1. Washington Hospital Center RN residency - need letter of rec at interview?

   opensails replied to natchan23's topic in Washington DC

   Hey guys! Congrats on getting those offers! Anyone else know if we need specific scrub colors? I know some hospitals require specific colors so I don't want to go dropping money on some scrubs only to get something I might need to return later. Thank...

2. July Washington Hospital Center RN Residency

   opensails replied to GuatericanNurse's topic in Washington DC

   Thanks for the advice and quick reply, CharmedJ7! I didn't know about the parking being only $25/month. That's actually really good for being in a city but I guess it comes at the price of traffic. Sorry to ask you another question, but did you find ...

3. WHC, Veteran Affairs, or Children's employees - How is your commute?

   opensails posted a topic in Washington DC

   Does anyone work at WHC and commute from North Virginia (more specifically, Alexandria or Arlington)? I'm trying to look for a place in NoVA but I'm just afraid the commute might be unbearable. If anyone does commute, how long does it typically take ...

   How are utilities in the District? Also, how is your commute? Do you drive to WHC or use the metro? In terms of being inside DC, I've been looking for places in Dupont Circle and the Waterfront south of the National Mall. Otherwise I'm looking in Ale...

   .Can anyone in Oklahoma confirm this video's claims? I know the video is a few months old now but at any point was this ever true? If it was and still is, thats great. If it wasn't true, perhaps someone needs to update the media. The reason I ask is ...

   Excellent point and i feel the same way. I've looked into other fields and it always fun to cone up with ideas of where else I can apply this degree. I certainly have not had trouble finding insurance companies actively recruiting me to sell insuranc...

7. New RN Pay in Philadelphia, PA

   opensails replied to Alias8960's topic in New Nurse

   No, i dont believe so. Last i heard it was ~$28 for a new grad there. But with experience, I believe Penn is the highest paying in the area so it would be nice to start and stay there. Jefferson is paying 27 and some cents for newbies.

8. Life as a New Grad Sucks

   opensails replied to lifeasanewgrad's topic in New Nurse

   Agreed with the "apps, pray, move forward". Its the only way. You wouldn't happen to be in Texas would you? That's the only state that I've heard it being easier to find a job. Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to pick up and move there.

    opensails replied to ohyeah's topic in New Nurse

    Is the Air Force Nursing Corp strictly stateside or is there a chance you will be shipped to the Middle East or wherever our next war is? Also, the commitment is only 3 years? I'd expect it to be longer than that. Maybe they have you on reserve for a...

    opensails replied to coleVT10's topic in General Students

    there is a book ive seen that is specifically for medical spanish, focusing on keywords. even if you cant say a whole sentence grammatically correct, you would have the right vocab to step in the right direction.
