  1. Proliability policy documents Proliability
  2. Why are Nurses in MD not organized labor wise?

    Maybe I'm stupid, but it seems to me that if I don't like my salary or work environment... then I quit and go somewhere else. Adding union employee salaries and the new salaries for the extra employer management that is then needed doesn't magicall...
  3. Associate Degree or BSN?

    GBMC hospital recently started only hiring nurses with BSN degrees.
  4. Here are the coverage details for the three companies when I was looking for insurance for Maryland recently. The link in Caffein's post above has explanations for some of the terminology. NSO/HPSO (CNA) Type of coverage: Occurrence1 mil/6 mil: $1081...
  5. Most nurses seem to use NSO without much thought. I couldn't stand to not know what the other options are, so I did some research. I found that there are really only three widely-available companies that sell liability insurance for nurses. The fir...
  6. Young new grad relocating to Baltimore

    Those downtown neighborhoods will be expensive. You can hunt online to find out how much. You might consider an apartment in Owings Mills or Pikesville for a year until you get familiar with the city. Baltimore's only subway line goes out there dir...
  7. Board of Nursing selling your data!

    I have been wondering for years how I get junk mail from people who know that I'm a nurse. And how it kept following me even when I moved. The only thing that made sense was that the mailers were getting the data directly from the MBON. But I coul...
  8. Need advice please-moving to Maryland

    Sounds like a few trips might be in order to get familiar with the area. Where will your fiancee be working?
  9. DE resident working in MD and taxes

    First the bad news: Maryland and Delaware don't have any kind of agreement on taxes. If you are a resident of Delaware and work in Maryland, you will have to do a tax return for both states. You will have to do a Maryland return for your income in M...
  10. MD hospital near PA & DE borders?

    Sweet indeed. I'm surprised O'Malley hasn't started ending the tax reciprocity agreement with those states. But you have a slight mistake. Delaware is not on the list. Virginia is. And Delaware is a big exception. If you live in Delaware and wor...
  11. I now have about two years experience at a good Baltimore area hospital (GBMC). I'm thinking about moving to Delaware, but I want to continue at a larger sophisticated hospital for a few more years to build up my experience. I know Christiana hosp...
  12. Are hospitals outside of Wilmington competitive?

    That's what I expected, unfortunately. I don't know anything about PRMC. I guess I'll look into it. I assume it is also small and maybe not quite the place to gain experience. Vania, no I didn't go to Towson. I used to live in Montgomery county b...
  13. Advice: Want to buy a condo!

    I work near Hunt Valley and a coworker once told me that High View was a ripoff. Something about low-quality construction and unhappy residents. I don't recall the details. You always have to be very careful when buying a condo... especially in th...
  14. baltimore..what's it like

    What makes you pick Mercy in Baltimore? Are you somehow limited to this area or could you go anywhere? I realize you are in Australia. I don't know where you live there, but my guess would be that living in downtown Baltimore would be a mistake fo...
  15. Baltimore safety

    Baltimore gets crazier. Last week there was yet another beating on a bus and I just heard on the radio that there was a stabbing on a bus a day or two ago. So I guess the rule is to stay off the bus if you live or work in Baltimore. If Hopkins wer...
  16. VJC and Towson BSN grads/current students

    Here's the info directly from the MBON http://www.mbon.org/main.php?v=norm&p=0&c=education/nclex_rn_stats_fy07.html The chart says it is the BSN program. I don't know what happens if they lose approval from the board of nursing. Their pass r...
  17. VJC and Towson BSN grads/current students

    The original post on this topic is quite old, but for the interest of others, the fall 2007 MD Board of Nursing newsletter notes that Villa Julie BSN degree nursing only has a 77.5% NCLEX passing rate. "Program fell below required passing rate for M...
  18. Need Encouragment Please

    What were you doing before last week? Honestly, if it is really that bad you should probably leave. The question is whether you should go quickly and leave it off your resume in the future or whether you should tough it out while looking for anothe...
  19. Baltimore safety

    Owings Mills is an excellent choice because in the "New Town" section, there are a lot of relatively new apartment complexes. Nearby Pikesville has some good choices, but those apartments are older. Most of the apartments around Timonium and Cockey...
  20. Baltimore safety

    I agree with the others. You should live outside of the city until you become familiar with the area. Sad to say, but there are only a few safe areas in the city, but even there the violence sometimes crosses over. Just this past week, some lady w...
