There's a shuttle in mount Vernon. There's lots of shuttles because of safety. On every corner there are cops. Driving from my friends to JHU went from really nice, to sketchy as hell to sketchy to JHU.

My friend said that if you look at the map as a clock face, there's an area between 12 and 1 that is considered safe. He lives in the amount Vernon area, and it's fairly pricey.

I applied for the DNP-CNS, and got my acceptance on Friday. I also got into a local state school... I interviewed early March, but applied by 1/1. There was issue with my recommendations getting into the system, however. I haven't gotten my official ...

As a new grad who moved here in 2014, I moved for a boy too. It took me almost a year post graduation (I took some time off between graduation and taking the NCLEX). It took me LOTS of applications, and one random person to have a connection at a hos...

As a new graduate, I started making $24.78/hour, not including my BSN differential ($0.50/hour) and nights/weekend differential. My facility paid $1/hour for certifications as well. Moving facilities, I jumped up to about $26.75 with one year of exp...

I know someone who does, but not a critical care area. She likes it... But they've had some turnover since the issue with the tech possibly contaminating and stealing drugs. Or so I hear.

Exactly. If I went in knowing the test results werent available for 6 weeks really, and paper test, or just that I didnt have the small satisfaction of getting the results almost immediately through the trick that has been around for YEARS, then I wo...

I should clarify, when I say freaking out.... I mean stressing internally. I wasn't supporting the whole call and complain thing.

I am just saying that the whole experience is different. Just like it will be different for those graduating next year too. Sure, some things are the same, but things are different too as this is an ever evolving profession. Lack of acknowledging tha...

Ive never wanted to vomit more in my life.

While I get that seeing those of us complain about 48 hours and what not, this test is completely different. Its not, I need 60 or 80% to pass. Its not scantron. Its adaptive and so not very standardized. And, the simple fact that theyre making us w...

I'm starting to get a bit discouraged.... I feel bipolar over here! All sorts of excited and hopeful, then not so much. Lol

Grats! And good luck! Which areas did you request?

I was told by one of the hospital systems that you can't really apply there (unless it's a new grad position) until you have your license. Out of curiosity, I applied to a local hospital and was denied almost immediately. (I didn't know they looked ...

Having an optimistic look at things is always a great idea. I know that so many of us are really hoping for positions like this, and I wish there was room for everyone. As bad as I want a position like this, I am excited for those who may get the ...

My status has not changed. No call for me. I could see them leaving some people open for options, should they not get what they want in the first batch of interviews, or, should people decline interviews for whatever reason.

Thank you! Any wisdom or suggestions on jobs in the area outside of Children's if this doesn't work out? I'm limited here due to my fiancé job....

Yeah, I moved here.... YESTERDAY. Definitely was freaking out driving and reading the news. (Fiancé was driving, I was reading. )

Yeah that's what I was thinking too. Plus, there were 6 tornado touch downs yesterday, lots of hail, and flooding today, so I figured maybe they were preoccupied with making sure all the areas of the hospital were prepared, and just all around chaos ...

Congratulations!

That was the hardest question for me to answer.... which three areas. I LOVE almost every area of nursing... including critical care. I couldn't pick just three!!!

Yeah, I thought I saw that back then too, but had everything else going on so brushed it off as me misreading it.

I can't find anything on the website about time lines or updates. I just see for next March cycle, which seems odd.... I thought there was one for October, and seems too early to have taken that down too. So, I am not sure. My status is still rout...

That was what someone else said. I don't want to be impatient, because I'm sure there are lots of things they have going on too.

I keep getting busy unpacking after my move, and forgetting. Then I look and realize, and get all sorts of antsy again. I've tried really hard not to get my hopes up, but resistance has pretty much been futile!
