  1. I hate nursing..

    Preeps replied to flygirls2's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm sorry and I definitely feel your pain. As I have been there in spades. And I can tell you that it does get better, however better is relative. Never easy, but easier. There is so much to learn...

  2. Anyone a new grad working at FLorida Hospital or Orlando Health?

    Preeps replied to Renee4christ's topic in Florida Nursing

    The city of Winter Park if very nice. Upscale. I think you will pleasantly surprised. The W.P. campus is smaller than the main campus so you might like that. I don't know about a phone interview...

  5. Anyone a new grad working at FLorida Hospital or Orlando Health?

    Preeps replied to Renee4christ's topic in Florida Nursing

    I don't know average pay but new grad pay I believe for AS degree is $21.40 and a bit extra for BSN. That is base pay. Then there are differentials for nights and

  6. Is the economy getting any better? Are new grad jobs still looking grim?

    Preeps replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi, I am impressed and amazed that someone just 17 already feels so passionate and sure of their career choice! I think if it is your passion and dream that you should go for it. You have a lot...

    Preeps replied to RNmilwife's topic in Florida Nursing

    This is base pay with 2 years experience or GN? Thanks

  8. Florida hospital

    Preeps replied to RNmilwife's topic in Florida Nursing

    Ok thanks for the info. But is the base pay similar-you said $22.67 at Fl Hosp-what is the day shift rate at ORMC? Yeah I know that neuro floor, and they had techs or still do have but phasing out?...

  9. Florida hospital

    Preeps replied to RNmilwife's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi, I work at Fl. Hospital. Can I ask a few questions about ORMC? What is the pay there-I mean for day shift with 2 years experience? Is it similar? And what is the night shift at ORMC. Because Fl....

  10. What's up with Florida Hospital?

    Preeps replied to aimswenk's topic in Florida Nursing

    Do you know any RNs at Florida Hospital who might be able to get you in for an interview? Did you ever do clinicals there or tech work? Any type of connection might help. Florida Hospital is a...

  11. Any hospitals around Central FL that still actually hire LPNs?

    Preeps replied to ComeClarity's topic in Florida Nursing

    I would get your RN if you want to work in an acute

  12. Nursing layoffs or difficulty getting jobs? 2011 wages?

    Preeps replied to PhantomDelight25's topic in Florida Nursing

    I don't know if it is true that all the accelerated program RNs have jobs lined up before graduating. I have spoken to several and this is not the case at all. There are nursing jobs avaiable in...

  13. Relocating to Orlando Area

    Preeps replied to NursKris82's topic in Florida Nursing

    No unions around here. At Florida Hospital the ratio is 4:1 on most med-surg or PCU floors, sometimes 3:1. But without patient care techs 4:1 is scary. What was the ratio where you worked?

  14. Anyone a new grad working at FLorida Hospital or Orlando Health?

    Preeps replied to Renee4christ's topic in Florida Nursing

    If you are a new grad you would have to apply as GN. Any RN position will probably say min 2 years experience or something like that. But I would apply for any position you see available if it...

  15. Anyone a new grad working at FLorida Hospital or Orlando Health?

    Preeps replied to Renee4christ's topic in Florida Nursing

    What do you mean "forced to wait months to get hired" Do you mean because they only want to hire experienced nurses not GNs? You sound displeased with the school/hospital? Do you mind sharing why the...

  16. Anyone a new grad working at FLorida Hospital or Orlando Health?

    Preeps replied to Renee4christ's topic in Florida Nursing

    Sorry I'm not sure. Maybe I'm wrong but a GN on my floor stated it was 2,000 so just repeating what she said. Maybe because ORNIP requires training for a longer period it cost the hospital more money...

  17. Anyone a new grad working at FLorida Hospital or Orlando Health?

    Preeps replied to Renee4christ's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yes, I believe it is $2000 if you break the 2 year contract. And it is pro-rated dependending on how long you

  18. Nurse pay in Jacksonville?

    Preeps replied to priss614's topic in Florida Nursing

    I believe it is around $25 an hour. If someone has different info please let us know. And what CNAs??? lol! Florida hospital is going to "primary care" nursing. They are getting rid of all patient...

  19. To be or not to be...that's why I need your help!

    Preeps replied to Kaytbady's topic in General Nursing

    I would find another option. Reality is that nursing no longer = sure job. Alot of grad nurses can't find a job and I doubt it is going to get better in the next few years. Also nursing is not...

  20. Other jobs for BSN with revoked license?

    Preeps replied to MIZtigersZOU's topic in Nursing Career

    Well when it says "list all licenses" you just don't list it because you no longer hold a current license. If it says past license you can put past RN but it is no longer active. If it asks if you...

  21. Other jobs for BSN with revoked license?

    Preeps replied to MIZtigersZOU's topic in Nursing Career

    The person in question still has a bachelors degree. They may not be an RN but they have the degree. They could teach (not nursing) but they could take some extra classes and teach school-or like...

  23. salary expectations of a new grad in CT

    Preeps replied to raygun354's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I think 37k for a new grad for part time hours is pretty good actually. 23 an hour sounds about right for 1st

  24. salary expectations of a new grad in CT

    Preeps replied to raygun354's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    That seems incredibly low especially for the northeast. Are you working 40 hours a week or 36? What is the hourly

  25. Best path to becoming a FNP

    Preeps replied to Fourfecta's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I have never meet a NP who had never worked as an RN. Are there people that actually do this? I know at my school one had to work as an RN before even being accepted into the advanced...
