I would like to hear from anyone that went through the GN program at Florida Hospital. How did you like it, did you feel it made your transition from new grad to nurse more smooth? How do you like working for FH? Any recommendations or help would be ...

Hi, I have been offered a job on a tele floor with a ratio of 1:8 nights. I am a new grad and would like to here from experienced nurses about what they think of this ratio. Is this a dangerous ratio? As an experienced nurse would you work with a rat...

How did your interview go? Are you planning on moving to Orlando if you get the job? or commuting? I also had an interview with FH. Best of luck to you all!

Thanks for the help. I hope everything works out for you

Thanks for the info. it seems that the pay in Fl is very low compared to other states, esp. for a new nurse. But the job market is so bad right now, I am willing to take anything, get the experience and then move on. Florida Hospital in Orlando is an...

Now that you have worked a few months at Charlotte Regional, how do you like it? I have an interview there soon and would like some input. What is starting pay for a new nurse? How are the benefits? Do they train you well and is it a nice place to wo...

User G, what hospital is hiring in S.fla?

What hospital is this?

Is this in Miami?

I am in the same boat as well. I graduated Dec.09 and still no job. I go on the web everyday and look all over the country and apply to jobs to no avail. Just recieve rejection emails. It's extremely frustrating and I think the only way to get a job,...

I am an RN also in the Miami area. I graduated Dec.09 and still have not been able to find a job. I have even applied to other states. It seems the only way to get hired these days is by knowing someone on the inside. It's very frustrating and unfair...

I would def. say bad idea, who can afford to work for that long for free?

IF I may ask which hospital are you working at? How do you like it?

What part of Ft.Laud are you looking at living in? It's like any other city in that you have your good areas and your bad areas. I'd say in the summer the heat is unbearable, muggy and downrite HOT, but the winters are beautiful. Good Luck

Everyone has an opinion about every hospital. It's hard to know whether it's good or bad until you actually work there.

JD, can you tell me what you saw specifically that was bad? Any other info would be great as well. I can't PM you since I don't have enough post, but if you can PM me. Thanks

Does anyone have any recent experience at Delray that could share? Looking to see if it is still as bad as everyone seems to have experienced. I don't want to get stuck at a job that I hate so any info would be great, thanks

Any ideas on when FH will be opening positions for ED for new grad nurses?

I do not know how to send a PM..if someone can tell me how, I'd be grateful. What things have you seen that made you understand how it got the bad reputation? What floor were you working on? Personally, I am very weary about their pt to nurse ratio, ...

Caring4u, What happened at Delray? I have been offered a job in the versant and I am considering not taking it because of all these things I have been hearing, Can someone be specific and recent on their experience?

You are lucky if you have had two job offers. Was the other hospital in Miami? I don't know of many places that are willing to hire a new grad unless you do the versant. I accepted the offer, tele, but I am still bothered by the ratios. I think you a...

One thing I am worried about is the high nurse to patient ratio. On the floor they offered me it was 1:7or8 It seems really high to me. ANy feedback out there?

I also got a job offer from them. Did they tell you about taking a math test? They did not mention that to me. I would be commuting from Miami as well. I have not decided if I am going to accept the job yet. Did you accept the job?

I also just went for the interview at Delray for the versant. What did you think of it? I'm a little apprehensive from all the post I've read on here of the horror stories. I'm not sure what I should do.

I just graduated from an excelerated year and half program for RN. Why you ask..no life? Let me tell you...we had quizzes everyday and 1-2 test per week. Plus we had clinicals 2 days out of the week. So you spend 8-1 in school and then you go home an...
