  1. NSLFP Nursing Loan Forgiveness?

    TPA_CW_Shelley posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello, Has anyone received the NSLFP Nursing Loan Forgiveness? I applied over a month ago and was wondering how long it takes to hear back from them. I'm also curious to hear about your experience...

  2. Nurse Residency Programs

    TPA_CW_Shelley replied to Leah236's topic in First Year After Licensure

    All Children's in St Pete is already full and apparently they only do the residency once a year. I can tell you, the Tampa Bay area sucks for new grads right now. There isn't a job in sight. I have...

  3. All Children's RN Residency

    TPA_CW_Shelley replied to gilbert727's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yeah, I had more money when I was living off of my student

  4. New grad jobs? Tampa-St Pete area

    TPA_CW_Shelley posted a topic in Florida Nursing

    I just graduated in December with my ADN and have my LPN (no experience though, went straight back to school for RN). I can't find a job! Does anyone know of a hospital that takes new grads, or nurses...

  5. New grad jobs? Tampa-St Pete area

    TPA_CW_Shelley replied to TPA_CW_Shelley's topic in Florida Nursing

    I have been pretty much everywhere in Tampa, St Pete and Clearwater and haven't found a hospital job yet! I'm at a loss right now too. Mental health facilities might be your best bet. You could look...

  7. New grad jobs? Tampa-St Pete area

    TPA_CW_Shelley replied to TPA_CW_Shelley's topic in Florida Nursing

    It's tough out there right now! Just a warning though... I worked for an HCA hospital before, and I wouldn't do it again. They are a nightmare and a liability to your license. I have seen way too much...

  8. Tampa VA Hospital- New Grad Internship

    TPA_CW_Shelley replied to honeydue's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Sounds great! How long is the orientation? What is the internship all about? I'm bummed I missed it. No luck with jobs yet. This is NOT good. My landlord wasn't paying his mortgage so we got a...

    Hey Honeydue, How's it going at the VA? Do you like

  10. Cover Letters, Resumes, and Online Applications

    TPA_CW_Shelley replied to MissCharlieRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have friends in HR who promptly throw away any resume sent without a cover letter. It shows them that you're not interested enough in the position. The cover letter is where you're going to talk...

  11. Think i failed with 258 :(

    TPA_CW_Shelley replied to Megan Laura's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have no idea how often they post... In Florida, it didn't take a week. I checked using the license verification a day or 2 after for my LPN and it was there. Keep checking! Good luck, I know you...

    TPA_CW_Shelley replied to Megan Laura's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  14. Experiences with Morton Plant in Clearwater?

    TPA_CW_Shelley posted a topic in Florida Nursing

    I'll be graduating this month, so I have done a lot of research on the area hospitals. Morton Plant has really stood out to me and is my # 1 choice. Can anyone tell me about their experiences with the...

  15. Pay setting questions.... whats our worth?

    TPA_CW_Shelley posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    When the discussion of pay comes up during the interview process, how do we know what we are worth? I checked the US Bureau of Labor and Statistics to see what RNs are getting paid in my area...

    TPA_CW_Shelley replied to TPA_CW_Shelley's topic in First Year After Licensure

    HUH. Well that sucks! Good points though. Thanks

  17. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    TPA_CW_Shelley replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    In Florida (and I would assume pretty much everywhere) you can just go to the board of nursing website and do a 'provider' search. I found out the next day when I took my PN

  18. Where Is The Worst place to work in Florida?

    TPA_CW_Shelley replied to MsMorningGlory's topic in Florida Nursing

    Sarasota Memorial is good, and Manatee Memorial in Bradenton where I did clincials was pleasant. Stay FAR, FAR away from Blake Hospital, and Doctor's Hospital. They are a nightmare... Owned by

    TPA_CW_Shelley replied to honeydue's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hey Honeydue, Thanks for responding so fast! I have been looking into hospitals from St Pete to Tampa, so far I had only found Morton Plant and All Children's to have the programs. I wonder how many...

  20. Tampa VA Hospital- New Grad Internship

    TPA_CW_Shelley replied to honeydue's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hey Honeydue, I'm sorry I don't have an answer to your question, I just wanted to say thanks for asking, b/c I had no idea the VA had an internship! I graduate on the 18th, so I have been researching...
