Hello everyone, I graduated with my ASN back in 2011 and have now been working at a doctor's office which specializes in pain management. I have now become quite bored with the idea of working as a nurse in a doctors office and am looking for a more fast paced environment. My father actually works with someone who's best friend is a Nurse Manager at Johns Hopkins and I have spoke to him about using him as a reference and that he is ok with. Sorry for the rant but I was wondering if anyone knew that names of any of the Nurse Recruiters at Johns Hopkins so that I can address them personally in my cover letter? I was also wondering if anyone knew what kinds of attributes Johns Hopkins are looking for in a cover letter as I am "technically" a new graduate since I have not working in a hospital. I am currently half way thru my Bachelor's Degree at Towson University so I know that is a plus but was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions. Thanks for any insight, Tristan

I am currently doing a paper on this subject and was wondering if any of you knew of any literature on the safety of nurses when it comes to dealing with autistic patients. As of right now I can only find information on how to properly care for pediatric patients with autism but have been unsuccessful on finding any actual studies on the dangers of working with a patient like above if not trained properly. Thanks for any insight, Tristan

Hi Everybody, I have to write a research paper for school and the topic I have chosen is on the care of autistic children throughout the spectrum of nursing but mainly in the ED or emergency situations. I am wondering if anyone could refer me to any websites(journals or text) that have information on how people with mental health issues are cared for in todays health system. My main point that I am looking to convey throughout the paper is how many nurses these days are not educated on how to care for patients with complex mental health issues. Thanks for any insight, Tristan.
