New Graduate looking for Orlando/Tampa area jobs!

[tkdman37]

Hello all!

I am currently in an Accelerated BSN program and will graduate mid August. I will be relocating and looking for a job as a new nurse in the Orlando or Tampa areas. I also hold a Bachelors in Psychology, and am a retired Air Force veteran. I am also a member of Sigma Theta Tau International. I am wondering what hospitals have new graduate programs, and how I can get myself a spot in them! I know that Florida hospital and Orlando Health do, but where are some other places to apply? Any tips and or hints to land that job? I have over 2 years experience now as a Nursing Assistant on Telemetry, Med/Surg/Oncology, ICU, Rehab, and Ortho, along with my clinical experiences in school. Any and all advice would be appreciated!

Other places to apply:

*Tampa General Hospital

*Florida Hospital (same Florida Hospital as in Orlando)

*Lakeland Regional Health (Lakeland is between Tampa/Orlando and has new grad-type positions)

*BayCare Health System (most facilities in Tampa, but also owns Winter Haven Hospital in Winter Haven, which is also between Tampa/Orlando)

Those are all the not-for-profit facilities I could think of; there are quite a few more for-profit hospitals in the area all the areas I mentioned also.
