2. New Grad looking to start RN career in Gainesville Florida

   nursebethie replied to PsycBScN2010's topic in Florida

   I just got hired at Shands in Gainesville in mid December 2010. I am a new ADN grad (Aug. 2009), in my 2nd semester BSN, with no prior experience. Shands in Gainesville is one of the few hospitals that will hire new grads, you just have to be really ...

3. Need hurricane/tornado advice

   nursebethie replied to Blackcat99's topic in Florida

   I have lived in St. Augustine for the last 18 years and have never evacuated. If you're in alachua cty. you're in the middle of the state and should be fine. The worst would probably be losing power and dealing with lots of rain and possible flooding...

5. New Grad pay in Jax area

   nursebethie replied to MuddaMia's topic in Florida

   I would love to know what that pay scale looks like 3 years later. I am a new grad (in NE FL) so this may seem like a dumb question, but if you just call HR at each hospital will they tell you these figures? Some have vague references on their websit...

7. SJRCC?

   nursebethie replied to gorgeousitstru's topic in Florida

   I actually just graduated in August 2009. I think it is so hard to be objective about teachers. What makes a student think a teacher is good or bad? Is it their knowledge or (or lack of) or teaching ability (or lack of) or meanness or niceness? I thi...

8. SJRCC?

   nursebethie replied to gorgeousitstru's topic in Florida

   Not great. Some have gotten jobs at Shands in Lake City (ER) and Gainesville (peds), some at florida hospital in Bunnell. Flagler now requires a bsn to hire. I am not looking yet. I'm also a professional photographer and am back into that for right ...

10. SJRCC?

    nursebethie replied to gorgeousitstru's topic in Florida

    I don't remember, I started in Jan of 2008. We did have our orientation on Nov. 13 2007 so I know I was notified before that. There is a lot of stuff you have to do once you are accepted and before school starts like cpr, fingerprints, vaccines, back...

11. Mid life career change?

    nursebethie replied to rayk1021's topic in Florida

    You should absolutely go for it. If anything it would be to your advantage being male. I am 53 (female) and just graduated nursing school. We had guys in my class and in all of the classes before and after mine. There is a guy who works at a local ho...

    nursebethie replied to gorgeousitstru's topic in Florida

    Oh also, they don't have a night/evening program and currently they only have nursing on the Orange Park and Palatka campus, not on the St. Augustine campus.

13. SJRCC?

    nursebethie replied to gorgeousitstru's topic in Florida

    Yes they do require nutrition but a bachelor program would also require it or something like it. we just graduated on the 12th of august and I think a few students have gotten jobs. I am not looking yet, we just received the OK to register for the nc...

    I just graduated from SJRCC in August. They don't require Coll Alg or Chem - yet. Chem will be a requirement starting August 2010 and they said they will be requiring coll alg. at some point in the future. I too have such a hard time with coll alg. ...

15. Why are some nursing students so negative?

    nursebethie replied to Two Sheds's topic in General Students

    I just try to let people know that NS is no joke. It requires a tremendous amount of time, money and energy. More than I had ever imagined. But I love my fellow students, there is such a feeling of comraderie, "we are all in this together and will ge...
