Relocating to Maryland

[hellooonurse]

My husband and I would like to move to Maryland. We're doing all of our research and we're also planning a trip to check out different areas. Can someone help me with finding the best area? By the time we move I will be an RN and my husband is a English teacher. I heard that John Hopkins pays very well but its in Baltimore and the area is not safe. I have two small children and safety is very important. Where can I live and make a decent commute to JH or are there better hospitals that can be recommended. I need city and county names as well. Thanks for the help. :)

Penninsula General Hospital is located on the Eastern Shore of the state. This is approximately 2 1/2 hours from Baltimore. The communities nearby that hospital are Salisbury, Berlin, and Ocean Pines. Ocean Pines is the nicest, but further away ( around 30 minutes). The big benefit is you're really close to the shore, and can enjoy the summers (just the traffic sucks during the summer).

I believe the going rate is around $27-29/hour, maybe more with experience. I don't know much about the working environment, as I lived in Baltimore. My grandfather had his chemo there, once a month, for several months, and I would go with him. The staff were wonderful to him. They didn't seem overly stressed, and had plenty of time to spend with him. My grandmother, aunt, and uncle still live there, and they rave about this hospital. The only other hospital even close, is Atlantic General. They only have a handful of beds, as it's usually a stop-over to another hospital. This one is much less busy in the winter, but; very hectic in the summer. I have a friend who just went to work in their OR, and so far, she loves it. Atlantic General is located in Berlin, which is about 20 minutes from Salisbury, where Penninsula General is. So sorry I can't provide you with more details. Best of luck to you. Maryland is a beautiful state, and there's lots to see and do, especially for families. I really miss it, as I recently relocated to Las Vegas. I won't miss the snow, tho! LOL!! Make sure you try the steamed crabs!
