1. Another Philadelphia thread: RN hiring and degree requirements

   missymis86 replied to anotherone's topic in Pennsylvania

4. Agency Legal Contracts

   Ok great! I think there is some sort of buy out but the hospital wouldn't have to orient me or anything.. So they'd be saving money in that sense. I think they can hire me it's just dependent on the buy out cost. How much are buy outs usually?

   amoLucia do companies often "buy out" a nurse? I'm in a similar situation, I work agency and would like to work for a hospital that I have already been oriented on. Do you know anything about this or who I should talk to first? Agency or hospital? an...

   missymis86 replied to missymis86's topic in Pennsylvania

   You're right. I should've said, they could hire a new RN with nursing (LPN) experience at the new grad rate knowing that they have some nursing background and have succeeded at being a nurse. So not comparing a new grad RN with LPN experience to a se...

10. HUGE RANT Since when does LPN experience not count for ANY kind of nursing experience

    missymis86 replied to missymis86's topic in Pennsylvania

    I completely understand that. It just sucks cause I've worked so hard to finally have my RN (plus moving 3 states while completing it) and now in the area I'm in they're telling me that's not good enough. Don't get me wrong I want my BSN and will get...

    Hey everyone! I'm a new grad RN with past healthcare experience as a CNA and LPN. I would've thought I wouldn't have had a problem getting a call back or interview as a new grad and I haven't gotten one! I recently talked to an HR nursing recruiter (...
