Welcome to the New Jersey Area!
I worked for many years at Lourdes in Camden. If that is where you are than you will love it. I left a few years ago to pursue school nursing but i still have a warm place in my heart for my former employer.

TraumaNurse,
I pm'd you a little while back, did you get it? I think I see an answer to one of my questions... If you read my pm you will see that I am very curious. We are moving to central Jersey in spring or summer.

Anyone working in Central Jersey in ICU at a hospital that you are proud to work at? Let me know because I am doing my research prior to our move come this spring! My experience has been mainly cardiac but have done numerous acute areas.
Thanks!

Hello, I was looking through this forum to find words of wisdom and I saw that you worked at Lourdes. I am looking into working there on a med-surg floor. I'm undecided between there or HUP. I know they are both very different. They both have pros/cons. I don't know which would be better. I'm thinking futher down the line in my career and that HUP would be a "better" experience, the patients are more acute- chest tubes, trachs. Wheras this is not so on the unit at Lourdes. Which is a good and a bad thing- good because I won't have to deal with it, bad because I won't get exposure to it. Anything you can tell me about Lourdes would be greatly appreciated!!!

Well i worked there about 5 years ago.I was there for 10 years working as an LPN and also an RN. My RN experience was in NICU. My LPN experience was on Med Surg, Mental Health, and NBN. I worked on primarily an onocology floor but it also had a mix of ortho and diabetes. I loved it and learned also learned alot. I hae to agree HUP would probably show you more acute as you discribed although Lourdes really is cutting edge in some areas they are really moving ahead in the transplant area and getting ready to open a brand new critical care wing. So i would imagine they have alot of great experiences too. Im kinda out of the loop now that i have been gone for 5 years. I still miss it from time to time. Im just spoiled now with no weekends and no holidays so every time i think of returning to hospital nursing i stop. Let me know what you decide. Best of luck in your search.
