    Pay in Tampa/St Pete/Clearwater?

    Apply at Baycare. Work mobile pool if you can. It’s $45/hour. Night shift is $5 more shift differential for any nurse. You can easily make $35+/hour dayshift with experience. It depends on specialty. They pay well.

    Problems with q15 rounds

    I'd leave. My techs always do their rounds as scheduled and it's never an issue. If I remind anyone they aren't vengeful and admin backs this up wholeheartedly. Patient and staff safety are a priority.

    Galen January 2013 LPN to RN role call...??

    They are sticklers for time so try to get your employer to work with you regarding timing of classes. All of my clinicals were 6:30am-6:30pm so it had to be on a day off. I did work full time but luckily I had PTO to use when needed.
