  3. Anyone work at Orange Park Medical Center?

    I just scored an interview at Orange Park Medical Center for the ED. I was wondering if anyone here worked there, and if so, if anyone had any tips for the interview or the facility in general....

    Elbajista replied to Elbajista's topic in Florida Nursing

    Typically when there are two numbers for night shifts diffs it's in reference to 3-11 and 11-7. 7a-3p is base, 3p-11p is the first diff, 11p-7a is the second diff. I also heard their weekend diff is...

  5. Large bore IV

    Elbajista replied to remf3's topic in Emergency

    I always go for 18g. It only took once for me to regret not having put in a larger bore IV when a pt went sour. The same goes for PITA patients/people who come in for ridiculous PCP complaints. Make a...

    I see that. Hopefully the pay reflects such a stiff

  8. New Grad pay in Jax area

    Elbajista replied to MuddaMia's topic in Florida Nursing

    I tried that but was quickly shut down. I was told that pay would be discussed only after and if a job offer had been extended. Basically, they want to rope you in by making you go through the tedious...

    Elbajista replied to Elbajista's topic in Florida Nursing

    $24-$26? Wow! Is that for experienced nurses? I've heard that most new grads are getting an average of

  10. Anyone work at Orange Park Medical Center?

    Elbajista replied to Elbajista's topic in Florida Nursing

    Fellow students of mine were Unit Clerks, Telemetry Techs, and ER registration clerks. All were great jobs with decent pay ($14+/hr in central Florida) and give awesome experience. My friend the Tele...

    Elbajista replied to floridanurse924's topic in Florida Nursing

    Anyone have any insight into the pay and differentials at Flagler now, almost 4 years

  12. Anyone work at Orange Park Medical Center?

    Elbajista replied to Elbajista's topic in Florida Nursing

    That's good news. That contract must be for a GN position or maybe in exchange they'll pay for BSN

  13. Anyone work at Orange Park Medical Center?

    Elbajista replied to Elbajista's topic in Florida Nursing

    I have to agree. A commitment contract without any sort of sign-on bonus is unfair. People are desperate for work, and this kind of thing is definitely meant to take advantage of that. I'd hate to...

  14. Anyone work at Orange Park Medical Center?

    Elbajista replied to Elbajista's topic in Florida Nursing

    Wow, that $3000 thing is crazy. I've never heard of any hospital having that kind of setup. I could see if it was a cash bonus that had to be repaid, but not just straight from the nurse's pocket....

  15. Anyone work at Orange Park Medical Center?

    Elbajista replied to Elbajista's topic in Florida Nursing

    hmm....That UNF thing sounds interesting. As for that contract, I'm okay with the prospect of a $3000 payback if they GIVE $3000 as a sign-on bonus. Otherwise, that's

  16. Anyone work at Orange Park Medical Center?

    Elbajista replied to Elbajista's topic in Florida Nursing

    I agree. That's insane. I would want them to at least pay for my school, if not give me a $3000-$5000 bonus in addition to paying off my $4000 in school loans. Sign me up for 3

  17. Anyone work at Orange Park Medical Center?

    Elbajista replied to Elbajista's topic in Florida Nursing

    That sounds great, just what I wanted to hear. How are the shift differentials for nights and weekends? Do you know if they offer sign-on bonuses, tuition reimbursement, or school loan

  18. Anyone work at Orange Park Medical Center?

    Elbajista replied to Elbajista's topic in Florida Nursing

    Wow, thanks for the great reply! I really like what you have to say, it sounds like the ideal place for me. I like that it's on the upswing, and that they're really moving to improve the workings of...

  19. Anyone work at Orange Park Medical Center?

    Elbajista replied to Elbajista's topic in Florida Nursing

    What units do your friends work in? Do you happen to know what kind of base rate they're making? I'm trying to find out what kind of pay rate I can expect to be offered, if they do extend a job

    anyone?

  21. New Grad pay in Jax area

    Elbajista replied to MuddaMia's topic in Florida Nursing

    that's a great starting rate! it's a sad state of affairs in this area, northeast FL. It's great if you have experience, but super-tough if you're just starting out. I'd be ecstatic to make $22 an...

  22. New Grad pay in Jax area

    Elbajista replied to MuddaMia's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hmm....according to this reference list, a night shift nurse should make an average of $22.50 starting during night shift @ OP. Have wages actually decreased since this list was made? Do you know if...
