  1. Insight, please, on pros/cons of VA position

    Hello! Thank you so much for your response--it is greatly appreciated! I suppose I didn't go into as much depth as I should have....I have been working in the ER for two years now as an RN. I initially worked trauma, so along with my BLS/ACLS, I al...
  2. Good afternoon, all! I would genuinely appreciate some insight from other nurses who have worked, or currently work, for the VA Health system. I was given a conditional offer for an ER position out in Kansas City, MO, and I am enthralled with the op...
  3. Evening! My husband is PCS'ing to Fort Campbell, KY in November, and the kids and I are heading out to the TN side next weekend to get everything set up for his homecoming. I am having a difficult time getting callbacks for interviews and am a littl...
  4. Anyone work at Allchildren's Hospital in St. Pete?

    I agree. I am really disappointed. I would have been okay if I wasn't accepted, but it's the exasperation and anxiety of waiting for almost 7 weeks that is irritating. It gave me a false sense of hope, perhaps? Either way, I am incredibly thankfu...
  5. Anyone work at Allchildren's Hospital in St. Pete?

    Friday afternoon, and still haven't received anything, although I have resolved myself to the fact that I was not considered. As for me, I was offered a position as a new grad in an ER/level II trauma facility, but it's in Virginia--near my old duty...
  6. Anyone work at Allchildren's Hospital in St. Pete?

    I don't have a BSN, but I was a combat medic in the Army, and tried to write as compelling of a cover letter as possible. I thought I really captured my express interest in working for their facility, and am so disappointed. I feel like a fool for ho...
  7. Anyone work at Allchildren's Hospital in St. Pete?

    I hate to cut in here, but did any of the posters who commented this year apply for the August program? I still haven't heard anything, and I am being driven insane by it....the vague answers from HR only exacerbate the feeling, lol. Can someone PM...
  8. I am sure there are a million threads regarding this topic, but bare with me :) I don't have the time to sift through right now, but will do so when time is on my side! I am starting a position as a new grad in an ER/level II trauma facility in a fe...
  9. First off, there has been some REALLY excellent advice in this thread! OP, don't let this get you down or deter your ambitions to work in the ED. I am also a former combat medic in the Army, and a recent ADN grad in Florida (Post 9-11 GI bill, thank...
  10. I'm commenting to bump this thread--can anyone offer some insight or experience? Recommendations? Are there any areas you would recommend outside of NN but still within commute distance? Neighborhoods to rent within NN? I am looking for an apartmen...
  11. I'm commenting to bump this thread--has anyone heard ANYTHING? Denial or phone call? I am getting wary as the time passes....PM me if you don't want to reply. Thanks so much! It would give me some peace of mind!
  12. New Grad interview, 900 miles away, expensive...HELP

    I recently had a very similar situation. I am a new ADN grad out of Florida, and applied to an ICU and ED position in a hospital in Virginia (old military stomping grounds). I was SHOCKED when I received an email two days later requesting a phone int...
  13. Anyone applying to PHCC's Fall 2012 RN program?

    You might have to post one more comment to be able to message, it looks like Dynamic, dynamic, dynamic...dream big, achieve all things!
  14. Anyone applying to PHCC's Fall 2012 RN program?

    I do still have them! Can you PM on here? Give me your number and I will text you pictures :) and, thank you! It flies by, truly. Dynamic, dynamic, dynamic...dream big, achieve all things!
  15. How's florida for new grads?

    The only way TGH will consider you these days is if you are a BSN grad. Tampa hospitals are not hiring ADN grads without experience, unless you get lucky enough to be plucked up from a graduate nurse program from places like Florida Hospital Tampa. S...
