1. unpaid orientation florida hospital/medical staffing network

   CSteffen_RN replied to tdobczyk's topic in Florida

   All of the hospitals that I have worked at allowed me to do the module while I was on the clock therefore paying me for them. I think the agency should do the right thing and reimburse you for time spent at home working on the modules, although it so...

   CSteffen_RN replied to jlhiatt's topic in Florida

   I used to work for HCA in Largo, FL so I'd suggest staying away from them if you can. There's a noticeable culture of profits over patients there as opposed to a nonprofit chain. I've also heard bad news regarding Florida Hospital. They just recently...
