Hi I'm new to this forum and I'm hoping I can get feedback. I am an SRNA graduating in 12/04. I am very interested in the DC area (including northern VA and MD) Looking for feedback on area hospitals. I've seen postings for Washington Hospital center, Inova, and Prince Georges Hopsital. Have I missed any other good ones? Simply looking for a great new grad experience. Any info on what they're like? Also am considering Baltimore.
Also have noticed the high cost of housing in the area:-)

I will be graduating from Georgetown in December, and decided to live and work in Baltimore.

In Baltimore, you have Jonhs Hopkins (actively recruiting 40 CRNAs is the rumor), University of Maryland and Shock Trauma (I am at shock trauma right now, pretty autonomous and good big trauma cases with huge fluid management issues), I have signed on to Sinai hospital, (well rounded case loads and no call, pluss their carrot is pretty enticing), additionally there are about four more hospitals actively seeking CRNAs.

good luck in your hunt.

Thanks nilepoc

Craig,
Thanks so much for your reply. I wanted to email you directly but your website doesn't give info on how to do that. I have so many questions that i'm not sure are appropriate for the forum. I have been very fortunate, that I have not had to share any clinical sites with residents. From your experience are you getting the experience that you need? If so do you see that occurring once you have graduated?? Are you going to be commuting from Silver Springs? Is that feasible???

Just curious why any facility would actively be recruiting 40 anesthetists. That's a huge number of holes to fill.
