Two classmates just got offers from WelcomeHome Care, 35 visits per week at a minimum of 32.00 per visit. That is a basic visit. You get more for each 1/2 hour, starting IVs, new admits, etc. You might get close to your 39.00/hr with something like t...

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 OP and I am waiting to hear from them. If OP makes...

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 what is the other number? I'm going through the int...

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, I am pleasantly surprised!

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 great, unfortunately.

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 I think it is really unfortunate that these people...

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 3!!!!!

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 nursing, the campus president! My GPA at FSCJ is 3.9 so...

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 don't care what school you go to, as long as you have ...

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 what I already have and the 30 credits they give ...

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 my last class tomorrow and I am starting my prece...

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 program because I wanted to do ultrasound. It didn't...

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 first class hasn't even graduated! There is NO LPN...

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 SBI's first class! She was the director/teacher of...

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 will have a revised book as well.

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 regret my choice at all.

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

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 direct hit from a hurricane in 45 years (knock on wood...

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 pretty much all of them. Especially the spiders. ...

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) load that cd and just keep taking the practice te...

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 after that. By the way, you know about the NLN exam,...

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 will be around much more. I don't know the schedu...

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 town do you live on?

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 Jacksonville. I also saw the bad info online prior to star...

:wink2: love it, love it :wink2:
