    Agrippa replied to dlc5's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Agrippa replied to eml2142's topic in Maryland Nursing

  8. Nursing JOB shortage in Maryland!

    Agrippa replied to CASTLEGATES's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Just general advice - try networking with your colleagues. From your 15 yrs of experience, you must have tones of ex-coworkers all around the area. Most jobs are gotten by word of mouth.

  12. Johns Hopkins or University of Maryland??

    Agrippa replied to misssrblake's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Agrippa replied to JP82's topic in School, College Programs

  15. Johns Hopkins or University of Maryland??

    Agrippa replied to misssrblake's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Many good points kira. However, its been my experience that the "Hopkins" name doesn't give one an an advantage over a degree from UMB in this area - at least in the nursing field. I think its...
