Evylin,
I have a question. I live 3 minutes from AAMC and when I graduate it is the logical choice, so it is really nice to hear positive things about them.

My question is in regard to your sign on bonus and loan repayment. Did you need to committ to working there for any period of time in orde to receive the loan repayment? I wasn't sure if that was usually part of the deal, and if so what that time period was.

Thanks!

GO FOR IT! I wished I lived three minutes away. I would have stayed 100%. I love it there in the ICU. The intensivists in the ICU are all very wonderful and caring individuals. We did self scheduling. And if you scheduled a day that you needed off for some reason, there was always someone willing to switch days with you so you did not have to call out. I did get a sign on bonus which committed me to one year, which goes by really fast. I never took out a loan. They did pay up to $3500 of my last year of school, which still made me committ to a year and if you end up leaving before then you just have to pay it back. I stayed there a little over three years on 3rd floor in ICU, then I moved and a year of commuting 1.5 hours one way (3hrs/day) after a 12 hour shift was not any fun, so I gave my two weeks due to that and no other reason. I even received a scholarship from there that had no committment and it helped pay (I want to say $1000 toward my BSN. I know if you work in ICU you will love it there, but as far as the other units, I really cannot speak for them. The hospital is very clean, majority of personnel are very friendly. Teamwork is a huge part in the ICU. I will always recommend this hospital. It is also a great place to see some interesting cases, that you would not see in a small hospital. If you work there let me know what unit and how you like it.

Good Luck!
Evelyn

Hello! Glad to see a post on AAMC. We will be moving from Louisiana to Odenton the end of June. I was told that AAMC would be my best bet due to traffic. Any other suggestions?? Thanks!
