Has anyone worked on a pediatric floor/floors at UMMS (not counting the nicu)? I'm thinking about applying there soon (I have 1 year experience in adult medicine). Thanks!

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...

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,...

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...

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...

Thanks everyone, I think I'm gonna try in about a year or so.

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...

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...

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...

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...

Where are scrub stores in the DC/MD area? (I've already been to Lynn's/Uniform City and Fentons).

Does anyone know of scrub stores in the DC or MD? I've been to Lynn's and Fentons, but they don't have a lot of choice for what I need (my hospital requires a white top and blue pants).

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...

I just graduated from UMB. Adult Health was a killer class for me. I thought Patho-pharm was hard but this was even harder. I took it at the Shady Grove campus, but I think the tests are the same....

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

Hi, I took all of my pre-reqs at a community college, and I had no problem transferring them to a nearby university. But definitely check with the nursing school itself first to see which...

Shawn, Yes, I did interview with Felicia Diggs, and I'm 99% sure she's 4th floor. The only work I'm doing until Aug 17th is babysitting. You're an LPN, right? I wish I had some background skills...

Shawn, congrats on getting the job. Which floor are you going to be on? I also got a job and will be working on the general medicine unit (4 South). It actually took them a whole month after my...

Are you interested in getting a BSN or an advanced degree? To my knowledge GWU only has a masters program for RNs, no undergrad program. I live in the DC area, and I know Georgetown U is very good...

Yes, I am from DC. I didn't know that was one of their criteria for employment.

Wow that's tough. Where and what unit is your other offer for?
