Congratulations! L&D is my passion also ,I wish you the best,I've been a nurse for a little over a year and never thought to apply at shands gainesville.

Here where I live at ,me and a couple of nurses who now work at a hospital all were previously at LTC facilities, I got hired on at the hospital I work at now after working 6 months at an LTC,it all just depends I guess where you live at and their vi...

Yes please try PSA or Integrity,I just started with PSA and they have no problems hiring new grads and I just started with Integrity,they don't mind either, I started off in a nursing home on the northside of jax that had a bad reputation also,if you...

I can relate,LTC is very stressful,I did LTC for 3 months after I graduated and I would sometimes be in tears from all the duties and having 30 residents,and a unit manager who dare not help any floor nurses at all on the wing I worked on. I now do h...

Wow!I am happy to hear you found a work place that values you,I personally know nurses also who had to leave their previous place of work due to their nurse managers treating them crappy also.

Ok,don't get me wrong, I'm happy I didn't have to wait long to find a job as a new grad, but so far all I have is 2 months and 1 week of LTC nursing home experience,and the ADON/DON see no problem with me training a new nurse? I was told LTC's would ...

Thanks for the advice,I guess I was freaking out,I was just started to feel less overwhelmed at this LTC facility and afraid this may cause me to get overwhelmed again.

I was waiting for my supervisor to come back from vacation then I will. I just they may try and talk me into training anyhow and I don't want to have to deal with that.I have another job on the side, I wouldn't be quitting without any job at all,I le...

Ok, I have been working as a RN for officially a month this coming friday, when I was hired I was told a month of training ,the 1st week was ok, the 2nd week I was put on another wing of the ltc with a nurse who was definitely helping me get the gras...

Thanks rainbowsandsunshine,you hit the nail on the head,I attempted to talk to the DON,but she had already left,my problem is the medpass and reading the MAR is no problem,I've also gotten to know the residents pretty good also.But oh my the paperwor...

kinda thought that ,thanks

Yes,try LTC/Rehab facilities,I just recently took the boards and received my license and within 10 days of applying to hospitals and ltc's I finally got a job offer and so did another classmate of mine at another ltc. I live in jax,fl and I really wa...

Someone shared this article with me and I thought it was interesting http://nursingcrib.com/nursing-jobs/10000-nurses-needed-for-dohs-rn-heals-project/

I've recently gotten my license as a RN and I would be lying if I say I'm not worried I may not get a job even in home health? so how is everyone else coming along who just got licensed or graduated?

one of my classmates was just telling me about shands fellowship program but I don't know when they will be accepting applications, and I knew memorial hired new grads but,I thought they only did 2 or 3 times a year,do you know when shads will start ...

I've applied to a few places,a few of my classmates have gotten jobs thru homecare and one at a hospital and nursing at LTC. I have a potential job (maybe) with homehealth,but there keeps being a delay

I took my test on Jan 05, 2011, around 1:00 and yesterday after 2:00 I got my quick results, I live in Florida too, so yes it takes 48 hrs and it drove me crazy almost having to wait 48 hrs

I am a new graduate nurse who graduated in august for a year and a few months I have been working for a staffing agency where I am a sitter, since I have been working there I never ,ever got into any trouble nor did any nurses have any problems with ...

with me being an agency sitter I really would have to go out of my way to speak to the nurse and who know's the nurse could have threw me under the bus to in order to not be in trouble themself or either the patient's family was just plain old wicked...

Oh I wish that were the case the patient's family member knew darn well I was the sitter,this person insisted I call the nurse,and also was curious as to why I was there because when there the other day, there was another sitter who I ended up reliev...

Yeah, I thought that's what it was too, my supervisor said she's not going to fire me and if when I move on to get a career as a nurse she will give me a good reference,but I may not be able to work again for that particular hospital and being how ne...

I don't know I am agency and I only sit with patients,I do know in times past that a confused or sundowners patient wouldn't be put in restraints unless they hit someone,usually I walk around with them on the floor till I can get them in their room a...
