1. good agencies in MD?

   DeigoT replied to bissie's topic in Maryland

   I signed with up MSN but was cancelled numerous times (the same agency in NY rarely had cancellations). I learned that a part of the reason was my fault since I had only completed orientation packages for 2 hospitals. To avoid multiple cancellations,...

2. Are there many job opportunities in MD?

   DeigoT replied to RN 4 U's topic in Maryland

   I think if you google "Maryland hospitals", then go to the individual hospital's website, you will find that like in most places, there are a bunch of openings for nurses. You simply need to find one that fit with your needs and values then apply. ...

3. Union Hospital

   DeigoT replied to RaggedyRN's topic in Maryland

   I worked there recently, and was pulled after 4 hours. The first 4 hours was on the 3rd Medsurg which a poster suggested to avoid, and the second 4 hours was on 9th floor medsurg. In the short time there, I would agree with the poster, and plan to a...

4. Applied for MD license (endorsement) in April....no license yet?

   DeigoT replied to YogiBSN's topic in Maryland

   I agree with the other posts. I have been licensed in several states, but had to make numerous calls to MD BON to get my license. Another interesting thing, they renewed the license online, but after waiting two weeks and not getting a hard copy, ...

5. Moving to Baltimore--quiet/safe areas to live?

   DeigoT replied to Toby's mum's topic in Maryland

   Lived in White Marsh and loved it, but it is about a 30 min or so commute to downtown. Parts of Mt Vernon seems to be pretty nice too.

6. Educational Opportunities While Traveling

   DeigoT replied to IdahoNurse's topic in Travel

   I think alot depends on the facility. At my job, travelers may register for and take classes available to the staff, however they are not paid for the time spent in class. These classes include chemo certification, EKG interp, critical care course,...

   DeigoT replied to gregca5's topic in International

   Abetta care recently contacted me with positions in ST. Thomas (minimum 13 weeks). I am interested but the pay seems really low.

8. NP's in Minute, Express, or Retail Clinic Setting

   DeigoT replied to brownrice's topic in NP

   I have been an ANP (primary care) since 2001, but I am in transition, so I have not been working as an NP recently.

   DeigoT replied to brownrice's topic in NP

   OOPS! It was a Target, not Walmart.

10. NP's in Minute, Express, or Retail Clinic Setting

    DeigoT replied to brownrice's topic in NP

    Ok, so I had my first experience with minute clinic. What a concept! Well I felt a cold sore coming on and felt that a RX for Valtrex may help to stave it off. Called my primary and he was out for the holiday and the answering service didn't seem ...

11. Med school enrollment and NP's/PA's

    DeigoT replied to brownrice's topic in NP

    She felt it wasn't worth it. As a surgeon she wanted to build a "center of excellence." Well, she had no life. She would sometimes spend nights at work and rarely saw her children. She felt that work became her life. It was just too consuming. ...

12. Med school enrollment and NP's/PA's

    DeigoT replied to brownrice's topic in NP

    I think it is seen as a "large increase" more so because, as you mentioned, there had been a decrease in applications to med schools for many years, and most schools have kept their enrollment numbers the same. Over the years, many theories had been...

15. NP Education

    DeigoT replied to zenman's topic in NP

    I definately agree with the need for more clinical hours. If you are fortunate enough to have your first position in a practice where your colleagues are very sharing and supportive, then great. But if your first job out of NP school requires you t...
