UMMC Shock Trauma

Hi Everyone!

I am thinking of moving from Chicago to work at UMMC Shock Trauma. I currently work on a step-down neurosurgical floor and I need a change. I worked in a Level 1 Trauma ICU as a nurse aide while I was in nursing school and I MISS IT SO MUCH!! I have never lived in Baltimore or know anyone who lives there, but I love trauma and think it would be a great learning experience if I can get a job there. Any feedback from people who work there now would be greatly appreciated! Also, I keep hearing how unsafe Baltimore is....is it really that bad? I just ask because I am a single 24 year old female... Thanks everyone!

    Tough to get to UMMC Shock trauma right away it sounds like you are/will be a recent grad too. If that's the case get some exp in critical care areas that hire new grads such as the Intermediate care unit or ICU. Its tough to break into areas like ED w/o exp. especially with the recession.

    If you've already got the offer- good for you! congrat's! Baltimore isn't terrible. You live in Chicago currently? not much different. You just have to go through the process of learning where to be when - and where not to be :) Baltimore can be a really fun, safe place for young adults and has lots of stuff to do. Close to DC, Philly and NY. You can drive to the ocean.

    Enjoy!

    Two of my graduating class from 2008 got into UMMC Trauma as new grads. You can do it!
