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.
Yeah I was really nervous and emailed her once I was offered at another hospital. But Temple has been where I have wanted to be since leaving with my first degree from there. Good Luck?!? Which unit are you hoping to be on? ((I have a friend in Trauma Ortho and another in MRICU)
Can anyone confirm if **********was your contact there? Thanks again for all of your help everyone. Trying to get my name out there for the next round. :)
*******per site ToS do NOT post names of facility personnel *****
Does temple not hire new grads to any of their other positions? I'm hoping to not waste my time applying to all these other positions if i don't qualify as a new grad. Thanks
Does anyone work in any of Temple's med surg units? If so what are the nurse to patient ratios? Is there an EMR, in house coverage at nights? Are there aides and lpns or is it primary nursing? Any info would be helpful. Does anyone know the pay rate for newer nurses (2 years experience)? I am considering relocating to PHilly and saw a couple of different med surg jobs posted at Temple's website.
