MedStar Washington Job

Updated:   Published

Hello everyone, I am very interested in working at MedStar Washington on the stroke unit with the new grad program. Does anyone have any information whatsoever about this unit? For example, is it a difficult unit to work in? How is the staff and teamwork? What are the true nurse to patient ratios? Is it a good environment? Also, what happens if you do not get a DC license before start date? Thank you very much for your input.

I actually can't remember the percentage tbh. :( about 50 cent increase the first year though

Is it a 2-yr commitment or 12-months for the new grad program at Medstar WHC?

Thanks chineye! I'll be working on 4F! I finally have my test date, though the earliest I could get was less than two weeks before the start date, I hope that isn't too close! How about you?

The residency is 12 months? So then youll have to commit to another 18-months to that same unit or just any unit within hospital? Thanks!

And whats the starting pay for new grads at WHC?

@chineye BSN

I might be interviewing with cardio. Any advice on what I should review in prep of the clinical questions they will ask? Im so nervous!! :nailbiting:

For me, I did not go in prepping clinical questions. I was given scenarios and asked what would I do for the patient, and was told I did excellent and was given an offer on the spot, this method has worked for me as I have received other offers. Relaxation and the right attitude is key, good luck. Trust me by the time you are done with it, you will realize how easy it was

Thanks chineye, but I get very anxious if I do not prepare. Were the questions very basic or require some good knowledge about cardio?

For me I would say some were basic and some had average knowledge about cardio
