1. HCA StaRN contract

   newnurse2434 replied to nursingsprettycool17's topic in General Nursing

   I've since hired an attorney to fight it....waiting to hear back from them to see if they accept my counter offer or if they'll just drop it all together. I left due to the fact that they were doing some really questionable stuff, so I mentioned that...

2. HCA StaRN contract

   newnurse2434 replied to nursingsprettycool17's topic in General Nursing

   How long ago did you leave? It took them about a month and a half to contact me asking me to repay. It was a piece of mail from the "Benefits Recovery Group," which is a collections agency that I guess HCA is in cahoots with. I wouldn't contact them ...

3. HCA StaRN contract

   newnurse2434 replied to nursingsprettycool17's topic in General Nursing

   I don't think it'd *hurt* to interview with them. If anything, it'd be good interview experience. I will say though, please be very cautious about accepting a job with them. Look for any red flags during the interview. Ask about their retention rates...

4. Atrium Health New Grad Program Summer 2020

   newnurse2434 replied to novicenurse20's topic in North Carolina

   I applied back in October for their Spring 2021 residency (starts in March 2021), interviewed, and my application is still under review...this was all about 2 months ago. Wondering if/when I'll hear back

5. HCA StaRN contract

   newnurse2434 replied to nursingsprettycool17's topic in General Nursing

   Whole heartedly agree that it's exploitation. I don't even know how they'd be able to enforce it because this particular hospital loses nurses at an obscene rate. One day 12 nurses on two separate units all walked out. The turnover rate is so quick t...

6. HCA StaRN contract

   newnurse2434 replied to nursingsprettycool17's topic in General Nursing

   You took the words right out of my mouth. The orientation and "training" I received was absolutely laughable. I was there for such a short amount of time too that I made probably <$5k from them. They cut corners to come in under budget. Management...

7. HCA StaRN contract

   newnurse2434 replied to nursingsprettycool17's topic in General Nursing

   Yup 5 week "preceptorship" and a month of class/skills lab/simulation. The month of classwork didn't teach me anything that I didn't already know...My preceptorship was only 4 weeks; however, after 2 weeks I was completely on my own and taking a full...

8. Advice for breaking nurse residency contract

   newnurse2434 replied to HayRayRN's topic in Career Support

   New grad nurse here....just quit my 2 year contract after only being 4 months in. Reading through some people's responses is disheartening, honestly. I get that the first year of nursing is HARD. I totally get that. But WHY IN THE HELL would you enco...

9. HCA StaRN contract

   newnurse2434 replied to nursingsprettycool17's topic in General Nursing

   I just quit a few weeks ago and broke my contract...these HCA owned hospitals don't give a crap about their employees. The hospital I was with has had SO MANY nurses leave over the last few months. As a new grad, that's not something I wanted to see....

    Beckyyy did you take micro and chem II at GGC? If so, were the pretty easy/were the professors good? I'm taking them this summer I really want an A in both!

    newnurse2434 replied to agcritcare's topic in School Programs

    ^^ same with me! Jansenrenee22 A few of my coworkers that just graduated from the Augusta program recommended places on Alexander Dr! I'm looking at the Glen on Alexander and Ten35 Alexander. Prices aren't too bad (~$600-$700/month) but definitely mo...

    Congrats!! I just graduated from GCSU this past May and several of my friends went through their program. They all loved it!

13. Augusta University BSN Fall 2018 Cohort

    newnurse2434 replied to agcritcare's topic in School Programs

    Best of luck to you both! Maybe try calling admissions too and see if you could be put on the Athens waitlist if they accept you to the main campus? I really wanted the Athens campus myself as it's much closer to where I live/trying to stay PRN at CH...

14. Augusta University BSN Fall 2018 Cohort

    newnurse2434 replied to agcritcare's topic in School Programs

    ayaya that might have just been their personal deadline! My acceptance letter never mentioned a specific date, rather they just tell you that you have 15 days to either accept or pass up your spot in the program! I'm sure they're still sending out ac...

    @jansenrenee22 for that micro class that you're taking online, does it include the lab? I'm looking at their course catalog for this summer and they offer a section of micro online but it says it's only 3 credit hours. Did you have to go to their cam...
