   I just saw that on the internet today! I think that’s wonderful. I wonder if it will ever change in other states, during my life time.

2. Broke My HCA Contract

   Encouraging I am not the only one that feels this away. Thanks tribe.

9. HCA StaRN contract

   another_nurse replied to nursingsprettycool17's topic in General Nursing

   Yes and before that you get a one month prep class where you watch computer modules. Makes no sense to me.

10. HCA StaRN contract

    another_nurse replied to nursingsprettycool17's topic in General Nursing

    There’s a designated length of time for all nurse residents... it doesn’t change. On med surg it’s 5 weeks but you take patients during this time and you can have preceptors that don’t help you so it is basically the same as being a nurse on the floo...

    I’m in the same. boat. My advice is to get another job at the end of the 2 years. I could be wrong but I think this company does not treat their nurses so well. If that doesn’t work out for me, I’m going into community nursing/doctors offic...
