Hey everyone!

I have had job interviews with the above hospitals. With JHH I interviewed for their home care group and for good samaritan in their ER. Just wanted to know if anyone had any opinions on either or have worked for either and could tell me about any of your experiences while working there....I am having a tough decision deciding what I want to do. Thanks :)

ps....does anyone know the pay for good sam Rn with 2 yrs experience?

I have also interviewed for JHH and Good Samaritan, Hopkins I interviewed for their Sickle Cell Clinic and I have an interview for their ER dept. I interviewed for Good Samaritan's ER residency program. I was very excited about the program and how its taught being new to ED Nursing I think its important to have an extensive orientation on specialty units. Yes, we both have a hard decision to make but I'm really interested in working at Hopkins. I think their benefits are awesome, as nurses you are salaried and can get OT and shift differentials. I will see on my interview on Jan. 20th what kind of ER orientation they do have and they are a Level 1 Trauma center with many educational programs and options to take advantage of. They have a hospital over in the middle east that they staff nurses for, they are just an all around good hospital to work for. Don't really know much about Good Samaritan other than they are a level 2/3 center basically med/surg. ER no trauma's only stabilization and no PEDs. Their Director is soooooo hilarious and the guy that does the education of the ER is really nice and very knowledgeable. I will let you know if I find out anything else that would help you in your decision. Good luck and I will keep you posted.

Good Sam is a good hospital and should pay well, the experience you get at Hopkins is priceless, and having their name on your resume will be extremely valuable for the rest of your career-worldwide!

My son went to work at JHH right out of school, didn't pay much, but 2 years later he is already reaping the rewards.

Don't pass it up!!

Sorry, I'm just getting back to you. I have been busy all week with orientation and getting prepared for my commute. To answer your question I didn't get the job at Good Samaritan but I did get the job at Johns Hopkins which I am VERY EXCITED about. My orientation was awesome, just to hear all the opportunities and options they have to offer. None of the speakers were boring and they all seemed very passionate about their jobs. Everyone started out saying that they were only going to be there for a couple of years and most of the speakers have been there for 20+ years all starting at a entry level positions i.e. secretary and techs. I have never attended an hospital orientation like this before. They EXPECT and ENCOURAGE you to advance your career.

I can go on and on but I will tell you this. I am glad things worked out this way. They are in the process of updating their facilities a BILLION dollar renovation. I'm happy to be apart of it all and the center that I'm in has only been open for 2 years and they are going to be a huge deal for sickle cell patients and research which has already started.

Thanks for checking in on me and I will keep you all posted.:yeah:
