  1. Where to live?

    Great minds think alike. I was thinking the same thing. The NW area of DC is ridiculous in price (i.e. Tenlytown, Friendship Heights, etc). I was thinking maybe the Silver Spring or Takoma Park...

    Congrats! I have the same question. I will be working for WHC, so let me know if you find something
  3. Non-hospital job for new grad?

    It won't be easy if you have no previous healthcare administration experience, but it's possible. You may be able to find something in public health, quality improvement, or insurance. Good
  4. Mother/ Baby Staffing Ratios

    At Holy Cross it can be anything from 1:5 to 1:8:stone. I've even heard bigger, but I'm not sure how true that is. Anyway, Holy Cross does the most births in MD, so that's something to consider....

  8. Johns Hopkins & Johns Hopkins Bayview

    I would echo what the other ladies have said. The location is MUCH better for parking and security. I hear the campus is nice during the spring and summertime and you have the same Hopkins name on...
  9. cause of diaphoresis

    I have a question. (Keep in mind, I'm still in school) As a nurse, how far are we supposed to go as far as figuring out WHY she has diaphoresis. Isn't it our job to report the symptom to the doctor...

  13. Jobless Adn~ Rn?

    I agree with you, but I was wondering why the difference in practice in the two different states. I think it's because there's more of a nursing shortage in
  14. location of Johns hopkins Bayview

    White Marsh or Perry Hall. White Marsh is a little on the expensive side, but has your typical franchise restaurants, malls and the movies. The housing is nice and it's not more than 20 minutes away...
  15. Jobless Adn~ Rn?

    This is a little off topic, but do NY hospitals want you to pass your NCLEX before you apply? In Maryland, it seems like all the choice jobs are taken by the May 2008 graduates and it's not even...

  21. How do you determine the job market for a particular specialty? Does the job market tend to be regional or is there an overall sense of which NPs are marketable than
  22. Lactation Consultants: Where do they chart?

    Some obvious things that come to mind are: parity meds medical hx (including surgeries like masectomy(s) breastfeeding hx (initiation, duration, exclusivity) psychosocial/demographic (married,...
  23. OB Nurses: How was your first year?

    I find the 'First year in nursing' threads fascinating and scary, but I rarely see experiences from OB nurses. Perhaps this is because it is atypical to have your first year in an OB unit. So for the...
  24. I don't know what you consider cheap, but I stayed at Charles Towers once. It was safe. Mgmt was a pain, but overall it was a good experience. The only reason I moved was that parking got to be...
