No, my hospital has been full to the capacity for the last few weeks, I mean every bed in a 1000 bed hospital is full and the ED is still extremely overcrowded. We are a level 1 Trauma teaching hospital so we get people from all over so maybe that's ...

Yes, the starting salary for a new grad is $21.50. I work at a large teaching hospital in Tampa and that's the starting pay. Hope this helps :-). BTW, my mom works in California and was pretty sure she would be able to get me a job after I grad nursi...

Hey, I'm from Tampa...where do you work currently? I know if at least one person (even though he is a new grad) who had to move to Tampa because there was no work in NY/NYC. He said all the hospitals had hiring freezes. Good to see that there's a fel...

I got a job at a large teaching hospital in Florida. This hospital has an amazing CC program. What I did was I started applying for jobs in March even though I was graduating in mid-June. I also worked in a CCU (NOT at the same hospital) for 2 years ...

New Grad, hired into a critical care rotation program at a level 1 trauma hospital that does heart and lung transplants in Tampa, FL, pay starts at 21.50/hour. We do get diff for nights (19%) and weekends (5%) but I'm on days so I don't really benefi...

Congrats to you!! I start my Critical Care Rotation Program in less than a month, I am super stocked to say the least.

I started applying before I graduated and kept my options open. I figured the early bird catches the worm and I did. I haven't taken my nclex yet because my school just sent the paper work last week, but my job is hiring me on as a GN so they underst...

bump!

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone could direct me to a nice neighborhood close to downtown Austin? Im ok with a 20min commute so that's my distance requirements, I guess. I may be accepting a position at a local facility in the downtown area and...

Im not a nurse yet (6 more months, yay), but I work as a tech on a CICU (really called the "Dump unit") so we get a bit of everything and I gotta tell you there are definitely ups and downs to this unit. The unit is very exciting, always something in...

I think what the problem is, is that with the economy being the way it is now, the older nurses that were set to retire or did retire, stayed or went back into the workforce. So, the expected nursing shortage was really dependent on that. The main pr...

Yes, that sounds right. I am not a nurse yet (in last year of nursing school), but I work in Florida Hospital Orlando campus as a tech and that is the going rate for new grads in our hospital. So, there it is. Cost of living has gotten a little high ...

Well that sucks, good thing I have at least 2 years to go, maybe then they will get there act together. I wonder what the reason was. I thought it might be hard to have all of the clinicals off-site and still get approval...not saying that's what it ...

Love the Napoleon Dynamite reference :chuckle!!!

Hi all! I am considering making a move to Northern California, where my mom lives, after I finish nursing school, but I can't seem to find any information online about new grad internships or training programs:banghead:. I would prefer something in t...

Nevermind, I found the website with the info I need. Thanks a lot. If anyone else has any information on adults, that would be great. Thanks!!!

Thanks for the information but do you know if they have anything on their website that I can read up on about the program? Do they allow new grads to start in the ICU?

Yes, I agree completely...he is just about the hottest patient I can think of. I'm surprised people don't realized his absolute hotness, oh well, their loss---more for me:devil:.

I would be looking in the San Jose and surrounding areas, that's where my mom lives. I haven't really been able to get information online. Are there new grad ICU programs there? Thanks again

*Bump*

Thank you all for your helpful suggestions. I have currently subscribed to Nursing Made Incredibly Easy and I'm thinking about Nursing2008. I have had the chance recently to look at AJN and I gotta say it's pretty complicated. Maybe after graduation ...

Hi, I'm in the process of choosing a nursing journal to subscribe to, I would like one that is always current on nursing research subjects as I will be using it to do my assignments for class and then more. For a little background I am very intereste...

CONGRATS!!!! Can't wait to be in your shoes one day:bowingpur
