  1. Hi all, Looking for some insight on Penn Medicine, specifically Pennsylvania Hospital...and even more specifically Labor and Delivery. But am interested in hearing about the organization in general or L&D experience at HUP. Does anyone work th...
  2. Mother baby RNC

    Thanks, I'll look into this book. I've been doing Mom-Baby nursing for almost 5 years, so hopefully I don't need another 2 years of prep work! lol
  3. Mother baby RNC

    How long did you prepare for the test for in terms of formal studying? Did you buy a book? The test is expensive but I'd like to be certified.
  4. What's a fair salary for a NEW RN GRAD?

    I'd say normal is around $27/hour + any differentials. I believe in NJ some places pay more than that, upwards of $30. I have been hired at a hospital in Philadelphia and the pay is higher than I was told at the few other hospitals I applied at. I...
  5. Choices

    Congrats on the offer but definitely take the interview (you may have already gone by now)!
  6. You certainly will not be able to do a traditional summer externship, but you can still get hired as an "extern" at Jefferson, for example, during other times of the year. You just need to have had your Med-Surge Clinical, which you will do over the ...

  8. Need info on jefferson fact!

    I don't know the exact date for the 2013 cohort. I started May 2011 and graduated May 2012. We started May 16, 2011, so expect it to be some time around then.
  9. Appropriate to request start date?

    Thanks to all for advice. I had to give the employer a decision and I had not heard back from the other one. I decided to check on online status at the other employer and the position now said "filled." It was a but of a huge blow, and I am a litt...
  10. Appropriate to request start date?

    Thank you. And I hear what you are saying but if this other job does not decide in time, which at this point I guess they won't, then I really do not see how I can turn down this job. BUT the disorganization feels like I can at least have the right...
  11. Would love to hear about any updates. Anyone interview? Anyone get offered a job?
  12. Appropriate to request start date?

    I got a verbal offer over the phone. HR lady did not tell me about benefits, so I emailed her today asking for some info. Have not hard back from her yet. I asked for time until Tomorrow to make a decision. I did interview for that other job and. ...
  13. Yup, from 30th st station I believe.
  14. Have either of you tried Lancaster? They have a great hospital and you can even take a train there....
  15. NJ Board of Nursing - What the Heck?

    Go to "Consumer Information," then "Know Your Board." I fiddled around with some email addresses...like doh.nj.gov, for example.
