   My quick results showed as unavailable when my license was already up on DC BON. The whole thing is crazy.

   You have a license number before you have a license. Doesn't mean anything, sorry!

3. Better Women's Health RN 1 job- Inova Fairfax or Sibley?

   lgl525 replied to bkop's topic in Virginia

   Depends upon your birth philosophy to some degree, too. Fairfax is huge, and will be bigger with the new hospital. Known as the "baby factory" -- which is a good thing to some and not to others. :)

4. Anyone entered PICU nursing already a parent?

   lgl525 replied to lgl525's topic in PICU

   Thank you again. I agree, I won't know until I try, and I do think I will always wonder if I don't take the position. I guess I'm nervous because the other program that I'm passing up is (also) a pretty incredible academic opportunity. Very likely a ...

   lgl525 replied to lgl525's topic in PICU

   Thank you, so much. I think you're right -- those kiddos close to my daughters' ages will be difficult. But I'll get through it and get to go home and feel extra fortunate as I give mine an extra hug. Thanks again. Appreciate the thoughts and insigh...

   lgl525 replied to lgl525's topic in PICU

   Right, sorry, that's what I meant as pros and cons as well. Its very hard to tell from one tour and a few hrs shadowing how I'd feel every day. My heart loved it -- I'm just nervous. I suppose ability to switch is another question. Is there going bac...

8. Anyone entered PICU nursing already a parent?

   lgl525 replied to lgl525's topic in PICU

   Yes, I have. Already listed pros and cons. I know what my heart says -- that isn't the question. :) My main question was what I can not answer for myself -- if there is a higher rate of emotional devastation amongst nurses who enter as parents or if ...

9. Anyone entered PICU nursing already a parent?

   lgl525 posted a topic in PICU

   I'm deciding between a PICU and mixed adult ICU position. I feel like my heart is in the PICU -- a really incredible environment, the smartest and kindest care providers I have met. I loved it. I'm worried about not being able to handle it entering a...

10. Admission Decision Help: GMU, GWU, & MU.

    lgl525 replied to V_for_Vixen's topic in Virginia

    I just graduated from MU. I essentially attended due to location, as the previous poster mentioned. I was happy with the experience. If you stay in this area, the MU name is well known and has a great reputation. Most of my cohort have done very very...

12. Georgetown Residency - February 2016

    lgl525 replied to faith2014's topic in Washington DC

    No luck here. I have a great GPA too, thought I had a good chance at an interview. Maybe I bombed their test. Sad.

    That seems strange -- I see an Oct start date application still open, why would they close the Feb/March/April? I guess I'll call them. Thanks :)
