  1. good agencies in MD?

    DeigoT replied to bissie's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I signed with up MSN but was cancelled numerous times (the same agency in NY rarely had cancellations). I learned that a part of the reason was my fault since I had only completed orientation packages...

  2. Are there many job opportunities in MD?

    DeigoT replied to RN 4 U's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I think if you google "Maryland hospitals", then go to the individual hospital's website, you will find that like in most places, there are a bunch of openings for nurses. You simply need to find one...

  3. Union Hospital

    DeigoT replied to RaggedyRN's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I worked there recently, and was pulled after 4 hours. The first 4 hours was on the 3rd Medsurg which a poster suggested to avoid, and the second 4 hours was on 9th floor medsurg. In the short time...

  4. Applied for MD license (endorsement) in April....no license yet?

    DeigoT replied to YogiBSN's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I agree with the other posts. I have been licensed in several states, but had to make numerous calls to MD BON to get my license. Another interesting thing, they renewed the license online, but...

  5. Moving to Baltimore--quiet/safe areas to live?

    DeigoT replied to Toby's mum's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Lived in White Marsh and loved it, but it is about a 30 min or so commute to downtown. Parts of Mt Vernon seems to be pretty nice

  6. Educational Opportunities While Traveling

    DeigoT replied to IdahoNurse's topic in Travel

    I think alot depends on the facility. At my job, travelers may register for and take classes available to the staff, however they are not paid for the time spent in class. These classes include...

    DeigoT replied to gregca5's topic in International Nursing

    Abetta care recently contacted me with positions in ST. Thomas (minimum 13 weeks). I am interested but the pay seems really

  8. NP's in Minute, Express, or Retail Clinic Setting

    DeigoT replied to brownrice's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have been an ANP (primary care) since 2001, but I am in transition, so I have not been working as an NP

  10. NP's in Minute, Express, or Retail Clinic Setting

    DeigoT replied to brownrice's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Ok, so I had my first experience with minute clinic. What a concept! Well I felt a cold sore coming on and felt that a RX for Valtrex may help to stave it off. Called my primary and he was out for...

  11. Med school enrollment and NP's/PA's

    DeigoT replied to brownrice's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    She felt it wasn't worth it. As a surgeon she wanted to build a "center of excellence." Well, she had no life. She would sometimes spend nights at work and rarely saw her children. She felt that...

  12. Med school enrollment and NP's/PA's

    DeigoT replied to brownrice's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think it is seen as a "large increase" more so because, as you mentioned, there had been a decrease in applications to med schools for many years, and most schools have kept their enrollment numbers...

  13. Med school enrollment and NP's/PA's

    DeigoT replied to brownrice's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Actually to the contrary, this year marks and upsurge in applications to med school.

  14. Holy Cross in Ft. Lauderdale

    DeigoT posted a topic in Agency Nurses

    I also posted this in the travel nursing forum. Just wondered if anyone knows about this facility? What is the work environment like, staff attitude towards travelers/seasonal/agency, med-surg nurse...

  16. NP Education

    DeigoT replied to zenman's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I definately agree with the need for more clinical hours. If you are fortunate enough to have your first position in a practice where your colleagues are very sharing and supportive, then great. But...

  17. NP w/no desire for RN?

    DeigoT replied to Pinoy2.0's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I totally agree. I, as well as other students in my program did more than the required numbers of clinical hours. Even with that, some of us felt as though we were not fully prepared for the...

  18. Holy Cross in Ft. Lauderdale

    DeigoT replied to DeigoT's topic in Agency Nurses

    Thank You Sunqueen. Hadn't even thought of the possibility of housing problem. Any comments on the Broward General or Imperial Point? I believe they are from the same system, and suprisingly someone...

  19. Hunter College NYC ANP program

    DeigoT replied to kimaboogie00's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Wow, you are from the Bronx? Small world, so am I. I currently reside in Philly but I still maintain my Bronx residence (1 floor rented). I don't mind you asking questions. That is what I enjoy...

  20. Nursing educators- salaries

    DeigoT replied to ginat113's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I definately agree with VickyRN. And they wonder why there is difficulty recruiting full-time faculty. I have been told by a friend of mine who teaches, that some of the students who graduated from...

    I have been an RN for several years (have a masters in nursing), and will be starting meds school next year. I agree, med school is certainly not for

    DeigoT replied to kimaboogie00's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Congrats on your Hunter acceptance! I graduated from Hunter's primary care adult nurse practitioner program in 2001. Dr. X, who is still the coordinator, is the best. She is very supportive and her...

  25. Nursing educators- salaries

    DeigoT replied to ginat113's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Just wanted to add, that $57/hr did not include the times spent selecting patients (which had to be done the evening before clinicals) or times spent grading care
