  1. I hate nursing..

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

    I disagree that if you don't love your job you can't be effective etc. As I posted, I am not happy w/my situation or my floor (and right now due to economy feel I must stay put). But I still give...

    Preeps replied to vivi25's topic in Florida Nursing

  3. Know of any nursing schools in or near Debary or Duland, FL??

    Preeps replied to tinediddy's topic in Florida Nursing

    Preeps replied to student200977's topic in MICU, SICU

    Preeps replied to black_butterfly's topic in Florida Nursing

  9. I hate nursing..

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

  11. "New Grad" definition in florida

    Preeps replied to shootfighternurse83's topic in Florida Nursing

  12. Shands at Gainesville/Florida Hospital Orlando???

    Preeps replied to nurz2be's topic in Florida Nursing

  13. ICU staffing at Florida Hospital?

    Preeps replied to matt2401's topic in Florida Nursing

    There are many and varied opinions on that one! But in my opinion it can't hurt to start on a PCU floor. Going to ICU as a grad nurse is a lot to undertake in my humble opinion. But it can be done....

  17. Hiring freeze at Orlando Health?

    Preeps replied to StillThinking's topic in Florida Nursing

    I would not let one medical facilities hiring trends cause too much alarm. Florida Hospital Orlando is still hiring. There are plenty of jobs out there and I am sure ORMC (Orlando Health) will begin...

    Preeps replied to kurlygurl's topic in Florida Nursing

    There is no hiring freeze that I am aware of at Florida Hospital. . . in fact the last I heard they can't get enough nurses to fill the new Tower. They have rooms available but no nurses to work. I...
