  1. Pregnant and miserable working

    What did you say to your doctor to convince him/her to place you on disability? I'm 35 weeks pregnant and don't think I can go on anymore. I work in a busy pediatric oncology floor and have anemia/ gestational diabetes.
  2. Is it possible to get a job at CHOP?

    One of the nurses I work with at CHOP has her associates, and they hired her. She is a great nurse. She is working on her BSN though and has previous pediatric experience for 1.5 years; so I don't know if they put that into consideration.
  3. I used to work onco before I relocated to Philly since there were no onco positions then. We had pregnant women on our floor when I used to work onco. We assigned them patients that were safe for them while they were pregnant. Onco nurses get pregnan...
  4. I am interviewing to transfer internally for a per diem Oncology position. I am currently 11 weeks pregnant. Should I tell the nurse manager I am pregnant? I know they can't discriminate but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. My plan was to not men...
  5. Is it possible to get a job at CHOP?

    Yes. I have heard that it could sometimes take months (from time you apply to get the job) before you are actually hired at the hospital. Getting a shadow day is great news! You should probably here back in 1- 2 weeks after your shadow day. I would a...
  6. I need help...keep forgetting to waste narcs

    I always waste my narcs immediately with the nurse who witnessed me. It only takes a few seconds to a minute. That way you don't have to think about it at the end of shift when you are finishing up, checking on your patients and getting whatever need...
  7. Thank you for your advice and encouragement. A paycheck really isn't my priority. Making a difference, and loving my job is what matters to me. I am a childhood cancer survivor, and I have learned that living is more valuable than money. If you have...
  8. The job is posted for the same hospital I got hired at. I applied for the job I accepted, interviewed and got the job in 2 days. Then, their site notified me of the hematology-onco outpatient position because that was listed as my main interest: onco...
  9. Thank you for your thoughts.
  10. Thank you for your advice!
  11. Before nursing school, I knew I wanted to work with Oncology Peds patients. As a GN, my first job was at a Children's Hospital where I worked in a mixed Med-surg and Hematology- Oncology Peds patients. I worked there for a little over a year. I got m...
  12. Is it possible to get a job at CHOP?

    I finally got an interview with the Oncology floor! I absolutely loved the Oncology unit! I really hope I hear back from them with positive news! :) The nurse educator I worked with loves CHOP Oncology floor and actually knows who I interviewed with!...
  13. Is it possible to get a job at CHOP?

    Thank you jmed07RN so much for replying. I have already called them twice so far. The first recruiter I talked to said that she would pass my resume and profile to the nurse manager. The second one I talked to said that it takes 3 weeks for them to l...
