Johns Hopkins new grad 2011

U.S.A. Maryland

Published

Hello Maryland nurses :)

I'm from the Boston area, graduating with my ADN in May. I applied for the JHH clinical nurse residency program and I just got contacted for an interview! I don't know when it will be yet but I'm very excited. I'm not sure if DH and I will be able to relocate, but even the chance to interview with them is an amazing opportunity. Has anyone interviewed there and have any tips? Is anyone in the program currently? I requested the general medicine as my first choice, and critical care and surgery as my secondary choices. The job market is really tough up in the Boston area so I hope something pans out in Baltimore. Everything I've read says the Hopkins name really opens doors for you!

Wow, thanks for the insight. How do the nurse recruiters respond to those that call? Because I stopped by security one day and she told me there were scheduled interviews and I wouldnt have a chance to see her.

I've applied to Hopkins since I graduated in May and I really hope that I get a call for the peds position I applied to. Fingers crossed!

Sweetie85, how do you like it at hopkins? Is it everything you hoped?

Great did you get the job? if so was getting a maryland license through endorsement difficult? I want to be a part of JH desperately. any advice I am from Orlando. where r u from in florida?

Hi ucfRN,

I'm in my last semester at UCF GO Knights!.. I just left requested the endorsement package for MD did you have to do a refresher course as a new grad?

I am so glad to see these post. So my dreams are possible!!! sigh

Specializes in Oncology/Haemetology/HIV.
Congrats to those hired at Hopkins. I almost felt like if you didnt go to UMB or JH for nursing school, they won't consider you for their new grad hire. I have every intention from moving from FL to MD in the next month. I have my FL RN license and now have endorsed for MD. I wish the Nurse Recruiter would contact me already! Is it a good idea to contact the recruiter?

I have a community college degree from a Florida school, and have worked there for a while. But I also came in with experience and had worked there as a traveler.

I have seen UofM and JH grads turned down for Towson nurses. A great deal depends on your own initiative, personality and drive.

JHUH requires a certain type of nurse, in certain depts.

Yes! Go Knights! What are the odds.. maybe you're my junior buddy. haha

Well, I have been in contact with the recruiter and soon after, my application status changes are more positive. I will let you know how it turns out. I applied last month (August) and just got my license yesterday! :) So it only took 4 weeks (in my case). You should begin contacting the recruiter

My post was so jumbled. What I meant to say was I applied for RN Licensure endorsement in MD 4 weeks ago and now have the permanent license, although it needs to be renewed annually.

Ucfrn, did you apply for a peds position? I'm still waiting to see if I get an interview. My app was recently sent to the nurse manager.

Specializes in Surgical.
Can any one tell me what is the medicine floor at JHH? Is the medicine floor same as med-surg

Thanks in advance!

They are not the same. At JHH Bayview, Medicine is two units Med A and Med B. The PCU is more intense medicine primary all cardiac on the 4th floor along with Tele. The Surgical floor is on 6th. Bridgeview is a medicine unit created for short stay/obs pt. most like r/o MI and such. The Surgical floor will get overflow from all over the hospital but for the most part the medicine floors just get medicine patients and occasionally surgical.

Generally the surgeons like their pts. to be on one floor in one unit where they know the staff as surgical pts. have standard pathways where as medicine pts. are maintained by primary MD's and cared for during exacerbations of chronic conditions and they also like their pts. on one floor but the Nurse managers who assign beds have to put people where they can sometimes.

Bayview also has a specialty burn unit, ortho, neuro, SICU,NICU,NeuroICU, OB/GYN and psych/chem depend.

JHH has many many more departments and is a larger facility. Their departments are more specialzed rather than broad like at bayview.

hope that helps!

Well, I did apply to a Peds position. I was contacted by a recruiter from Hopkins and she wanted to interview but Im waiting to hear back.. Its weird because they filled the position and then they contacted me by email to follow for an interview.

how long ago did you apply for the peds position.... also the time between applying and JH contacting u.

I applied on 8/19 and I heard back 9/14 but I realize it's for OB/GYN (prenatal unit) and when I was emailed, I put Peds as my preference not OB/GYN.

Oops :(
