and, of course, your people! :)
Just want to say a warm hello to you all from one nurse who works in Massachusetts to another. :)
I live in western Massachusetts. I am working as an LPN(8 years) and starting the RN program on September 5th. I just started working for an agency a few months ago for the scheduling flexibility. Anyone else in western mass?

What part of Western MA are you guys from? I am working my way to the RN program. I won't be able to begin this September though, have to wait until next September.

Hey All,
Not from western mass but still glad to be here. I live on the south shore and start the LPN program at Quincy College in Sept. I can't wait. I'll be bridging to RN when the LPN is done.

Nice to finally hear of someone who works on the Cape!! I spent much of my childhood summers there, and love it so much. I am just starting my clinicals this fall, and will graduate in two years. At that time, i am really hoping to move to the Cape. I really wanted to work in a NICU, but i realize they dont have one on the cape. How does that work? Where do you work, and do you like it? Any info or thoughts or suggestions you have would be most welcome. Thanks!!
