Is it still considered arrogance if you really are the best?

I'm going to say no to that......:w00t:

I think you'll find it rare to hear a nurse say something like: "The pay here is really great, and my schedule is too easy." Complaining about pay and schedules is as old at the hats, whites and the lamp.

No, technically it isn't. I don't really have a beef with the fact that they are the best. My beef is with that air of 'oh, it is a privilege to work here'. Now if it isn't like that anymore, well - that's cool. Like I said, I did have a truly great clinical experience there. I am doing critical care now and I would be lying through my teeth if I said that I wasn't the slightest bit interested in the beautiful critical care tower they are building.

You didn't say anything about the parking situation. Do you mind me asking where you park around there and how much you spend per week? We were only at the clinical site for 6-7 hours per day and it was $10/day to park in the garage. :bluecry1:

I just want to say that I am not trying to be flip with you at all, Pete. I am interested in what you have to say about JHH and there were a few things that have put me off of it in the past. Debunk what I am saying all you want. One day you may have me as a co-worker. :cheers:

I really don't think the "priviledge" thing still exists throughout the institution. Like I said, it once was the norm, but it was found to be destructive. Some of that might still live in individual units. Hopkins is like a big city with lots of small neighborhoods - each unit has its own feel and personality.

Parking for nurses is, I think, about $60 a month. [Nurses get parking at half the price of the rest of the staff - please don't remind them.] Parking is taken out pretax, so it works out to less than that. Parking in Baltimore, I'm told, runs about $100 - $150 a month, so, in those terms, it's a pretty good deal.

The new critical care towers are, in fact, the largest hospital construction project currently ongoing in the US. They'll have a shared base, which will include the new main entrance, OR's, and vastly expanded adult and pediatric ED's. As they split, one will be the new Womens and Children's Center (with a 40-bed PICU), the other will be the ICU's. It will vastly change the hospital for the better, like I said before, the physical plant needs work.

Here some more on that:

Hello,

I am a nursing student who will be graduating in 4 months and I have an interview with JHH in March, I was wondering if you could give me any sort of tips- I am a little anxious because I have heard different things. Can anyone explain to me what the "share time" means and how long it is? I am coming from out of state and I didn't get a time on how long that would be- b/c I need to schedule my flight. Also after you interview, what are the chances that you will get the job? lol I mean b/c JHH is one of the top in country. If anyone could give me any sort of insight, I would greatly appreciate it!

I recently graduated from nursing school in Dec and will be taking boards at the end of this month. My husband has a strong possibility of getting an assignment to Fort Meade (May time frame). I am very interested in working for JH and any information about this facility would be greatly appreciated. Are there any other facilities that anyone would recommend in the Baltimore area (competitive salary, benefits etc.)?? Also, what is the starting salary for a new grad in the Baltimore area?? Thanks!!
