What to ask
- How is base pay set for the role, and which differentials apply?
- Which shifts are open, and what are the weekend, holiday and call rules?
- How long is orientation, and will I have one preceptor?
- What does a usual day’s workload look like?
- Where would I work, and on which unit or team?
Living in Philadelphia, PA
At about 3% above the national cost-of-living average, Philadelphia pairs premier medicine with easy urban commutes. Penn and CHOP nurses bike over the South Street Bridge from tree-lined Fitler Square, while Jefferson clinicians walk from Washington Square West. Post-shift life unfolds along the Schuylkill River Trail, around historic brick rowhouses, and inside neighborhood BYOBs.

Make one plan for your day off that you actually want to keep. It helps to have something to look forward to besides being done with work.
At clinical, ask what you can help with instead of waiting in the hallway. Check with your instructor before trying an unfamiliar skill.
