  1. Anyone work at Orange Park Medical Center?

    RNin10 replied to Elbajista's topic in Florida Nursing

    Thanks for that info. I just got an offer from the hospital in Palatka, they offer new nurses with no experience 21.00/hr. My offer is for days so diffs were not discussed. I had a 3rd interview with...

  2. Anyone work at Orange Park Medical Center?

    RNin10 replied to Elbajista's topic in Florida Nursing

    I am just curious, the differentials are 2.75, 3.50 and 2.00 weekends. That means 2.00 per hour on the weekend, but what is 2.75 and 3.50? I know one of those is night shift diff, but which one? And...

  3. any jobs for new grads in fl

    RNin10 replied to skny's topic in Florida Nursing

    I am a new grad and have interviewed at 3 hospitals in Northeast Florida in the last week. All of them said they don't have a problem hiring new grads! I must admit, this is not what I was expecting,...

  4. Sanford Brown Jacksonville

    RNin10 replied to patientlywaitinagain's topic in Florida Nursing

    Good luck! Give the program 100% and you will get what you need! I couldn't be happier with my education...I graduated in August and passed NCLEX with 75 questions in October. The job search isn't so...

  5. Concorde vs. Keiser vs. Sanford Brown (Jacksonville)

    RNin10 replied to patientlywaitinagain's topic in Florida Nursing

    I graduated in the first SBI class, passed NCLEX on 10/22 and started working Friday night as an RN. I have seen a couple posts on here about the admissions people. I agree with the comments made and...

    RNin10 replied to patientlywaitinagain's topic in Florida Nursing

    I graduated from SBI in the first class and just passed NCLEX with 75 questions, as did two other classmates! So far we are 3 for

    RNin10 replied to patientlywaitinagain's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi Patientlywaitingagain! It is a shame that the admissions person couldn't have some of the simple facts straight! I would definitely recommend that you speak to someone. If not the director of...

    RNin10 replied to patientlywaitinagain's topic in Florida Nursing

    You do put the school on your resume. I was concerned about going to this school and especially being a new program so I called the HR of all of the area hospitals and I was told that they really...

    RNin10 replied to patientlywaitinagain's topic in Florida Nursing

    They will transfer to Chamberlain, Kaplan and U of Phoenix. I took my prereqs (except college algebra) at FCCj and SJRCC and I will be applying to JU for my BSN. They don't take SBI's prereqs but with...

  10. Concorde in Jacksonville?

    RNin10 replied to KTeacher2Nursing's topic in Florida Nursing

    Still pleased as punch. I am impressed that the school is willing to do everything possible to help you pass NCLEX. So, we have had the use of HESI, Hurst Review, ATI, and Saunders! I take my final in...

    RNin10 replied to patientlywaitinagain's topic in Florida Nursing

    I will agree that some of the practices of SBI are questionable, as far as making students go through one program to get to another. Although by doing that they did me a favor. I enrolled in the MA...

    RNin10 replied to patientlywaitinagain's topic in Florida Nursing

    Part of the reason SBI Jax has a bad reputation is because people post on here and other sites about something when they know nothing about it. SBI Jax doesn't have an NCLEX pass rate yet because the...

  13. Concorde in Jacksonville?

    RNin10 replied to KTeacher2Nursing's topic in Florida Nursing

    I graduate from Sanford Brown in a few months. I just want to say that the comment about the director's previous 10 classes having a 100% pass rate were not from this school, obviously, since this is...

  14. Hurst Review..... (New Book?)

    RNin10 replied to MystyqueOne's topic in General Students

    If you have not already bought the book I would wait and see if they come out with a new book. NCLEX changed the test as of April 1 and I know that Hurst is revising their review so I would think they...

  15. Concorde in Jacksonville?

    RNin10 replied to KTeacher2Nursing's topic in Florida Nursing

    I am in the RN program at Sanford Brown, I LOVE it. It is tough, and comparable to FCCJ and SJRCC (from talking to friends in other programs). Sanford Brown gives more one on one than SJRCC. I don't...

  16. Florida water bug bite treatment?

    Oh yeah, Waldo is known as the speed trap capital of the

  17. Best area for year round work?

    RNin10 replied to Guest296136's topic in Florida Nursing

    Jacksonville is not a tourist area so the work would not be seasonal, although it is probably lower paying than South Florida. The cost of living is lower than South Florida and we have not had a...

  18. Florida water bug bite treatment?

    RNin10 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Florida Nursing

    Uck...I don't live far from Gainesville and I have never encountered the giant water bug. I have come across the smaller one. Unfortunately bugs are a huge part of living in Florida. I am terrified of...

  19. Concorde in Jacksonville?

    RNin10 replied to KTeacher2Nursing's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hey RN2Bee...any math you take will help, but the more the better. The NLN is tough. The school has a book that you can borrow. I would get it, there is a cd with it (once you have a computer at home)...

  20. Concorde in Jacksonville?

    RNin10 replied to KTeacher2Nursing's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hey RN2Bee84! I am not sure if you check your private messages, so I am putting this in both places...I got my schedule. Start June 16 I will be there Mon - Thurs. 1-6, so maybe we can get together...

  21. Sanfrod Brown Anyone?

    RNin10 replied to RN2Bee84's topic in Florida Nursing

    Well right now I am only in one class and it is on Tuesday from 3-4 and if you are done at 2 we are completely missing each other. But our next mod starts June 16 and I have to take all 4 classes so I...

  22. Sanfrod Brown Anyone?

    RNin10 replied to RN2Bee84's topic in Florida Nursing

    I think we have "talked" before, I didn't realize you were the same person. We should stay in touch and keep tabs on how things are going. Since we are at the same school and all. And what side of...

  23. Sanfrod Brown Anyone?

    RNin10 replied to RN2Bee84's topic in Florida Nursing

    Other campuses apparently have problems, but I went there for a year for medical assisting and had a great experience, and I am now in the RN program and so far it has been excellent. I am in...

  25. Sanford Brown Jacksonville

    RNin10 replied to RN2Bee84's topic in General Students

    I graduated from their MA program last year and I am in the nursing program now! I love it, but it is a lot of hard work. Nothing at all like MA! I took almost all of my prereqs at FCCJ/SJRCC and have...
