My EC family.. I interviewed as a RN today

Nursing Students Online Learning

and got offered the job (not sure I want it though:icon_roll)- that's another story. Anyway, I'm in FL and I was preparing for a debate on my schooling. The question came up and the director said she thinks it is GREAT I could do a program like that because she shows how much of a hard worker I must be blah blah.. Here, I thought I needed to say the right things to HER for the job haha.

So, for those wondering about employment after EC, it apparently doesn't matter in my neck of the woods.. she said a RN is a RN as long as the BON says so..

I live in Pinellas county and I work at Morton Plant a Magnet Hospital. I am RN Excelsior Graduate.

I didn't take the job! I didn't feel like I'd fit in there nor did I think I could handle that kind of floor at this time (wasn't even interested in it, but it was fun getting that 1st call). I feel great about the decision too so I guess that's good.. I have another interview on Mon for something I will consider :-)

Specializes in Nurse Tech (Oncol.,Peds & Emer. Room).

Congrats! and good luck :)

Good going!

Good to hear that Florida has a clue. I will be moving "a tad south of Tampa" in 2.5 years. Meanwhile, Massachusetts has no problem with EC, but none of the local hospitals are hiring new grads ( I am on the lower South Shore/Cape Cod)The big teaching hospitals in Boston require BSN and most say that a BA in another field doesnt count. Hopefully my 3 yrs as LPN gets me in the door. Of course this will be after I pass CPNE on May 10th!!!

Specializes in E.R., post-surgical.

I live in SC. I just got my results from the NCLEX Saturday the 25th, interviewed today for a job on a post-surgical floor, and accepted the position, start Monday!!!! I'm lovin life right now
