Could anyone give me some insight on working for Aetna? Im interested in pay, job satisfaction, flexibility, a day on the job, etc. I'm interested in jobs like Case management, Utilization Review nurse or any Registered Nursing positions. Thanks so ...

Hey everyone! I am a brand new RN (in a new area) with 3 years of LPN experience and 3 years prior CNA experience. I am needing some advice for a stand out resume to highlight that I am not new to healthcare or nursing but just new to being an RN. C...

It's pretty bad even for BSN.. I had my LPN for 4 years prior to getting my RN and I thought that would help.. It didn't at ALL in this market. I would suggest applying everywhere but at nursing homes for sure. You make great money - I make about 35...

Okay, I've gotta vent. I've recently graduated from RN school, taken my boards and I'm officially an RN. Before completeing my RN I was an LPN for over 3 years. I've also recently moved from Nashville to Philadelphia. All that taken into considerati...

Hey Attuma0000 I tried to send you a private message and it said your inbox is full and can't receive messages at this time?

Ok great! I think there is some sort of buy out but the hospital wouldn't have to orient me or anything.. So they'd be saving money in that sense. I think they can hire me it's just dependent on the buy out cost. How much are buy outs usually?

amoLucia do companies often "buy out" a nurse? I'm in a similar situation, I work agency and would like to work for a hospital that I have already been oriented on. Do you know anything about this or who I should talk to first? Agency or hospital? an...

thank you!!

You're right. I should've said, they could hire a new RN with nursing (LPN) experience at the new grad rate knowing that they have some nursing background and have succeeded at being a nurse. So not comparing a new grad RN with LPN experience to a se...

Does anyone know if Reading or Allentown areas are more promising? I'm definitely ok with driving an hour for a hospital job and experience.

Hey kiszi, A lot of the online apps given an area where you can type experiences and qualifications so I've been trying to write a short to the point paragraph about how I've already had experience with time management and prioritizing care etc.. I a...

I completely understand that. It just sucks cause I've worked so hard to finally have my RN (plus moving 3 states while completing it) and now in the area I'm in they're telling me that's not good enough. Don't get me wrong I want my BSN and will get...

My husband got a fantastic job up here. We may move back south if things don't start looking better. It's always who you know, even in not so saturated market. that is why I networked with as many people as I could via Facebook, people my husband wo...

This is a long shot but I was writing to inquire about RN jobs at Main line health. On the job postings it says, diploma, associate or bsn degrees. Bsn preferred. Does anyon have any info formation about what I should do to get a job here? I have my...

Hey everyone! I'm a new grad RN with past healthcare experience as a CNA and LPN. I would've thought I wouldn't have had a problem getting a call back or interview as a new grad and I haven't gotten one! I recently talked to an HR nursing recruiter (...

Hahaha. Thats great. Has anyone gone to the hospital and asked to speak to the nurse recruiter or manager? I cannot find anyones email! Not sure if going to the hospital would be to forward... Being new to the area (outer Philly suburbs) many people...

Thanks!! This is great advice. This may be a dumb question but how do you find the names of the nurse recruiters and the particular manager for the floor? Did you go to the hospitals? Everything is so generic now being computerized I can see how this...

I also have no advice but would love to hear any that anyone has!! I'm also in the Philly area with an ADN. ECf1972 have you applied for just hospital jobs? I hope someone can respond to your questions, cause I'm interested in responds to these as we...

No, I live in Lansdale Pennsylvania right outside of Philadelphia, I'm interested in this area. I'm not sure what you mean. I'm only applying for jobs in this area. I need advice on how to network in a brand new area and help/advice on highlighting m...

Also does anyone know of any good hospitals that hire adn? Thanks!

Hey everyone! I'm a newly graduated RN (adn) who has just moved to Lansdale PA. If anyone could point me in the right direction to good hospitals in this area that will hire adn's and maybe some pay information I'd appreciate it so much. I have heal...
