Some nurses who are not new grads and have been working for a year or two don't know what the market is like now. Times have changed. There is no longer a nursing shortage, or at least, not a shortage that the hospital is acknowledging. If you are a ...
Yes you can do it! I just finished school and nclex. I was working only 24 hrs a week, three days a week. It will be a challenge work and school combined. There will be times when you are discouraged but the secret is to not give up. Keep doing what ...
Wow I can't believe how these hospitals jack everyone around, its unbelievable. I think I would take the first job and then see what happens. I wold NOT worry about turning a hospital down later if something changes. Good luck. which hospital is it, ...
Yes the HR dept there is frustrating. I work there as a tech so i was able to get around HR. I would call them if you can and continue to bug them. They have one more dream day at the end of this month. I know it is frustrating to do so. I alos hear ...
Very different part of the city from WHC. Upscale clients, not a teaching hospital, not as diverse as the inner city hospitals. I did 3 clinicals there. Did you apply at WHC?

Good training, large hospital so you get great experience. Challenging environment with some nurses who are burned out! It would be a good option and you can get your experience and get something better.

Wow good for you! I have been working at WHC for a year now as a PCT while finishing school. I live in the silver spring area. Not the nicest building but the rent is fair. Rents tend to be cheaper in Prince Georges County and also in Virginia. Rents...
Hello, what floor will you be working on? I have been working on 4NW as a PCT for the last year and will begin the fellowship on the floor in July. I would suggest looking on craigs list for apt listings. DC is expensive but you probably already know...

Hey groovy jeff, I was hoping to apply to mayo next month. Have they stopped? I recieved an email from the recruiter in December saying that the job posing would take place in February for June placement. Of course i have not heard from her since the...
Thanks David for the reply regarding UMC. I am definetly going to apply as soon as the posting is up. What do you like about the flagstaff area? I have heard that the cost of housing is higher there. Do you think the extra $2 an hour wil be spent on ...
Hello, I am graduating in May and I hear your concerns. Its seems like many of the hospitals are cutting back on new grad hires but I assume that as an experienced nurse of one year or more you should not have that much of a problem. What do you thin...
