I sit for my boards on March 15th but a requirement for the current graduate nurse program hiring is to have a florida license by February 27th, 2013. I am trying to find out when my next opportunity to get into this program is. I am specifically looking into an ICU grad nurse position. I am under the impression that all applicants to the grad program, despite the area of desire, apply under the same job code. This job code has the deadline I am referring to. If anyone has information pls share. Thank you.

Just keep checking back. They typically do February/July/October programs. But I believe they are adjusting some things this year with their new women's health unit being built at South campus.

The information I have applies only to the Florida Hospital central FL area. This incudes Florida Hospital South (main campus downtown Orlando), Florida Hospital East, Florida Hospital Celebration, Florida Hospital Altamonte, and Winter Park Memorial. This does not apply to other Florida hospitals (tampa, st. aug, heartland division, etc) The central FL system is wrapping up their Feb/March program, but the next programs will be July, August, October, and November. The downtown Orlando (main) campus only has theirs in Feb, July, and October. This also includes FH for children I believe, since it is located on the same campus. The August and November classes are probably only at the others, like Florida Hospital East, Florida Hospital Celebration, Winter Park Memorial, Florida Hospital Altamonte. I know they posted the Feb/March one around the end of November or December, so I would look out 3-4 months ahead of these program dates. When you apply, there will be one posting for all jobs available, and it will not specify which areas are available. It will be very general, something like 'Graduate nurse- all areas, all locations.' During the application, you will have the opportunity to choose areas of interest and preferred locations, but you will not know which ones are actually available until you have been called for your pre-screen phone interview, deemed to be a good applicant, and then put into non-public job codes according to any of your areas of interest that they may have available. Then HR and mangers will look at the applicant pool and pick the appropriate candidates for interviews.
