2. Why are Nurses in MD not organized labor wise?

   kanling replied to Agrippa's topic in Maryland

   Maybe I'm stupid, but it seems to me that if I don't like my salary or work environment... then I quit and go somewhere else. Adding union employee salaries and the new salaries for the extra employer management that is then needed doesn't magicall...

   kanling replied to BSW2BSN's topic in Maryland

   GBMC hospital recently started only hiring nurses with BSN degrees.

4. Should I Carry Nursing Malpractice (Liability) Insurance?

   kanling replied to sirI's topic in Career Support

   Here are the coverage details for the three companies when I was looking for insurance for Maryland recently. The link in Caffein's post above has explanations for some of the terminology. NSO/HPSO (CNA) Type of coverage: Occurrence1 mil/6 mil: $1081...

5. Should I Carry Nursing Malpractice (Liability) Insurance?

   kanling replied to sirI's topic in Career Support

   Most nurses seem to use NSO without much thought. I couldn't stand to not know what the other options are, so I did some research. I found that there are really only three widely-available companies that sell liability insurance for nurses. The fir...

6. Young new grad relocating to Baltimore

   kanling replied to all517's topic in Maryland

   Those downtown neighborhoods will be expensive. You can hunt online to find out how much. You might consider an apartment in Owings Mills or Pikesville for a year until you get familiar with the city. Baltimore's only subway line goes out there dir...

7. Board of Nursing selling your data!

   kanling posted a topic in Maryland

   I have been wondering for years how I get junk mail from people who know that I'm a nurse. And how it kept following me even when I moved. The only thing that made sense was that the mailers were getting the data directly from the MBON. But I coul...

   kanling replied to geclipse81's topic in Maryland

   Sounds like a few trips might be in order to get familiar with the area. Where will your fiancee be working?

9. DE resident working in MD and taxes

   kanling replied to MelodyRNurse's topic in Maryland

   First the bad news: Maryland and Delaware don't have any kind of agreement on taxes. If you are a resident of Delaware and work in Maryland, you will have to do a tax return for both states. You will have to do a Maryland return for your income in M...

10. MD hospital near PA & DE borders?

    kanling replied to Bunker's topic in Maryland

    Sweet indeed. I'm surprised O'Malley hasn't started ending the tax reciprocity agreement with those states. But you have a slight mistake. Delaware is not on the list. Virginia is. And Delaware is a big exception. If you live in Delaware and wor...

11. Are hospitals outside of Wilmington competitive?

    kanling replied to kanling's topic in Delaware

    That's what I expected, unfortunately. I don't know anything about PRMC. I guess I'll look into it. I assume it is also small and maybe not quite the place to gain experience. Vania, no I didn't go to Towson. I used to live in Montgomery county b...

12. Advice: Want to buy a condo!

    kanling replied to LadyQT's topic in Maryland

    I work near Hunt Valley and a coworker once told me that High View was a ripoff. Something about low-quality construction and unhappy residents. I don't recall the details. You always have to be very careful when buying a condo... especially in th...

13. Are hospitals outside of Wilmington competitive?

    kanling posted a topic in Delaware

    I now have about two years experience at a good Baltimore area hospital (GBMC). I'm thinking about moving to Delaware, but I want to continue at a larger sophisticated hospital for a few more years to build up my experience. I know Christiana hosp...

14. baltimore..what's it like

    kanling replied to kingedward's topic in Maryland

    What makes you pick Mercy in Baltimore? Are you somehow limited to this area or could you go anywhere? I realize you are in Australia. I don't know where you live there, but my guess would be that living in downtown Baltimore would be a mistake fo...

15. Baltimore safety

    kanling replied to 2008el's topic in Maryland

    Baltimore gets crazier. Last week there was yet another beating on a bus and I just heard on the radio that there was a stabbing on a bus a day or two ago. So I guess the rule is to stay off the bus if you live or work in Baltimore. If Hopkins wer...
