Temple's New to Practice Program

[KotysMom]

Hi. I applied for Temple's New to Practice Program a few weeks ago and just received word that my initial application was accepted. In the FAQ's, it says that applicants will have to take competency exams after they are selected. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this program and if these competencies are just basically things we learned in nursing school.

Also, if anyone has completed this program, how is it? Temple is one of my dream hospitals to work for so I'm very excited and curious about this program.

Thanks so much!

I wish they would have let the people who they didn't want know early. This waiting is driving me crazy.

For the people who have heard back, when is your start date? I was told some are starting in June and others August

[dstmoon]

Should I assume at this point that I don't have the job?

[angelnurse2008]

Don't assume you didn't get the job! They may take a little while to filter through everyone and want to get everyone who is hired for june/july squared away before they start the August cohort. They were giving people answers up to one week before the August cohort started last year! I know it is so nerve-wracking but hang tight..!

Where did you guys apply? I feel like I have been stalking them since they came to our last career fair and I haven't seen the posting for the new to practice program online. I don't know how I could have missed it.

Sorry it took so long. I can't always get in to reply for some reason. Try their website or indeed.com. It is tough.

If Possible stop by their Human Resource office and ask about the program or give them your email so they can email you information about the program .

Does anyone know when this is starting up again? I spoke to HR in October and she said they would do another round in the new year (2014).
