1. Any Hospital Hiring in MD?

   dasburyRN replied to MajesticRN's topic in Maryland

   ReeNee, I got the offer letter on November 2nd and started November 28th. I believe it is typical to allow at least three weeks between the offer date and orientation. They expect you to have your pre-emplloyment screening complete two weeks before...

3. Johns Hopkins orientation

   dasburyRN replied to sbrownRN's topic in Maryland

   Glad you found your way their this morning!! I didn't see this until now. I didn't have a chance to talk to you today. I think you sat a couple of rows behind me :) I heard your name being called but by the time I turned around I couldn't tell wh...

4. Will nursing grow on me?

   dasburyRN replied to lilmissnurse12's topic in General Nursing

   Try getting into a specialty like Opthamology or working for a doctor outside of the hospital. How about a medi-spa? There are so many things you can do with your degree! Just do a little research.

5. Johns Hopkins orientation

   dasburyRN replied to sbrownRN's topic in Maryland

   It will definitely be an adjustment! It's been about 5 years for me.

6. Johns Hopkins orientation

   dasburyRN replied to sbrownRN's topic in Maryland

   Hahaha! I saw that. It's kind of funny what ends up having to be printed in orientation packets because someone along the way thought it was a good idea to show up looking like they just rolled out of bed. I am not nervous....yet. Right now I ...

   dasburyRN replied to sbrownRN's topic in Maryland

   Congratulations! I wonder how many new grads there will be in our group. BTW, sbrown, did you decide what to wear? I think I'm just going to wear black dress pants and a nice shirt and sweater.

   I used this resume sample as my guide. It worked for me so I hope it helps. resume sample_1.doc

9. Can a bachelors degree in other areas affect pay?

   dasburyRN replied to cljonesfuturenurse's topic in General Nursing

   Hopkins gives new grads credit for past work experience that requires use of a previous bachelors degree. For every 3 years of work experience in your prior field, they give you 1 year pay increase.

10. Periop 101 Interview

    dasburyRN replied to LuvScrubs2's topic in Operating Room

    I couldn't have said it better. I think I was asked all of these things in my interview for the OR as well. The nurse manager flat out asked me to tell her about the roles of the circulator and scrub nurse. Make sure you know the basics.

11. HELP! I think I have poor interviewing skills!

    dasburyRN replied to amaterasu912's topic in Job Hunt

    Here's what I think. You must be doing something right to even get these interviews! Rejections happen because we can't be everything to everybody. If you are feeling overly nervous before your interviews just treat the inteview as if you are not pl...

12. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    dasburyRN replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Haha! Diva, you are correct. He wasn't actually a professor, rather an adjunct. He mispronounced or misused a word nearly every sentence. It's hard to respect someone as a professional if they can't pronounce words correctly. So many people comp...

13. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    dasburyRN replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    I had a nursing professor say "I mean, she was emancipated...like she hadn't eaten in three days!"

14. Any Hospital Hiring in MD?

    dasburyRN replied to MajesticRN's topic in Maryland

    Mid November there will be lots of new grad jobs posted. It seems to me though that most hosptials are patial to THEIR students. However, I just got a job at Hopkins, had no medical experience, and didn't do my practicum there. It's possible!

15. Johns Hopkins orientation

    dasburyRN replied to sbrownRN's topic in Maryland

    I don't have a clue. My head is still swimming with the fact that I actually have a job! I don't think the job offer stated anything about what to wear to orientation. Hopefully I will received the occupational health email soon. So much to do in...
