Johns Hopkins new grad 2011

Published

Hello Maryland nurses :)

I'm from the Boston area, graduating with my ADN in May. I applied for the JHH clinical nurse residency program and I just got contacted for an interview! I don't know when it will be yet but I'm very excited. I'm not sure if DH and I will be able to relocate, but even the chance to interview with them is an amazing opportunity. Has anyone interviewed there and have any tips? Is anyone in the program currently? I requested the general medicine as my first choice, and critical care and surgery as my secondary choices. The job market is really tough up in the Boston area so I hope something pans out in Baltimore. Everything I've read says the Hopkins name really opens doors for you!

thank you stpherburg!...Is it a good start there? i just had my phone interview there last Sept 17 and the recruiter was very nice to me. she said she'll get back to me in a week after she forwards my application to the nurse manager. but until now i havent heard anything. should i call her? I'm really paranoid if i got the job or not.

Hi Pokytrokyt!

Does JHH accept only graduates in this country? I've applied to 3 Nurse Clinician positions but all I got was rejection messages in the status of my application. How do they really get to notice you? I mean, this is my 4th month mark of being unemployed. I feel like giving up already.

Realistically, JHH gets a huge number of applicants for every opening they have. Many nursing positions are only posted online for 1 day. So if you are not selected for one if these positions, you are in good company.

I work at the east Baltimore campus but from what I know Bayview has a full range of services/units. By no means is it a rehab facility or "sub acute". It is the adult burn center for Maryland, has a long-standing OR residency for nurses, etc. Definitely study their website a little bit to find out more about their services if you are interviewing there.

Hi, are you able to give me a name of a nurse recruiter in Bayview Medical, I am currently looking for a job there, it would be very helpful! I can give you my email, if you don't want to leave her name out in the open.

Thank you!

January 15---Applied

January15---Nurse Recruiter e-mailed saying they are interested and asked when I want an interview.

January 15--I replied and ask for Jan. 22nd.

January 16---Nurse Recruiter confirms Jan.22nd but asked that I call on Jan. 18th to make sure Nurse Manager confirms since I was out of town.

January 18—called nurse recruiting office and had the approval to come in Jan.22nd for interview

January 22---I had my interview on the medical ICU and 2 hour share time.

February 6th---Official letter being accepted for the position.

February 8th---Scheduled for Occupational Health

If anyone has more information on Occupational Health day as what to bring, wear and your experience….that would be nice. The same for Orientation please. Maybe some tips what you really must bring that would made these two processes (occupational health and orientation) easy. I wish everyone great luck. I know it’s hard out there.

Sweetie85,

What did your Nursing portfolio look like? I'm starting my RN program in the Spring, and instead of waiting until the end of my program to make my portfolio, I'm thinking I should set things aside along the way as I'm working through the program. Was your portfolio 8x10 or larger? Did you assemble it like a term paper?

Thank you!

Hi, there. i know this post was several years ago but would say that things run about the same? Thank you.

I had SO much stuff. We were only in Baltimore for that one day, so I actually had a whole suitcase with my garment bag. I packed all my "plane stuff" in the suitcase and put my scrubs in the garment bag so I could just switch them out when I changed. The NM let me store my stuff in her office. So I definitely don't think it's a big deal if you have a backpack or briefcase to put your scrubs in. I think they understand you have to have a certain amount of baggage when you have to change mid-way through the day.

Don't work yourself up too much. The questions they asked me were fairly easy (for me). Stuff like, the pt is in fluid overload, what drug would you give (Lasix)? The Lasix treatment isn't going well, she's going into renal failure, what else would you give (another diuretic, low Na diet, dialysis)? If you're not yet a nurse, you can always say you haven't had that content yet in clinical.

The recruiter told me that they are kind of on a hiring freeze right now, so don't worry about being on a wait list. My "start date" was July 5th anyways, so it's a ways off. They have start dates once a month for orienting new grads. So it's very possible that you will start in the summer as well. Keep your hopes up and rock that interview!! Good luck and let us know how it goes!
