Positions at Hershey are getting harder to come by, their vacancy rate has been going down and there aren't as many positions open as a few years ago. It is a nice place to work with good benefits all around, especially pay and retirement compared to other central PA hospitals. It is also union. Peds at Hershey has a reputation as a good unit to work on and I know several of the nurses on that unit that say good things. I'm not as familiar with NICU though...

I have accepted a job in Hershey Medical Center as a GN.

When you arrive on your interview they will give you a package of all information you need. If you get a job offer, they will mail you your salary.

It is a really nice place, and I have heard that the orientation for GN is really useful!!! YOu will like it!!!

No, I hadn't heard that. It would be wonderful though because I would like to go on to get my CRNA and that would be fairly close for me. What did you hear?

I haven't heard about a CRNA school at Hershey but I know that there was talk of offering a pretty nice package to Hershey nurses that want to go back to school and become a CRNA (time off, paid tuition, etc.)...a lot of HMC nurses are interested so it may be hard to get in. Try calling the Hershey nurse recruiter, she would have the latest info.

Hey PSUHMC has some nice stuff going on. I look at Hershey and Lancaster General - Both very nice places. Hershey edged out though - the big things were:

They are putting $800 million into the hospital over the next 10 years

They offer tuition remission at PSU (75% off!)

That's for your whole family!

Benefits start day 1

They have loan forgiveness ($5K X 3 years)

almost 20 vac days to start

2 retirement plans

and much more

they also offer a "reimbursement" for your final yr of nursing school up to $15000 for tuition, uniforms, rent, books, etc. you just to make sure you save your statements and whatnot.

Thre is a fairly new CRNA school sponsored by York College/York Hospital. Didn't hear about the Hershey program. I'd love to see a generic BSN at Hershey . It would be great for the area w/ some great clinical experience.
