I think its more because of her specialty. She is a NICU/L&D nurse, and at least at Baptist someone has to die before there is an opening in that unit. :uhoh3:

ooh wow, didn't notice that. I know Orange Park had an L&D position available a lil while back. But it was nights. I'll keep my eyes on the look out!

Did you get the job at Shands? Shands is my first choice for a job (then Wolfsons and Baptist South. I have lots of OB/NICU experience and some telemetry. So I have applied for 15 positions in NICU, MB, and some other areas like pre admission testing, special procedures, endo etc... I am willing to try something new. Outside of the hospital, I would love a position at North Florida OBGYN.

Maybe I should have someone look at my resume. This is the first one I have had to make in 16 yrs. Maybe it isnt up to par.

If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

You can pm me your resume, I can look over and make adjustments as needed. I just helped hire a coworker, and I was the one looking through the resumes so I have a bit of insight as to what people look at. I got rid of so many because their front was ugly. :uhoh3:

St Vincents was hiring not too long ago as well. They have a nice L&D unit. I know it isn't in your choices but it might be worth a look.

hi misswhitney,

Are you the same misswhitney that used to work at Publix, then worked at Specialty, and you are now at Shands? You moved up fast. I'm not a stalker not at all. I just like reading people's post from their nursing days to the employment world. And I see FLMom is working now too. I hope to be a nurse one day if I can find financial assistance. I'll keep plugging away until that day comes.

Haha, yes that's me! You sure you aren't stalking me? You sure do know a lot about me! Can you believe I am a charge nurse now? I feel like I was just a student! I used Worksource and was fresh out of high school so I had Bright Future's as well. FSCJ gave me a bunch of grants/scholarships throughout the nursing program. There is always a way! Keep me updated on how you do!
