  1. anyone else having low unit census?

    No, my hospital has been full to the capacity for the last few weeks, I mean every bed in a 1000 bed hospital is full and the ED is still extremely overcrowded. We are a level 1 Trauma teaching hospital so we get people from all over so maybe that's ...
  2. RN salaries In Tampa, FL??

    Yes, the starting salary for a new grad is $21.50. I work at a large teaching hospital in Tampa and that's the starting pay. Hope this helps :-). BTW, my mom works in California and was pretty sure she would be able to get me a job after I grad nursi...
  3. Relocating from florida to new york!!

    Hey, I'm from Tampa...where do you work currently? I know if at least one person (even though he is a new grad) who had to move to Tampa because there was no work in NY/NYC. He said all the hospitals had hiring freezes. Good to see that there's a fel...
  4. Any New Grads Working in the ICU or ED???

    I got a job at a large teaching hospital in Florida. This hospital has an amazing CC program. What I did was I started applying for jobs in March even though I was graduating in mid-June. I also worked in a CCU (NOT at the same hospital) for 2 years ...
  5. Pay Scale

    New Grad, hired into a critical care rotation program at a level 1 trauma hospital that does heart and lung transplants in Tampa, FL, pay starts at 21.50/hour. We do get diff for nights (19%) and weekends (5%) but I'm on days so I don't really benefi...

    Congrats to you!! I start my Critical Care Rotation Program in less than a month, I am super stocked to say the least.
  7. New grads how did you land a job?

    I started applying before I graduated and kept my options open. I figured the early bird catches the worm and I did. I haven't taken my nclex yet because my school just sent the paper work last week, but my job is hiring me on as a GN so they underst...

  10. NIce neighborhoods downtown Austin

    Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone could direct me to a nice neighborhood close to downtown Austin? Im ok with a 20min commute so that's my distance requirements, I guess. I may be accepting a position at a local facility in the downtown area and...
  11. What do you like about CVICU/CCU?

    Im not a nurse yet (6 more months, yay), but I work as a tech on a CICU (really called the "Dump unit") so we get a bit of everything and I gotta tell you there are definitely ups and downs to this unit. The unit is very exciting, always something in...
  12. Well the local nursing schools have FINALLY DONE IT

    I think what the problem is, is that with the economy being the way it is now, the older nurses that were set to retire or did retire, stayed or went back into the workforce. So, the expected nursing shortage was really dependent on that. The main pr...
  13. Florida Hospital in Orlando

    Yes, that sounds right. I am not a nurse yet (in last year of nursing school), but I work in Florida Hospital Orlando campus as a tech and that is the going rate for new grads in our hospital. So, there it is. Cost of living has gotten a little high ...
  14. Sumner in CO... denied accreditation

    Well that sucks, good thing I have at least 2 years to go, maybe then they will get there act together. I wonder what the reason was. I thought it might be hard to have all of the clinicals off-site and still get approval...not saying that's what it ...
