Hey friends! So I am looking for some advice. I am looking to apply to Children's National Medical Center within the next few months and was wondering how competitive it is/how to make myself more competitive/what chances I have at landing a job. I have my BSN, and also have another Bachelor's degree. I will have approximately 2 years of RN experience by the time I plan on applying, and about 1.75 years of that time in Pediatrics. I also have my PALS certification (and BLS too obviously) and I am DETERMINED to have my CPN(Certified Pediatric Nurse) by then as well (keeping the optimism, I will DEF HAVE IT BE THEN ? ) I also have worked as a preschool teacher before coming a nurse, so that is additional experience working with children and families. I am also interested in working at Inova Children's. Based on this, if anyone has worked there or currently works at both locations can you give me any advice on what you think of my qualifications and how good of a chance do you think  I will have at getting a job. It would be my absolute dream! Thanks fam rock on xoxoxo

I’ve worked at INOVA as a new grad over 10 yrs ago. I completed Their New Grad Program. It was an amazing place to work back then. I worked on Pediatrics Med-Surg and then did a  Pediatric Critical Care Fellowship and worked in the PICU which was equally amazing. Not sure what it is like now though.
I work for Children’s now . I worked at the Main Campus and did a Cardiac Fellowship worked in the CICU for a few years. When the commute got to be too much I transferred to an Outpatient Center. Both experiences have been great! Children’s is growing and evolving so there are so many opportunities. They pay extremely well. I believe better than INOVA.

I hope that gives you some insight! Good Luck!
