Temple's New to Practice Program

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!

    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)

    I'm hoping for maternity/newborn nursery. Did you email the HR recruiter about where you were placed?

    Yeah just to be sure. I wanted to give a solid "YES" but wouldn't until I knew I wasn't in maternity haha

    Haha, well congratulations on being placed in your top choice!

    Yeah, I think you have a really good shot at being placed where you want. From the people I have heard from in this group most people did.

    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

    They seem to only hire out of their new to practice program.

    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.
