Baycare EAYL Graduates

Published

I was wonderin if there were any of baycare's EAYL Program graduates out there who can share how they feel about the program and how the 3 year committment is working out. Are you happy with your assignment? Are you happy you applied for the program or wish you had gone in your own direction? Thanks!

I am graduating in less than a month and am SO thankful I am an EAYL grad! I have worked at Morton Plant Clearwater for about 2 years now and that got me the chance to get my foot in the door with my manager. There are very limited job opportunities out there for new grads unless you are already working for a facility.

As far as the 3 year commitment, I really don't care because if I get bored with one area, I can go to another speciality or hospital. Also, if for some reason you don't get placed after graduation to a unit, they let you out of your contract.

This program is an amazing gift. Not only is your tuition and books paid for, you pretty much get paid to go to class and you get a job while in school to master your skills.

Are you in the program or just inquiring? PM me if you have any questions :)

Congratulations on completing!! I'd like to pick your brain, if you don't mind. I currently live in Tampa, attending hcc, only have AP II left on pre-reqs which will be done in spring, gpa aprox 3.3. Do you think its ok to apply for the EAYL even though my pre-reqs are incomplete? How hard is it to get in? Is there anything you can think of that would boost my chances? Thanks in advance. :)
