Specializes in Vents, Telemetry, Home Care, Home infusion.

TCU = transitional care units, a hospital based short term nursing home --patients usually only stay on unit 1-3 weeks.

Telemetry unit is for cardiac monitoring. Very fast paced unit with patients staying on unit 24 hrs to few days so rapid turnover patients.

Both are good learning environments for school!

Hi Cindy,

I have applied over and over again at Holy Redeemer and couldnt get in.:crying2: I even know a nurse and cna that work there and couldnt get me in, but I did apply at Frankford- Torresdale Hospital on Knights Road, 19114 and got hired in 2 days after applying. I work on an Ortho/Trauma Unit. It is a Nice hospital and great benefits for full time employees. Sorry to tell you but, they may not be hiring......they plan on laying off 400 people. I dont think it would be immediate caregivers, but who knows. The economy is crap, so Good Luck. Just keep applying until you cant anymore, thats what i did, and im so happy i got out of a nursing home, it was too overwhelming for me.:eek:

thanks Amy! i actually did get a call back from them but couldn't work the hours because of college! :(

but now my schedule is much more flexible! I wish they would give me a call back now. But I did check the website and see that they arent hiring anymore. Yes the economy is crap!!! Hope things look up soon. :D
