Hershey / Lancaster / Harrisburg area nursing

Published

Hello all!

My family and I are relocating to the Lancaster/Hershey area at the end of this (2014) school year, and I am wondering if anyone can give me advice or information on working conditions and/or salaries for hospitals within a 30-45 minute drive?

I'm only aware of P.S. Hershey MC, Pinnacle Health, and Lancaster General; are there others that anyone recommends? I currently have my ADN and am attending University of Texas at Arlington's RN-BSN program, if that matters.

Also, any high schools to absolutely avoid?

Thank you for taking the time to respond :up:

Specializes in OR.

Just looking through old posts and came across this one. How was the transition to Central PA? I plan on moving to this area upon completion of my BSN. I am originally from this area and look forward to getting back there. Where did you end up working? I was looking at P.S. Hershey because of their nursing residency program for graduate nurses. I was curious as to what the salary was up there. Where I am currently located, graduate nurses start at $21.05 with some compensation for experience depending on the department you work in (i.e. an LPN with med surg experience, surgical tech with OR experience). Thanks for your help and congratulations!
