I'm starting my prereq's this spring en route to nursing school. I imagine that nursing would be very similar to waiting tables--a juggling act of responsibilities. If you've waited tables, is the work environment very much the same...sans the scrubs? Does the experience waiting tables, in any way, actually translate to nursing?

I'm curious as to why so many Jax area students go to FCCJ over SJRCC. Is the nursing program better? Easier to get into? Closer to home? Better opportunities after finishing school? I know that St. John's is strictly a daytime program. Is FCCJ day or night? St. John's OP works with OP medical center, but who does FCCJ partner with?

Thanks for the help!

I'm trying to understand... Let's presume a $21/hr base in a FL hospital working overnights. The differential is $9/hr. Is there always a differential added on to the hourly b/c it's overnight? Also, is overtime calculated with the differential? I'm gonna take a stab at a 48 hrs...4 12-hr shifts. Ex. $21+$9=$30/hr $30 x 40 = $1200 $30 x 1.5 = $45/hr-ot $45 x 8 hrs = $360/8hr-ot pay $1200 + $360 = $1560/wk
