I would ask the recruiter about your current situation. They are very understanding and will speak to the director on your behalf. It is on a case-by-case basis, so I am sure they may make an exception for you.

I was asked:
Tell me about yourself.
Why do you want to work for OR?
And then each manager/director of each location provides a brief description of their location. And at the end, they ask which location are you most interested in (Ch...

Honestly, I think I will because OR is something that I always wanted to do, and as a new grad and even an experienced nurse, it is hard to get into the OR without experience.
Pay does increase after a year, but not sure how much. And the on-...

It depends. For residency, I know we will be doing 8 hours/5 days (40hrs/wk) for some time. Then, eventually most residents will do 12 hour/3 days (36hrs/wk).

I'm sure you will hear back. Each OR location has their timeline of when they choose their candidates. Apparently, there will be 9-10 residents for the OR cohort for August 2022. And from the looks of the sign-up genius that was sent to us...there we...

I interviewed for the Operating Room for the Adult RN Residency program, but I guess they combined it with the Children's Hospital as well. There were 8 interviewers via Zoom through mine. I got an offer today, but like everyone said, I am unsure if ...
Hi everyone, I will be starting Gwynedd's ABSN program for Fall 2019, but I have a couple of questions about the program. Can anyone in the program tell me a little bit about it and how organized the program is? I have been hearing some talk about th...

Hi everyone! My name is Edward, and I currently in the MSN-FNP program, but my case is a little bit different than everyone else’s. Since I just graduated from my ABSN program this past December 2020, I was given the opportunity with ASU to take the ...
Hi, thank you so much for commenting about your experience. I'm sorry your interview didn't go as well as you hoped. It makes me question wanting to apply there. I'm happy though that you were able to find your niche with HUP. It's a great hospital. ...
Hi Shannon! I know you applied a year ago. Are you able to update us on your experience or if you were given the position? I am currently looking into this nurse residency program and would like to know how it is.

No, Biochem is in-class at CCP. You might want to talk to your counselor and ask of online Biochem courses as I am sure she knows of some. Just to let you know! I've created a facebook group, "Gwynedd Mercy ABSN (Bensalem) May 2019", for people atte...

Yeah, my counselor (Sharon Summers) has not informed me of orientation. Also I am taking Biochem (CHEM 118) at Community College of Philadelphia in the Spring.

Hi Ash 121! I will actually be starting May 2019 instead of Fall 2019. At Gwynedd, ABSN students are commuters as they attend lecture at Gwynedd's satellite campuses (Center City Philly or Bensalem). Therefore, students live off campus. In regards to...

Hi! Congrats on getting accepted! I will be starting May 2019 at the Bensalem campus. I still have to take Microbio, A&P 2, and Biochem this Spring 2019. I think the orientation on October 30th is for students that have been accepted for the Janu...
