Allentown/Bethlehem

welcome to the lehigh valley!

there are LOTS of different hospitals/medical offices/nursing homes in the area, all within 20 to 30 minutes of driving.

And many of them have several locations all through out. There is St. Lukes, Scared Heart, Lehigh Valley Health Network, Easton Hospital as the major hospitals.

Good shepard, old orchard, manor care, country meadows, etc as some of the major rehab/nursing homes.

Any quick google search will give you some idea of the major places.

As far as working conditions, I don't know. The only thing I know that Easton Hospital use to be pretty bad but is slowly getting better....

Anyways, just wanted to say welcome :)

Did you end up getting a job in the Allentown area??

I am in the process of interviewing for the graduate nurse residency at lehigh valley, but no nothing officially yet!

Good luck!!! I got the position. Hopefully I'll see ya! :-)

thats awesome! what unit?? and how long after the second interview did you find out??

PCCU. I found out that day but it was by coincidence. Usually they say a few days.

okay thank you! my second interview is tomorrow so hopefully it goes well!

Good luck! I sent you a private message.

How did you apply to the new graduate residency program? I keep looking at the Lehigh Valley Health Network website and they don't have any new grad positions posted.

The new graduate position was up earlier in the summer. It comes up, and then disappears. It may or may not come up again.

They only open the application at certain times... I'm not exactly sure when those times are I was just lucky to catch the application open

Hey! Just wondering if you can give any tips advice for the interview for the graduate program? I know its 3 hours long and just want to be as prepared as possible! Thanks so much in advance!!
