kwagner....that is such a horrible thing that happened to you, I'm so sorry. This is what discourages me about starting...I'm a new RN having trouble with orientation. I've been bounced between preceptors like there's not a care in the world---how do...
Consistency is a good word to use. I have talked to the NM about continuous-weekly changing my preceptors, because the preceptor is the charge nurse for the day. I feel like I'm definately being put to the test, because it stopped once I went to nigh...

I'm so sorry to hear this. There has to be something, an option that hasn't been considered! Personal loan through your bank or college, if she is a member of any pre-professional associations they offer loans. Have you tried any of these?? I wil...
There are hospitals in FL that offer relocation, and you don't necessarily have to have experience. St. Vincents and Florida Hospital offer relocation assistance for new nurses. Good luck Darlene-keep us posted.
Let me know how it goes at St Josephs, I'm also interested in working at the hospital. I've spoke to them and hope to have a phone interview soon. They seem to have some good opportunities for new nurses.

WhatToDo: What made you decide to go back and get your BSN? What job opportunities as your MPH given you..if you don't mind me asking? Did you ever think of working for CDC or the WHO? I am interested in public health and have just graduated nursing...
Please let me know what your job(s) are like. I just applied for a position, but probably won't get it, as I don't have the experience they are asking for.
There are some nursing internships/residencies that will help with relocation, in Florida. Not sure about anywhere else. I'm sure your paperwork for working in the U.S will take some time to process...but just as much time to find a good hospital ...
