ED Nurse moving to MD; Interest in Peds

Published

Hello friends!

I'm planning on moving to MD and am looking for advice on good hospitals to work for (ie, support their nurses, good teamwork, a place to grow at, flexible scheduling, with decent benefits). I'm an ED nurse but I'm also in love with pediatrics so I'm open to both departments.

I'm focusing my search near the Silver Spring area but I'm very open to other parts of MD also.

Thank you ahead of time for your help!

I'm also an ED nurse potentially looking to move to Maryland this summer, likely the Baltimore area. I've done some reading on here and online and found that the University of Maryland Hospital system, Johns Hopkins and Mercy are well-reviewed. Mercy has been listed in some lists as one of the best hospitals to work for in the nation regarding nursing benefits. I (also) don't know anyone who works for these hospitals as I'm across the country, hopefully someone will respond and give us some more insight :-)

I haven't heard any complaints about Mercy; its the second best hospital in the state after Hopkins. I have heard complaints regarding staffing at Hopkins from my friend who works there. The UM hospitals are good too, some much better than others. UMMC and St. Josephs Medical Center are at the top of my list. GBMC is also pretty good.

GBMC has a pedi ER/inpatient unit. I was a student nurse extern and enjoyed it. It's a very small unit though - 6 pedi ED beds and maybe 6 inpatient ones.
