Where in Baltimore do you make $5 more an hour as a new grad?

yep, still there but looking for new things. Not leaving just more of a challenge , a change, something new. Good luck with your interview. What floor are you looking at ?

I read the article you linked but I think the education requirement many hospitals are imposing and the new rules for degree attainment (ex: you will need a doctorate to get NP after , um 2014?, I think) down play the importance of experience on the ...

You have to factor in cost of living in your area, cost of benefits and commuting costs. You can make a lot of money as a nurse-it depends on how much you want to work, climbing the clinical ladder and pursuit of continuing education. As more hospit...

West. Please try to not live on the west side. It gets super sketchy really quickly. That area is a high crime area of city but it is really cute and close to downtown/harbor area and fed hill stuff. The cheaper you find something the more likely you...

what does UAP/RN mean?

I have a pair of clogs, but they are from Dr. Scholls and are called the Dancer model. I love them. Light like crocs but with a heel and arch support. I never have a sore back or sore feet, never a blister and I can wipe them off clean with cavicide ...

I don't see unions only about pay scale. I can see that unions would help secure patient ratios, improve safety, decrease burnout, decrease mistakes, offer support. I really want to stay at my facility but we get a 1-2% increase each year and if I wa...

I am curious, now that I will be coming up on my 3rd year as an RN in February and can take a breath and look around (man, they are not joking when they tell you in school you are considered a "novice" RN for two years because it really does take tha...

If you are interested in the job, you should contact a recruitter directly. Call the hospital, ask for Nurse Recruitment and they will transfer you. Each department has different recruiters so tell them the area that you applied. Sometimes, people le...

I passed nclex feb 2 2009. I work ona surgical floor johns Hopkins bayview campus

I am ready to take my Med Surg cert next week and am so nervous. Any suggestions? I feel like I should have studied more but could really only find one book with sample questions in it. Any suggestions? Give me an idea what the test is like ? Lots of...

CMSRN baby!:):):):):) I passed. the one thing I did not know was how many out of 150 questions you have to get right to pass. Its not like NCLEX-much more complex questions as they are assuming that you are a nurse! It seemed like my 150 questions we...

They are not the same. At JHH Bayview, Medicine is two units Med A and Med B. The PCU is more intense medicine primary all cardiac on the 4th floor along with Tele. The Surgical floor is on 6th. Bridgeview is a medicine unit created for short stay/ob...

I took a course of review and I know the percentages and such. I meant are the real questions similar to what I have reviewed in the books. I found the Kaplan review questions to be much more detailed than the short and vague questions on NCLEX. I h...

I worked out the hours and if I worked OT on my floor I would make more money because we get time and a half for holidays and OT. All Main Campus floors except for Maternal Newborn/OBGYN are rotating day/night-so much so that most nurses just go to s...

I have also wondered why MD Nurses were not unionized outside of government work. I have been looking into and if you get more information i would be interested in hearing about it!

If you are a new nurse there is no better start to your career than Hopkins. I work at the bayview campus and have learned so much. benefits are very good and reasonable. You don't make as much money working at hopkins than you do working somewhere e...

Does anyone have anything to offer related to moving from Bayview Campus to Main campus of johns hopkins. The rotating day/night and requirement to work 40 hours per week for basically a salary is confusing and I can't be sure that its a good move fo...

Thank you so much for replying! The parking is twice as much as I pay now which is adrag. The benefits would probably be close to the same as I work at Bayview and we have the same EHP plan I just don't know how much the cost difference is. I am mo...

How do you find out where and how much the exams are? I am attending a Med/Surg consortium that is reccomended for RNs who want to become certified Med/Surg. Do you all recommend the study books for passing the exam-like for NCLEX?
