    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!

    I live in Jacksonville. There are a couple hospitals here in the city. I work at Baptist Medical Center which is really 4 different hospitals that are a system (Downtown, South, Beaches, and Nassau.) Its also a Magnet hospital.There is also Shands which is a trauma hospital, St Lukes and St. Vincents (2 hospitals but they have merged.), Memorial and Orange Park. There is also a Naval hospital on base.
    How could you forget Mayo Clinic?! From personal experience, I think this is the best hospital I've ever been in! I was a patient there, so I know first hand Of course, I've never worked there, but I was treated so well and the whole healthcare team seemed like the really cared! I will be trying to get a job there when I finish nursing school.

    My husband is a corpsman at NAS JAX (navy hospital). I hear good and bad things about it, but he seems to like working there for the most part
