Georgetown is notorious for hiring lots of new grads because the turnover rate is so high. I worked there three months and left and most of the other new grads that came in with me were out of there by the time they got their second bonus check. Of course everyone's experience is different but I couldn't help but present another view point.
question boisern84? or to any guh nurses...
so i have been offered a micu job at georgetown. i am coming from mn if i make the move. do you think it is worth it? the pay is different and i would be loosing about $4/hr to work in dc. life is certainly more expensive out there as well. given all of your experience...what do you think?

i've worked at georgetown for a couple months now, came in as an experienced nurse. i must say that i hands down love it here. hands down my favorite job in a while. i look forward to going to work, the nurse-to--pt ratios are very safe (don't know about icu, but for med-surg 1:4-5 on days, 1:5 at nights, 6 max after 11). plenty of continuing education opportunities. message me privately if you have any particular questions.

Hi everyone,
I'm just curious to know what its like to work at Georgetown University Hospital, aside from pay and benefits (although if you see fit, feel free to comment on those too). Do/did you enjoy the nurses you worked with, the doctors? What about the hours and conditions? What about the cafeteria (silly, I know, but valid!) I'm particularly interested in any information you have on the PICU, but would love to hear about all other areas as well. Thanks for your help! :yelclap:
