My cousin's girlfriend is a dietician there. She has been there a little while and seems to like it. I also know a few girls that work there and they seem to like it too. I think when it first opened everyone wanted to work there, but the newness has worn off. I work at SMH and we get patients from there sometimes and they haven't always said good things. I applied at SS and never heard back but another girl I worked with got a PRN position there. Maybe you should consider SMH.

I work at North Oaks and wanted to work at Slidell, but when I graduated they had a hiring freeze. I did clinicals there for post partum/nursery and liked it alot. I live out in Slidell and the drive to Hammond is kinda getting old, ya know. Has Slidell gone to computerized charting by any chance? That is one of the things that I dislike about my job is that not only do we have narrative charting, but flowsheets, skin sheets, patient needs list, etc. They are planning on adding some more...I feel it to be redundant and I am over it...Thanks for the input.

I worked at EJ and live in Pearl River. After I had a baby 4 months ago i decided that i just couldn't drive anymore even though I made more over there than over here so I applied to SMH. I got a PRN position on rehab, not my first choice but they called and I make 6 dollars more an hour than I did at EJ. I work nights and love it! I am pretty sure that there are some positions open. Maybe you should call HR and ask them about it. I have only been a nurse for a year and I found it difficult to find a job even with a year of experience. As far as charting is concerned, we have paper charting--flow sheet with narrative, but we're going to computer charting either in september or october. I went to a class for it and it seems easy.

I'm melissa by the way, it seems so weird talking to someone and not knowing their name! :nurse:
