1. New grad program at Florida Hospital Tampa

   NYtoFLRN replied to Jnapleks's topic in Florida

   Hey have you guys heard anything about buying scrubs? I emailed HR and they told me that we have to get our own and they have to be navy, but they didn't say anything besides that. I want to make sure I get the right ones!

2. tampa nurses new grad

   NYtoFLRN replied to trn2015's topic in Florida

   I'm a new grad with a BSN who was recently hired in the Tampa area. I think you're on target with your $25-30 per hour estimate, with the base being around $25 and closer to $30 with differentials :).

   NYtoFLRN replied to Jnapleks's topic in Florida

   I just took my boards this week and passed. SO glad that's done with, lol. Good luck with your move! And I know what you mean, lol. I've never lived more than a 5 hour drive from home, so moving a 19 hour drive away was a big change. I definitely can...

5. Tampa area

   NYtoFLRN replied to laurah1976's topic in Florida

   I can't totally weigh in on this since I'm new to FL and I'm a new grad, but I was recently hired in the Tampa area at a base of $24.28. But I did want to comment to remind you that Florida has no state income tax, which really does make a difference...

6. Florida Hospital Graduate Nurse Program July/August 2015

   NYtoFLRN replied to kjhinckley's topic in Florida

   I decided to apply directly to the Florida board since I wasn't really intending to look for a job in NY :). I know that that's the fastest way to do it if you 100% know you plan on working in Florida. Otherwise the hospital had emailed me to use thi...

7. New grad program at Florida Hospital Tampa

   NYtoFLRN replied to Jnapleks's topic in Florida

   I asked when I interviewed and they said that we would rotate through ICU, PCU/stepdown, Med-surg and ER in the first 12 weeks, and then we get to preference where we would rather work out of those and the nurse managers will decide. I told them I pr...

   Hi all! I'm also a graduate nurse from NY and I recently accepted a position with Florida Hospital Tampa. I did the same skype-style interview, was only about 15 minutes. They asked me questions about what teamwork means to me, what I knew about the ...

10. Upstate jobs? Where?

    NYtoFLRN replied to FloridaBeagle's topic in New York

    Not anywhere near the Hudson, but look into Buffalo. Plenty of jobs here, and lots of different hospitals. A few of the hospitals are offering sign-on bonuses for experienced RNs. I just finished my BSN at a school in Buffalo and I'd say around 50-60...

11. Wrongful termination?

    NYtoFLRN replied to greygooseuria's topic in NP

    I'm sorry, but the comments re: you not being eligible for unemployment are actually not 100% correct. Putting in a resignation notice is a courtesy to your employer- it's not a binding contract. You as the employee have stipulated that you are leavi...

13. Offered a position, worried about drug test and legitimately prescribed ADD meds

    NYtoFLRN replied to NYtoFLRN's topic in Job Hunt

    I'm inclined to, but I just got nervous with how things were worded in the disclosure from the hospital. Was just looking to see if anyone had any personal experience with this or any insight that I might not have thought of. This is my first time be...

14. Offered a position, worried about drug test and legitimately prescribed ADD meds

    NYtoFLRN posted a topic in Job Hunt

    Hello all! I was recently offered a new grad position at a hospital that I really wanted to work at- I'm very happy about it. I'm a little worried though, because I received all of my paperwork this week and there is a VERY extensive medical question...

15. NY-Presbyterian RNs here?

    NYtoFLRN replied to nycmaybe's topic in New York

    I would also suggest you look around Inwood/Washington Heights west of broadway. It's not necessarily 'hip and trendy' but it has a good solid community feel and is pretty quiet. More affordable than other neighborhoods in Manhattan, and the A train ...
