Looking For Other Pa Nurses!!!!

[Pete495]

Hello all,

I'm taking this chance to meet other nurses in PA. Who knows, maybe I've meant some of you. I graduated a year ago, and meant a lot of other nursing students in clinicals, and such.

Anyway, if you're interested in joining this discussion to meet others in PA who are recent grads., leave some comments.

Anyway, I'm wondering what kinds of hours everyone else is working, where people are working, what kinds of skills you're all learning, and your current job satisfaction, etc. Right now, I work quite a number of hours in a cardiovascular surgical unit. It's pretty good experience. Sometimes I find I get taken advantage of to work a lot of hours, but most times I don't mind, cuz I get a lot of good experience. I may move on to CRNA school someday. Any body else have grad. school aspriations?

Anyway, if you're a recent grad. or from PA, join the discussion, and let people know what's out there for new grads.

Thanks,

Repete495

Hi everyone! I'm a PSU nursing student and I'll be graduating in May. Looking for jobs in the State College area. I applied at Mount Nittany Medical Center and Rockview Prison. Any other suggestions?

If you are interested, the Meadows Psychiatric Center, (there are good benefits there) Your options as a BSN graduate are limited in State College, but maybe the State College Area High School, or the Boalsburg Middle School, or even the health center on the PSU campus. Doesn't hurt to try.

I have a round about idea where State College is - I believe its toward the middle of the state, am I correct?

Yes, you are. Beautiful scenery and friendly people live here.

Mount Nittany Medical Center located just below the Penn State Campus in State College is now an independent healthcare facility and is staffed with Hospitalists, many of the nurses now have a BSN, and the staffing is large. My personal care giver is a nursing assistant who also works full time at MNMC. She is a fantastic NA.
