    for Geisinger Health System employees

    FranEMTnurse replied to newnurse012's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I was offered a job at Geisinger Health System and am not sure if I should accept or not. It would mean a bit of a move for me but that is a move I think I'd be willing to make if it's worth it....
