   Parenteral. People will say "parental." A parental injection! No, don't think so!

2. Young new grad relocating to Baltimore

   LaurieEllen1973 replied to all517's topic in Maryland

   If I was in your shoes, I would say Fells Point all the way. You can find a more diverse, edgy, vibrant neighborhood. To me, the suburbs equate to long commute, parking issue at work, lack of neighborhood feel, inability to walk anywhere. In Fells...

3. New CNA moving to Baltimore from Minnesota

   LaurieEllen1973 replied to secquoria's topic in Maryland

   Since you are still in school, why not decide on your school first. There are so many hospitals here, and almost all accessible by public transport (at the very least bus). But there are less schools, especially if you are doing BSN. If you decide...

4. Help! Moving to Baltimore - Any suggestions on where to live?

   LaurieEllen1973 replied to jclemieu's topic in Maryland

   Not sure if you've found something yet, but Baltimore has lots of walkable neighborhoods surrounding the harbor. You should look into Fells Point, Canton, and Federal Hill for starters. Locust Point is beside Fort McHenry, and is also good, tho not...

   It sounds like you answered your own question. Congrats on finding exactly what you want!

6. Paramedic vs Nurse! Decisions!

   LaurieEllen1973 replied to ConureDelSol's topic in Career Support

   You know what, Dial911? You have given a lot of yourself to this world. It is hard to hear you beat yourself up. Obviously you found your niche. Stick to it.

7. Should I call? Or inappropriate?

   LaurieEllen1973 replied to smkiya's topic in General Nursing

   You can't go wrong mailing a cover letter and resume, but directly calling is a gamble, and could go either way. Write a real good letter and emphasize your strong points that suit you to that exact position. It's a great chance to include all the ...

   Congrats Jess! I was really sweatin' for you. Dang, you had to wait a long time. You really need to celebrate extra. I'm sure that was torture. And I will see you at CPR!

    American Red Cross of Central Maryland Rachel: Above is the link to the Red Cross. I hope it works. Click on Class Info, and follow the links to the class schedules for "CPR for the Professional Rescuer". It would be great if you took the class ...

    I went to LabCorp on York Road for the drug test. They didn't charge me a dime. They didn't ask for my insurance card either. I have no idea why that is. I used the LabCorp form that was enclosed in our mailing. All they wanted was my driver's l...

    CPR: In case it would help anyone, I found a CPR course at the Red Cross in Baltimore that IS acceptable to the nursing dept. I know because I just called to check. It is 8 hours long - you can do it in one day, and it is called "CPR/AED for the P...

    I too am very curious about the spring schedule. Plus I want to know if we still get Spring break. I guess we will learn a lot on the 15th. I signed up for the dosage class, but the background check website was down. I'm trying again today. It w...
