I was wondering the same thing. I will be taking the test soon. Any hints or tips on what to study on?

I wanted to know if your floor had techs or aids? or do you provide total care? Also what size is your unit and how many beds are in your hospital?

This might come off wrong, but what is so great about DE?

You said that you stood motionless for hours before you fainted. I know that locking your legs while standing cause you to faint. I seen it happen to the so many people in boot camp, locking your legs decrease venous return to the heart there for reduces blood to the brain. Now I just came up with that and I can't say that I am 100% sure, but I think that's what happens. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Nailed the ICU internship!!! Apparently I was the only candidate interviewing. I guess going in face to face with a nurse recruiter is much better then applying online....

Wow! that's really rough. I really think that you should re think your job, especially if you are performing nursing duties. Ask your self a few question like, are you insured, does the company insure you if something happens. What is your job descriptions? etc. It sounds like your being exploited for your degree. It's a marketing strategy to get people in. If you decide to keep it, I hope that you will find something better soon. I was able to work out yesterday and will be heading to the gym in about an hour. As for diet, I believe that if you burn enough calorie you can eat an ice cream bar or a cookie.

Lol you will enjoy Nursing school, I notice that other classes had clicks, and groups. I'm glad that my class didn't have that problem. Let me know if you need an help with anything.

Medium for blues. I'm also a guy, I assume your not, so whites would not work for you.

I was 4/5 this week. I prefer working out Mon-Fri. I did start my weight training and running. I must admit my body is still aching, especially form the squats and hamstring exercises. I got my interview tomorrow and one on Thursday. Wish me luck guys. Also good luck this week, lets keep up the hard work...

Do they hire new grads?

Good luck guys! Let me know if you have any questions or need some help. I also have some uniforms that I don't use.

Thanks, but the two hospital are completely different organizations.

Wow thank you so much, I didn't know all that. I have an interview this next week for an ICU job. I really enjoy ICU, but I'm also afraid of working in terrible environment since I am a new grad. I guess as a new grad we need all the support we can get.

I started at a LTC while I was hunting for a hospital job. Usually LTC starts of much more then hospitals. My friends that are new grads got 27.50 start off. She makes 30/hr with diff. This is in the St. Augustine area.

I have a ICU and Med Surg interview next week. I was wondering if you guys can give me some advice. I do fairly well with interviews, never really get nervous about it. I had several offers in different position but I have been holding out for this ICU job. Should I tell the DON that I have other offers but that I decided this is what I wanted to do and that ICU is my passion, or would that come off to forward.

Not sure about the hospitals, but I was offered a job for LTC and as a new grad I got 25.25 I know that the hospital pay is not as competitive compare to a LTC, but the Diff/ should make up some. The market is terrible out here but with your 1 year experience you shouldn't have any problems.

Hmm... Well I got an interview next week as a new grad for ICU. I have been holding out for this position and turned down several other job offers.

Thank you, I went to the Palatka Campus. As for the Job Market for new grads... Good luck! There are still a few in my class that haven't found a Job. Maybe when you get out of school the market might change. I would also advise on picking a Externship at a hospital you would like to work. Make sure you network before graduation. I used all my networking from the program to get some type of job. I was offered LTC, Home Health, Dialysis,and a County Jail job. Although, I am waiting to get into a hospital (ICU), I think that's where my passion is. I have an interview next week for an ICU job and a Med-Surg at another hospital. Good Luck

:yeah::yeah: I am one of the students in Spring that passed the NCLEX with a 100%:yeah::yeah:

Can you please tell me what you think about Baptist Health Jacksonville South? Do you enjoy the organization? Would you recommend this employer to other nurses? Please tell me what you think...

Can you please tell me what you think about FFH? Do you enjoy the organization? Would you recommend this employer to other nurses? Please tell me what you think...

Well ladies, I'm glad you both found Zumba! Anything that involves constant motion is a great workout. As for me, I got out of the base late Monday, I went home and passed out. I did hit the gym yesterday doing some running and the elliptical. Also worked on the abs and back. I will be heading out there tonight again. It's a new start to working out again. The first several weeks are always the worst! Oh I am getting the P90X from a buddy, if any of you want it please let me know. I can probably send it as a file. P.S. I got 2 job interview next week at 2 different hospital. One for ICU and the other for Med-Surg.

Hey there, Well about me. I am 5'7 and 174.4lbs. I use to work out religiously but I have stopped ever since I started finals in school.(that was in April). So I will be getting back to the gym starting Monday and I will attempt to go 5 days a week. My goal is 150-155 So hopefully I can get there in a few months. We will see...

Wow! Can I hop on the bandwagon. I will be starting up my exercising program this Monday. I swear after graduation, I felt like I gained so much weight. I will post my stats once I get an accurate weight. Wish me luck!

Hello Molly, Referring back to the poster that stated that the hospital will terminate new grads to make room for a experience nurse, I have a few questions about that and hopefully you could be so kind to answer them. First, I was wondering if the hospital does this on a common base. Does the hospital have a reputation on terminating their new grads. Second, is this based on the new Ormand beach location or the Palm coast location?
