  1. New Graduate jobs in MD,VA,DC areas

    Pokytrokyt replied to Bellissimo's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Army, I just got hired as a new grad by Johns Hopkins, to work in critical care. So did several other people from my nursing school class - in both Peds and Critical care. They start groups of new...

  2. New grads 2011, Northern Virginia/DC, who is hiring?

    Pokytrokyt replied to Nurses-Rule1987's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I'm no expert on getting hired by hospitals after you have years of experience. I'm a new grad. You may try contacting Nurse Recruitment at Inova and Hopkins directly, but all job openings are posted...

  3. Johns Hopkins new grad 2011

    Pokytrokyt replied to sbostonRN's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I guess I forgot in all the excitement to get back here and let everyone know how my interview turned out. I was interviewed by HR and the nurse manager on June 29th. I was asked about my nursing...

    Pokytrokyt replied to Nurses-Rule1987's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I'm a May 2011 Georgetown BSN. This summer, I know of people in my cohort who found jobs at Inova, GW, Childrens, Washington Hospital Center (they hire every few months), and Virginia Hospital...

    Where in Peds are you working? One of my fellow students is starting in an adolescent Peds unit, and another is starting in the NICU, both on August

  6. NY Nursing Student Seeking Information about working at John Hopkins

    Pokytrokyt replied to Moej's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Thanks so much for your reply. I happened to read your post this morning on my iPhone just before going into my interview with HR. I think it really made a difference, as I had time to think about...

  7. NY Nursing Student Seeking Information about working at John Hopkins

    Pokytrokyt replied to Moej's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Hi ean29, I have a job interview this Wednesday for a job in the Cardiac CCU. Can you give me a heads-up on what to expect in the interview? I'm not sure whether the interviewer focuses on...

  8. License by Endorsement in GA, How long did it take?

    Pokytrokyt replied to quiteone's topic in Georgia Nursing

    great, thanks for the heads up! too bad ga is not part of the nursing licensure compact. that would make things a lot easier for many of us

  9. License by Endorsement in GA, How long did it take?

    Pokytrokyt replied to quiteone's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Hi All, I have a couple questions about RN licensure by endorsement, too. I currently live and am licensed in VA and have applied for a job as a new grad nurse at a hospital in GA. The hospital...

  10. Johns Hopkins new grad 2011

    Pokytrokyt replied to sbostonRN's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Congrats on passing the NCLEX, and getting the job at JHH! Follow up question: what's a portfolio? I'm from northern VA (DC suburbs), so initially I would be commuting about 60-90 minutes each way...

  11. Memphis Area Job Outlook

    Pokytrokyt replied to mack68's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I couldn't disagree more. I'm not looking for perfection, either. But I won't put my patients or my license at risk by working in unsafe conditions. An 8:1 or 9:1 patient ratio for a new grad...

  12. Johns Hopkins new grad 2011

    Pokytrokyt replied to sbostonRN's topic in Maryland Nursing

    It took me a while to figure out that JHH posts a lot of Nurse Clinician I positions for just one day. A day later, the posting is gone. On Wednesday, I saw a posting for a new grad opening in the...

  13. Washington Hospital Center July 2011

    Pokytrokyt replied to Y.not.ask's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting. Do you remember how long you waited after your interview before you got a job offer? It seems like some people received offers quickly this year, while the rest of us haven't heard yea...

  14. Washington Hospital Center July 2011

    Pokytrokyt replied to Y.not.ask's topic in General Nursing

    What unit did you request v. What unit did they interview you for? And I have the same question as you, regarding re-interviewing if we don't get the unit we interviewed for. I could be wrong, but I...

  15. Washington Hospital Center July 2011

    Pokytrokyt replied to Y.not.ask's topic in General Nursing

    I think my interview went well. But, I haven't yet received an offer, so I guess mine didn't go QUITE as well as yours. :-) Did they tell you which unit/floor you'll be working in? Also, did they...

  16. Washington Hospital Center July 2011

    Pokytrokyt replied to Y.not.ask's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah I think so. I interviewed for 1E-IMC. How did your interview

  17. Washington Hospital Center July 2011

    Pokytrokyt replied to Y.not.ask's topic in General Nursing

    Be very careful to read all the requirements for licensure in DC. It's more than just the NCLEX. I think you need a background check and fingerprints as well. DC changed their licensing regs this...

  18. Washington Hospital Center July 2011

    Pokytrokyt replied to Y.not.ask's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, congratulations that's fantastic! What units did you ask to interview

  19. Washington Hospital Center July 2011

    Pokytrokyt replied to Y.not.ask's topic in General Nursing

    Since we submitted our resume and cover letter online, I don't think it's necessary. But I think I brought copies of my resume anyway to give to whoever interviewed me, as needed. I also brought my...

  20. Washington Hospital Center July 2011

    Pokytrokyt replied to Y.not.ask's topic in General Nursing

    When you interviewed, did they say when we should hear something back from them? I thought they told me it would be this

  21. Washington Hospital Center July 2011

    Pokytrokyt replied to Y.not.ask's topic in General Nursing

    Emergency Dept is very competitive. I suggest you call the HR recruiter ASAP and discuss with them. They have so many interviews to do, you'll only get to interview with one nurse

  22. Washington Hospital Center July 2011

    Pokytrokyt replied to Y.not.ask's topic in General Nursing

    You'll do fine! What units did you say you wanted to interview

    Pokytrokyt posted a topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm currently in the accelerated 2nd degree BSN program at Georgetown Univ in DC, graduating in May '11. My partner would like us to consider living in Miami after I graduate, so I need to start...

    That's a great idea. My cohort did that. Take a look (it's wide open) on FB. Georgetown University Spring 2010

  25. Washington Hospital Center July 2011

    Pokytrokyt replied to Y.not.ask's topic in General Nursing

    I had my job interview at WHC today. It was pretty much like JennRN625 reported previously. There were probably 40 people at my interview, which was held in a large theatre-seating auditorium at the...
