1. HCA New Grad Program (StaRN) at Kendall Regional (Miami, FL)

   leepoffaith replied to RNMPCR's topic in Florida

   Karen, That could be the hold up. Maybe they really like you and want to hire you, but aren't sure about taking someone into the program without their license yet. Overall I'd look at that as a good thing because even if you don't make it in now, I b...

2. HCA New Grad Program (StaRN) at Kendall Regional (Miami, FL)

   leepoffaith replied to RNMPCR's topic in Florida

   Karen, It was at Brandon. If you didn't get it then Jennifer (HR person) would have told you. I know she had to contact roughly 25 people for the PCU program. She doesn't sugar coat things so if she said she is still finalizing then you are still in ...

   I'm happy to report that I just accepted a spot in the StaRN (PCU) program in the Tampa Bay area and will begin August 25th! I've heard a lot of great things about this program and I can't wait to start! I had originally interviewed for an ICU spot, ...

   You will not need to wear uniforms to class times (at least you did not for SouthShore). You do need to wear uniform for clinicals days and that includes the clinical days you do in the lab on campus.

   As for the BSN program I would tend to agree with Juleby. They have been talking about this since I did my orientation back in Summer of 2012. IMHO if you are intending on getting your BSN then take a look at the State College of Florida's program an...

7. How to NOT interview for your RN/LPN job!

   leepoffaith replied to musicianRN's topic in Job Hunt

   Great topic! As a previous poster already said, as a new graduate I REALLY hope these are some of my competition! I was given a bit of advice by one of my friends in HR and it has always stuck with me. Your resume and how you present yourself during...

   Thank you for the tips! Did you apply to the program in general, or a certain department/position?

   Financial Aid is always messed up. You will eventually get your money, but it seems to vary every semester. The reading depends on your campus. At SouthShore we were told to enjoy our summer and be ready to work hard once class started. We were assig...

    That sounds like a great opportunity! I can tell you that unless you HAVE your BSN Tampa General and Florida Hospital won't even look at your resume as a new graduate. (Unless you already work there). I have a Bachelor's in Business as well as my ASN...

    Also, as for community service, that will vary each semester and each campus. For SouthShore you were given pretty specific guidelines on what you were expected to do each semester. Semester 1 we worked with the elderly, semester 2 we worked with the...

    It's 15-20 lab hours a semester. It's not too bad if you keep up with it. I'm not sure I would recommend taking extra classes during any semester of nursing. You guys will have 2 summers off since you are starting in spring so if you need to take ex...

    There are a few classes you need to graduate but are not scheduled in the nursing program. I think it's English II and an elective or two. You could do those. Other then that I can't really think of anything. If you plan on getting your BSN then mayb...

    If I remember correctly we had to do 20 hours of lab each semester. That is outside of class and clinical hours. Each campus usually has a day or two each week during certain hours that you can do them in. We were allowed to complete our lab hours at...
