  1. New Grad RN looking for job in DC, please help me!!

    malenurz replied to chachi1212's topic in General Nursing

    Was the Nurse Externship as a student nurse, or were you actually an RN? If you were still a student nurse, they would not count it as RN experience, though it is a good on the resume - it just won't...

  2. Graduate Nurse with Associate's Degree

    malenurz replied to adnKY's topic in General Nursing

    in 2009, I got a job at a DC hospital, and I have a 2-year degree. (Actually got a 2nd offer, too). It can be done, but you have to be patient. It also helps to have a DC license, so apply for that...

  3. Washington Hospital Center New Grad Program

    malenurz posted a topic in General Nursing

    Can anyone tell me when Washington Hospital Center's new grad programs start? I don't see any start dates on their website. I see they have Dream Days every month, but can't figure out when the actual...

  4. Civilian Nurses at Walter Reed Army Medical Center

    malenurz replied to Conquering Lion's topic in General Nursing

    There is a civilian agency that supplies staff (experienced nurses) at Walter Reed. I don't know the name of the company, but they often advertise on Craigslist. Good luck!

  5. Housing near hospitals

    malenurz replied to fpolo's topic in General Nursing

    Consider coming a few days early to look on CList. CL can be a very difficult way to find housing in DC without being here. Also, beware - there are a lot of scams on this site as well We found...

  8. RN to BSN online

    malenurz replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hi All - This is a pretty old discussion, so I was looking for some recent experiences with reasonably-priced, online RN-BSN programs. Most of the postings I'm looking at here are several years old....

  9. D.C. Board of Nursing?

    malenurz replied to fawnsternurse's topic in General Nursing

    If you live in the DC area, take the time to drive to DC, once you have all of your paperwork together and bring the stuff into the Department of Health yourself, in person. You can get same-day...

  10. New Graduate Liscense

    malenurz replied to GreatBrit's topic in General Nursing

    I had my original license in another state (not MO) but the most important consideration is being sure that you have all of your ducks in a row. Make sure all of your t's are crossed and your i's are...

  11. New Graduate Liscense

    malenurz replied to GreatBrit's topic in General Nursing

    I agree it doesn't make financial sense, but, it is much easier to get the license in the state of your nursing school, rather than having to jump through the hoops of trying to convince the DC folks...

  12. New Graduate Liscense

    malenurz replied to GreatBrit's topic in General Nursing

    If I were you, I'd consider just getting your license in Missouri, then after you pass the NCLEX, applying for your DC license. I just started working in DC in October, and that's what I

  14. Rotating shifts at your hospital?

    malenurz replied to insa's topic in General Nursing

    We do not work rotating shifts at my facility (Sibley Memorial Hospital), but I think we are an anomaly in that respect. From what I have heard, many do require rotating

  15. Help me...

    malenurz replied to empathykitty's topic in General Nursing

    Well, there are places you can hire to help you find apartments - but that costs some cash ($500-700). I'm a new grad nurse who just moved to DC in the past 2 1/2 months. It was a challenge, but there...

  16. Any hospitals hiring new grads?

    malenurz replied to RN1298's topic in General Nursing

    Amy12 - don't panic. Do you have your license yet, or are you still in school? It's tough to open doors when you're from o-o-s (out-of-state). It's not impossible, but... it can be challenging. If...

  18. Army Reserve Nurse Corps Officer Requirements

    malenurz replied to zrc2009's topic in Government, Military

    Technically, the Army does accept ADN nurses for the reserves. However, on the practical side of things, they have VERY few slots. They have something like 30 slots (nationwide!!!) for all of 2010....

  19. Any new grad RN jobs in Washington

    malenurz replied to mqad48's topic in Washington Nursing

    If you are serious about wanting to move to Washington, you need to get to Washington to start looking. They definitely won't take you seriously if you're not in town. That is crystal-clear. Once...

    you may be able to opt out, but you still have to pay dues, even if you choose not to be part of the

  21. Is Providence Hospital still union free?

    malenurz replied to CASTLEGATES's topic in General Nursing

    I've always thought it was funny when people complained about paying union dues, but, they never seemed to complain when their hourly rate was better than in the non-union hospitals. You should have...

  22. name that hospital and its starting salary

    malenurz replied to krazaygerl's topic in General Nursing

    Sibley Memorial Hospital starts at $24/hr, but for new grads who pass their new grad program, they offer a $15,000 stipend (basically a taxed scholarship) that can be used on anything. Seems like a...

  23. Is Providence Hospital still union free?

    malenurz replied to CASTLEGATES's topic in General Nursing

    The only hospital in DC that has a union is Washington Hospital Center. Providence definitely does NOT have a union. But, given the poor state of their facilities, the worst pay in the district, and...

  24. Union Hospitals

    malenurz replied to nursemimi08's topic in General Nursing

    I'm aware of only one hospital in DC that has a union - Washington Hospital Center. All of the others (in DC anyway) do not have a union. Not sure if it makes a difference, as I haven't been in the...

  25. Which School do you recomend?

    malenurz replied to AshleyAlice2010's topic in Washington Nursing

    Don't short yourself by excluding Everett Community College. Not sure how people think that Shoreline is the "best" and I'm not sure what standards they use for measuring, but I recently graduated...
