More about Healthcare Nursing and Rehab

Groceries and rent run a little high — the cost of living is 102.6, about 3% above the national price level. What we cannot tell you yet is the rate, the unit, or how the schedule is built. There is no usable pay in our postings and nothing stated on the open web. Union status, the charting system, float rules, and any residency or tuition help are also blank. If you want a comparison set, nearby names include Thomas Jefferson University and Hospitals, Penn Medicine, Roxborough Memorial Hospital, Jefferson Health, Epic Healthcare, and Olde Main Post Acute. Some hospital staff talk about Fairmount, Francisville, and Spring Garden as close-in places to live; at least one South Jersey commuter would rather not live in the city at all. You will have to ask this employer the questions the file does not answer.
