UMD vs. Johns Hopkins

[NeuroNP]

Can anyone offer advice between working for UMD vs Johns Hopkins? I will be a new grad with an ADN and I'd like to work in ICU and hopefully go to CRNA school one day. I'm not from MD but I think I'd like to relocate to Baltimore.

Thanks

The VP of Nursing & Patient Care Services at JHH, Karen Haller is a doctor - of nursing.

I work there, and love it - warts and all. I think the money is competitive, and the benefits first rate.

Besides, it's not all about the money.

PM me with questions. I'm not a recruiter and will try to give unvarnished answers.

I've never talked to her but the lady answering the phone at her office (Diane I think?) is awesome! I'm an ISU distance student and have been trying to chase down a contact to arrange clinicals and she pointed me straight to the woman I needed and was like "If you need more help call me back!"! Of course, now getting ahold of the lady she referred me to is becoming a challenge but that's ok, I like challenges and I have til January to get these arrangements made. lol! Any suggestions are welcome though!

So how difficult is it for a new grad to get an ICU job there? Their new grad program seems fabulous!

Hi I don't think it will be too hard. I just got a job down there on one of there hem/onc units and there were all so great so just be persistant and they will call you back

Good luck!
