1. NSLFP Nursing Loan Forgiveness?

   TPA_CW_Shelley posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hello, Has anyone received the NSLFP Nursing Loan Forgiveness? I applied over a month ago and was wondering how long it takes to hear back from them. I'm also curious to hear about your experience with them, and (if it's not too personal to ask) how ...

2. Nurse Residency Programs

   TPA_CW_Shelley replied to Leah236's topic in New Nurse

   All Children's in St Pete is already full and apparently they only do the residency once a year. I can tell you, the Tampa Bay area sucks for new grads right now. There isn't a job in sight. I have a friend in Ft Myers (@ Lee Memorial) who says the...

3. All Children's RN Residency

   Yeah, I had more money when I was living off of my student loans!

4. New grad jobs? Tampa-St Pete area

   TPA_CW_Shelley replied to TPA_CW_Shelley's topic in Florida

   I have been pretty much everywhere in Tampa, St Pete and Clearwater and haven't found a hospital job yet! I'm at a loss right now too. Mental health facilities might be your best bet. You could look into Operation PAR, a detox center in Clearwater. ...

5. All Children's RN Residency

   TPA_CW_Shelley replied to gilbert727's topic in Florida

   They only had 10 slots after their own were placed and they had a ton of applications.

6. New grad jobs? Tampa-St Pete area

   TPA_CW_Shelley replied to TPA_CW_Shelley's topic in Florida

   It's tough out there right now! Just a warning though... I worked for an HCA hospital before, and I wouldn't do it again. They are a nightmare and a liability to your license. I have seen way too much to consider working for them under any circumstan...

7. New grad jobs? Tampa-St Pete area

   TPA_CW_Shelley posted a topic in Florida

   I just graduated in December with my ADN and have my LPN (no experience though, went straight back to school for RN). I can't find a job! Does anyone know of a hospital that takes new grads, or nurses without any experience? I need help! Thanks for a...

8. Tampa VA Hospital- New Grad Internship

   TPA_CW_Shelley replied to honeydue's topic in New Nurse

   Sounds great! How long is the orientation? What is the internship all about? I'm bummed I missed it. No luck with jobs yet. This is NOT good. My landlord wasn't paying his mortgage so we got a letter saying the house was going to be auctioned, so ...

   Hey Honeydue, How's it going at the VA? Do you like it?

10. Cover Letters, Resumes, and Online Applications

    TPA_CW_Shelley replied to MissCharlieRN's topic in New Nurse

    I have friends in HR who promptly throw away any resume sent without a cover letter. It shows them that you're not interested enough in the position. The cover letter is where you're going to talk about any experience you have that your resume doesn...

11. Think i failed with 258 :(

    TPA_CW_Shelley replied to Megan Laura's topic in NCLEX

    I have no idea how often they post... In Florida, it didn't take a week. I checked using the license verification a day or 2 after for my LPN and it was there. Keep checking! Good luck, I know you must be going crazy waiting! I dread this after I ta...

    You're in PA? Try doing a license verification with the BOH. http://www.licensepa.state.pa.us/Search.aspx

14. Pay setting questions.... whats our worth?

    TPA_CW_Shelley replied to TPA_CW_Shelley's topic in New Nurse

    HUH. Well that sucks! Good points though. Thanks everyone!

15. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    TPA_CW_Shelley replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX

    In Florida (and I would assume pretty much everywhere) you can just go to the board of nursing website and do a 'provider' search. I found out the next day when I took my PN boards.
