I lived in the Palm Bay Area for several years, then middle of the state, now Tampa area. We miss the Melbourne/Palm Bay Area horribly and hope to move back over there this year! Beautiful area!

Both of the hospital systems I have worked for in Florida always offered plenty of opportunity for overtime. Where I currently shift did is 2.75/HR for 3-11 and I think 5/HR for 11-7. $1/HR on weekends. We also have a bonus incentive during season o...

Hi everyone, Yesterday I applied for the new grad RN residency at Cleveland Clinic, and took the online assessment. I got an email today asking me to schedule a phone interview. I am a new grad, living in Florida. What happens after the phone interv...

I am curious if anyone else here applied for this? If so, have you heard anything? I had an interview last Wednesday, and the waiting for an answer is driving me crazy!

Has anyone ever been offered a job after a phone interview only? I've done quite a few phone interviews, and had some request in person interviews after. However, I had a phone interview last Thursday ( hospital 2 1/2 hours away), and received a call...

Sorry to hijack a thread, but scrubs_are_pjs, what's it like at Bayfront? Do you like working there? I just applied for an ED position there.

The other day, I saw a posting on baycares site, taking apps for a critical care internship for experienced nurses. They are in Tampa.

I graduated from the RN program at the Melbourne campus in December 2012. I thought it was a fantastic program. The school is very highly regarded at the hospitals we had clinical in. Everyone in my class passed nclex first try. We also all had jobs ...

Yes thank you for all the information on the assessment. It definitely made me more confident going into it.

After all the hassle and runaround from other schools, I have decided to make the switch to WGU. Working on my readiness assessment now. I have all parts done except the essay. It hasn't been too bad so far. Dare I say easy? Then I clicked on the ess...

Keep applying. I think I had 6 or 7 apps in for different positions.

I work at the Lake Placid location. I was hired as a new grad in April, for the emergency department! Heartland Division does hire new grads. They use the same orientation books and schedule for new grads as the Orlando locations. They just do not ha...

I just started at Florida Hospital Heartland Division. They have 3 hospitals in the Sebring/Lake Placid area, and are very new grad friendly. They don't post a new grad or residency position. You just apply to the regular RN positions. They use the s...

I don't see the new one on there yet. They don't always post it on the first week, sometimes the second week. I just always checked like every other day until it posted, then applied. You drop down to registered nurse, then the second search box, pic...

I did all my clinicals at Health First, and did get one interview there for the RN Residency back in February (didn't get the job). They don't have a set number of new grads that they hire each month. They screen the apps, then forward the qualified ...

My husband and I would like to move from Florida to Washington state, in order to be much closer to his family. I have not been able to find any information on how long it takes to endorse a license to WA. I am hoping someone here has a rough estimat...

I just started at Florida Hospital Heartland Division, in the ED. They have 3 hospitals. Its in rural Florida, but they are very new grad friendly in about every area but icu.

I've got an interview Wednesday!!! It's at Florida Hospital in Lake Placid. I know Florida Hospital in general is a great place to work for, but does anyone know anything about this location??? Any info would be much appreciated! Thanks, Campercass

That's awesome! I have to go down Tuesday for the paperwork, physical, etc...so going to scope things out in person. Wish me luck!!!

Well, never did hear from Tampa about the last interview, so the decision is out of my hands. What a relief! We would rather have moved to Tampa, as my husband will do much better there, but part of me is secretly pleased that I didn't get it. I have...

I start orientation on 4/22, at Sebring, then will be working in lake placid. I'll be relocating from the Melbourne area. I've been trying to find cheap places to stay for a few weeks until I find a home to rent for when my family joins me at the end...

I'm so freaked out and stressed right now, I didn't even say congratulations on the position! I'm sorry. Congratulations!!!

FH Tampa? What unit? Whats it like? My classmate that was hired at FH orlando is loving it there too! My interview at FH Carrollwood is Monday for pcu. PCU isn't really my top choice, but I'm really getting excited about it. We sooooo want to move to...

Rejected.
