1. George Washington Hospital New Grads...?

   1john4:10 replied to futurern123's topic in Washington DC

   I had a telephone interview and it was not hard at all. It was a lady from HR and she asked me what my strengths and weaknesses were. Because I was applying for a medicine floor, she also asked me what I learned/did in my med/surg clinical. That's al...

2. tuition benefits at diff hospitals....

   1john4:10 replied to adio412's topic in Washington DC

   I looked it up and if it's at GWU, then you need to be there 6 months, but if you take classes from another school they say your first day of hire. I found out for non-GWU classes its 3000$ per year, and GWU its 90%. You have to give them one year af...

   Suburban Hospital in Bethesda Montgomery General in northern Silver Spring Providence Hospital in DC Howard University Hosp in DC I've heard good things about the first two (Suburban is working towards Magnet status), but mixed reviews about the last...

4. tuition benefits at diff hospitals....

   1john4:10 replied to adio412's topic in Washington DC

   GWU Hospital will cover something like 90% if you go to GWU's nursing school for a graduate degree, and a lesser amount (50-75%?) if you go to a different school. Calling their HR would be your best bet.

6. Easy to land a Pediatric travel position?

   1john4:10 posted a topic in Travel

   I am currently working on an adult general medicine floor. This is my first job, but I would love to be a travel nurse, and specifically work on a pediatric floor/hospital. Do hospitals ever accept travelers to pediatrics if they only have adult expe...

7. Childrens Memorial Hospital

   1john4:10 posted a topic in Illinois

   I'm not from Illinois, but I am interested in Childrens Memorial Hospital. How hard is it to get a job there (if you have experience)? I have only adult experience. I'd also be interested in hearing anything else about the hospital.

8. Relocating in Summer 2010

   1john4:10 replied to Nurse Zee's topic in Washington DC

   I work at George Washington University Hospital. I work on a general medicine unit, and the ratio is 6:1. However, if we don't have a tech, its 4:1 or 5:1. I have not been happy with my unit...The ratio and the frequently absent techs being some of t...

9. Best Pediatric Hospital in Texas?

   1john4:10 posted a topic in Texas

   I'm from maryland, and am a new nurse working in Washington DC on a general medicine floor. However my dream job is a pediatrics unit/hospital, and I keep hearing great things about Texas. What are some of the top Pediatric Hospitals (or hospitals wi...

10. Washington Hospital Center's Med/Surg Units - are they good?

    1john4:10 replied to 1john4:10's topic in Washington DC

    Hello, No I actually didn't take it. I received an offer from GWUH, and decided not to take WHC because I think I'm allergic to something on that floor...It was really weird, the two times I spent a few hours on 2D, I had this coughing fit, lol. So ...

    1john4:10 replied to RNPATL's topic in Med-Surg

    I just graduated from school and am about to start in august on a medical floor for the first time- I'm so scared! My first choice was pediatrics, but I'm beginning to look forward to it.

12. Honest opinion about kaplan

    1john4:10 replied to aliciarae's topic in New Nurse

    I took Kaplan and passed my first time (!). However I think that for me, the classroom portion was a waste of time (my readiness score was the same as diagnostic), but the qbank and question trainers were what really helped. If I had known, I would h...

13. Just preparing for the NCLEX is killin me!!

    1john4:10 replied to champ01's topic in New Nurse

    I feel your frustration! I was in the same boat. My content knowledge was weak so instead of using kaplan's text book to study I used Saunders which is so much more clear and detailed. Then I used about 90% of the kaplan qbank questions, and the most...

14. what degree path to take: Associates or Bachelors

    1john4:10 replied to md714's topic in Pre-Nursing

    If you have a choice definitely go for your Bachelor's. It will save you the trouble of going back to school to get it after you've been working. People say that getting your ADN will be faster but it isn't always the case. I took two years to get my...

15. DID HORRIBLE IN A CLASS - should I say goodbye to my dreams?

    1john4:10 replied to curiousstudent5's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Definitely don't give up. Before I applied to my school, my gpa was average and not as high as most of the people accepted. If schools see you're a well rounded person or gifted in other areas that will count.
