1. Nurses who Nurse Patients

   gwyneffar replied to QI/QM's topic in General Nursing

   I work in Rehab, too, and I know exactly what you're talking about! But then again I'm the nurse with no time management (per my boss) because I: 1) help my CNA's do everything because we're a team. If I can help with any ADLs, especially with mobili...

2. Anyone a new grad working at FLorida Hospital or Orlando Health?

   gwyneffar replied to Renee4christ's topic in Florida

   I looked for the posting, but couldn't find it in the search over at the hospital's web page. I'm up for anything; ED could be a great learning experience! Another question: on the job posting for Pediatric RN jobs (not the internship) it doesn't say...

3. Places for New RN to apply in Northeast Florida?

   gwyneffar replied to Elbajista's topic in New Nurse

   I know there's at least one agency in town looking for people. I just got hired there to work at the county jail. Are you absolutely sure OP is hiring new nurses? I've called them, put in countless applications, have tech experience (which is suppos...

4. New Grad Moving To Jacksonville Beach Area

   gwyneffar replied to Nurse2B2009's topic in Florida

   I live out in Jacksonville Beach and, as Miss Whitney said, it's really hard to find anything out here. I actually did work at a hospital during school and it has not helped me at all get a job at that hospital. So.. I just got a job with an agency...

5. Anyone a new grad working at FLorida Hospital or Orlando Health?

   gwyneffar replied to Renee4christ's topic in Florida

   I have a question! When I applied to do the new grad internship over at Florida Hospital, I was put on a waiting list. Now I have my license, but am still a new nurse, of course. Are their internships for people such as myself there? I would so move ...

6. New Grad pay in Jax area

   gwyneffar replied to MuddaMia's topic in Florida

   The only thing I can add is that I believe Baptist's new RN rate (or maybe GN rate, not sure) is $20.50 an hour. They have no GN program in effect and are only hiring GN's internally.

7. Can't get a job as new RN

   gwyneffar replied to black_butterfly's topic in Florida

   Catching up from the last few posts: Yes, I was a PCT at the very hospital I was mentioning. Since I am not a PCT there NOW or in the time I was applying, it means nothing. All of the new GN jobs at Baptist, for instance, were only hired internally. ...

8. Can't get a job as new RN

   gwyneffar replied to black_butterfly's topic in Florida

   I spent many a day speaking with Ms. Lineburg, too. I got the same reasoning - I ended up doing my clinicals at Baptist Beaches rather than Mayo since the spots got filled too quickly. I am glad, however, that she told me why, I guess. But they would...

9. Took NCLEX-RN Exam today (YIKES!!!)

   gwyneffar replied to EmilyLucille523's topic in NCLEX

   I took mine last Saturday morning and was able to do the trick the very same afternoon. :)

    gwyneffar replied to MoBroo's topic in Florida

    You're welcome and thank you! I found out yesterday that I passed! Yay! Now to find a job!

11. Just got a job at Wolfson Children's in JAX...relocation help needed!

    gwyneffar replied to MoBroo's topic in Florida

    It looks like you have lots of help, but I wanted to pop in and congratulate you on getting on with Wolfson's! I've worked at Baptist as a tech for awhile and actually just took my NCLEX today and Wolfson's is my #1 dream hospital. I hope that you l...

12. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    gwyneffar replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX

    I just took my exam this morning and tried the trick once the 'delivery successful' was there. It looks like from that I passed.. I hope it is true. I had all 265 questions and have been a wreck all day.

13. May 2009 Graduates!!! Do you have a job yet?

    gwyneffar replied to soon2bRN516's topic in New Nurse

    When I was doing my clinical rotations, I used to go see HR and talk to the nursing recruiters quite often. I also made sure I spoke to nursing managers directly involved in the hiring on whichever floor I was on. The last place I was at, I would hav...

14. May 2009 Graduates!!! Do you have a job yet?

    gwyneffar replied to soon2bRN516's topic in New Nurse

    No luck so far for me. I'm in Northeast Florida and of course, no one is hiring GNs. I went off on a limb and applied in Orlando, but I am on a waiting list for an internship there. I am thinking I will apply to a hospital with a GN program in South ...

15. FCCJ Summer 2009, anyone?

    gwyneffar replied to SummerHopeful's topic in Florida

    *peeks in* Hey, I'm graduating soon, yay! I know you're getting lots of help in here, but if you have any other questions, maybe I can help? Maybe? :) Congratulations!
