Hi, Is there anyone out there who has experience working for this hospital? I'm considering whether or not to apply for scholarship with them, but of course they want the work commitment for it. Is it a good move or will I live to regret it? Bogeydo...

keep us updated on your progress. Hopefully it will go smoothly. I just got my check from Baptist the other day. I will say one thing for them, they have been extremely prompt in processing my scholarship.

I'm hoping to work at Baptist South also, but I'll take what I can get. I just signed a scholarship work assignment with them. Flager Hospital in St. Augustine is actually closer for me. Have you checked them out? I stopped there and they gave me...

I talked to the recruiter about the new hospital yesterday. It will open in 2/05. If you go the the Baptist web site and look under their career section you can search the availabe positions that they are hiring for. If you need any more informati...

I know the neighborhood pretty well. I'm from Newark originally but I've lived down the shore for the last 14 years. By the name Fatima I'm guessing that your Portugese, I only say that because my grandfather was from Portugual and lived there at ...

the way I understand it is this, after they abuse us and wear us down enough we ARE the clinical for the 2nd semester nurses. Only, kidding, this program doesn't start clinical till 2nd semester. But 2nd semester is worse. It's 19 credits plus cl...

Fatima, Thank you so much so few people appreciate my comedy! Where are you going to school? I'm in NJ tooo. Bogeydog

There sure is room in that corner for two!! We can wipe the drool off each other. I wonder if we could get clinical hours credit for that?!

Alot of the time I grab a high protein bar. The slimfast 1 carb bar white rhasberry chocolate is very good. Sometimes I'll have a few slices of cheese. I always keep a rotiserrie (spelling:o ) chicken on hand to pick on. I actually have some great...

Hi, I too did Atkins and lost a considerable amount of weight. You do have to remember though to drink lots of water everyday because Atkins is rough on your kidneys. (So my nutrition professor says) Goodluck Bogeydog

Thanks to everyone who responded. Some of the stories are so great. To Helllo Nurse, you wouldn't be the first nurse that wanted to trade jobs with me! Maybe we could switch off every other week? Sort of balance the stress level. The more I think...

Dear Froggy Legs. Thanks so much for the honest answer. I knew I couldn't be the only one! Bogeydog
