Penn State Residency: Hershey Medical Center 2015

U.S.A. Pennsylvania

Published

Hey Everyone,

I don't see a thread for 2015 yet, so I thought I'd start one. I'm just beginning the application process, and the clinical narrative is killing me. I precepted in trauma at a trauma center, so it was get them in, get them out: usually to a rehab. I can't think of how I might have changed their lives or had a big impact. I was able to attain great skills and do frequent assessments: neuro, neurovascular, cardio, telemetry strips, etc. and do and see some great stuff, I wish I could write about that!

I'd like to hear from anyone applying now or who applied in the past. Any pointers?

So I completed the application and everything that has been requested. I'm hoping to receive an email confirming everything is in order. kaycatherine, how will you do licensure for Pennsylvania? I think I will get my Texas license and then apply for endorsement since Pennsylvania isn't part of the Nursing Compact with NCSBN.

A friend of mine applied and took a week only to get PA license. I am thinking to get NY license first and transfer to there.

Nice, but before I even start that process, I want to have a little better understanding of where I will be when I can be licensed.

Has anyone else's Checkster report not been closed out from the employer?

That's what their website says.

My name is Christian. I have also applied for the feb 2015 cohort! I am originally from Houston, Tx but going to school out west! I will be graduating with my ADN in December but I've also been working on my BSN.. Figured I'd join the conversation and keep up with any updates!
