1. Travel Nurse Offer. Yea or Nea? Anyone with experience please help!

   claytonrenee replied to Nurse4lifeNC's topic in Travel

   I've only been traveling for 1 1/2 years and that contract seems low to me. I only travel in Florida though, and try to stay within 2 1/2 hours of my home base because I have a family. The lowest I've taken was 1395 a week gross pay for my first as...

2. What do you think about this contract?

   claytonrenee replied to msmoe16's topic in Travel

   That would be a big NO! I make more than that in Florida where we are known for low pay.

3. Leaving first job, did you have a pay increase?

   claytonrenee replied to Nurse3242's topic in General Nursing

   New grad pay with ADN in Central FL I started out at $19.5. About 1 1/2 years later I was making $22.15. I went PRN at that time and got $33 an hour so I could start travel nursing with a huge increase of course in pay about $42. I recently starte...

4. Intermittent traveling ? (vs continuous assignments)

   claytonrenee replied to ivyleaf's topic in Travel

   I kept my PRN job at home. Only downfall is you are usually committed to X # of shifts per pay period or month. I don't travel far and stay within a few hours of my home so it's not too bad for me, but if you are traveling wide and far it might be ...

6. Who has applied to Daytona State College LPN program for the fall of 2012?

   claytonrenee replied to newbtonursing's topic in Florida

   I have applied to the RN program. When I spoke with the advisor, she said we would know before the 4th of July. :) Good luck. I am not holding out too much hope for the Fall class, but I should be able to get in the Spring class with a 3.3 GPA.

8. UCF- Accelerated BSN Starting Summer 2012

   claytonrenee replied to claytonrenee's topic in Florida

   I went to the nursing information session in November and found out as long as I had 7/8 of the pre-reqs done I would still be able to apply to the program. I am happy to report that I finished submitting my application today. I had a bunch of loos...

   claytonrenee replied to jnhutchi's topic in Florida

   When you all state your "upper division GPA" does that mean your last 60 hours GPA? Thanks for the help. When is the deadline for apps?

10. UCF- Accelerated BSN Starting Summer 2012

    claytonrenee replied to claytonrenee's topic in Florida

    I haven't applied to any programs at all. I won't even have Statistics completed until the end of Spring which tells me that this program is probably not an option for me. Major bummer since I was looking forward to moving on from my job this Summe...
