The only hospital that I recently worked at, as a traveler, is Bethesda North Hospital. I really liked the hospital. The hospital has recently gone to computer charting, which I don't think some of the nurses liked, especially if your not computer-savy. As I am very experienced with computers (use to work as a ex secretary/acct clerk), so this type of charting didn't bother me. One thing that was new to me, was bar-coded medication administration. I live in Xenia, Ohio, which is between Columbus and Cinncinnati. The hospitals there do not use this type of system. It seemed like such a 'hassle' to just give a patient a pill, the old fashioned way. But I think all in all, that it seems to be the 'safest' way to avoid medication errors.
Good luck.
