Yeah, we got an email yesterday oct 8 about doing some pharm and medsurg test by Monday.

Hi! I got it as well. I just completed those tests same day. I am wondering if we just have to pass it or we have to get high scores to be invited for the interview. Do you know how many people do they hire? I hope we get contacted by Tuesday!

Ortho med surge. Did they send you any info about the program? All I know it's starts November 30, orientation will be full time ( 3 12hrs ). That's about ití ¾í´“

I got all the info today from the HR lady because I have a preemployement physical tomorrow, but it has all the info in it about times and orientation

Yep, I got the email as well Are you ordering your uniforms from centraluniforms.com? Is the embroidery optional?

YabaChi · Nov 19, 2015

I actually bought my uniforms from Burlington coat factory and some from the nurse uniform store in philly. This girl who's in her 1st year in the program told me the embroidery is optional so I'm just going to leave my uniform as is until they say something about it. I'm so excited to work as a nurse. Hopefully it's everything I've dreamed it to be. Only thing I'm worried about is the part time aspect, but hopefully we will be able to pick up more hours after our orientation. Somebody said we would be doing orientation full time (36 hrs/week) but I don't know how true that is.
