experienced TELE nurse relocating to philly

U.S.A. Pennsylvania

Published

I have 4 years telemetry/intermediate care experience. and an amazing bf who wants to move across the country ( we live in seattle) I love my job now and especially my coworkers. Can anyone recommend a hospital or two who treat their nurses with respect, and average nurse-patient ratios, etc. Or give me places to avoid and why. :) basically anything about being a nurse in Philadelphia would be appreciated. the move isn't for months, so I'm sure I'll have more specific questions coming soon! thanks

Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP) is an amazing place to work. DH has a PT job there as an ER tech and even PT he has great benefits (health insurance would be expensive for him, but he'll qualify for their pension after 5 years, gets tuition prepaid, etc). It's a magnet hospital, and when I spoke to HR when looking at nursing schools they said they only hire BSNs. I'm not sure if they'd make an exception for experience tho.

I wouldn't mind inner city or suburb, I really want a good nursing community where nurses are valued. I enjoy working, but right now the strongest point about my job is my coworkers! work is work, you know HARD WORK, but I love the people I work with and that makes the difference. I enjoy the teaching hospital, but would certainly be open to private or community hospitals. BUT i don't wanna go to the hospital where patients are allowed to do drugs in their rooms, lots of psych patients, people who abuse the hospital, I don't really want to work FOR that population. . .
