That's good that she said that, but the contract you sign says you have to work on the same unit. At least that is what they made my friend sign who is currently in the first year of the program. So, you found a job in central FL? That's awesome! ...

Thanks for the info! I'm glad to hear such positive things about Pinellas. But as far as Tampa's program, they actually changed it in the last year or so and you do have to stay on the same unit for 2 years. That is in the current contract they ma...

I have a new grad residency interview where I will have the chance to interview for multiple units. This was very helpful for me and has given me some ideas on how to prepare. If you have any other suggestions or other areas where I should focus on...

Any news yet? If not, I would try to call HR and ask what them what are the next steps in the process. Explain that you interviewed several weeks ago and have not been notified of the outcome. I really hope you have heard by now and you got the jo...

I had to laugh about the arrest thing. I am pretty boring in that regard. I don't drink, smoke do drugs, and I go to church every Sunday. I was raised Catholic and went to Catholic grade school. My last employer gave me very good reviews and this...

I am really having a hard time and am in a pretty bad situation. I recently relocated to Florida for a nurse residency job. During the orientation period we rotated through different units to see where we would like to begin our training with a pre...

I have been applying to several of the HCA StaRN programs in Florida and was contacted by 2 different recruiters, one for the west florida hospitals and the other for Ocala Regional Medical Center. I was so excited after waiting so long, but now I'...

That's encouraging to hear! I'm glad you had such a good experience.

Do you work there now? How do you like it if you do?

I had actually spoken to someone there when I had already accepted this job but hadn't started. She was willing to get me an interview and seemed very nice. I was planning to do that tomorrow. It would probably require me to end up moving but I do...

Yes. I BA in psych, but not the BSN.

I am happy to say that, pending the background check and references, I got an offer to join the nurse residency program at Florida Hospital Tampa! I had been waiting and waiting for the recruiter to find out if they'd do a skype interview since I co...

Fletcher Avenue. I'll look those up. Thanks!

I will be interviewing sometime next week for a GN residency in Tampa next week. I have no idea if I have a chance, but I have worked so hard to even get an interview. I'm praying it will work out. The problem is that I will have very little time...

I tried to PM you just now and it says your mailbox is full. Did you get my PM yesterday?

I will be interviewing sometime next week for a GN residency in Tampa next week. I have no idea if I have a chance, but I have worked so hard to even get an interview, I'm praying it will work out. The problem is that I will have very little time t...

Thanks so much! I'm glad that you are getting some opportunities too! I will say some prayers for you that you get whichever one is going to make you happy and where you can use your talents and skills. We'll have to check back with each other tom...

I can't believe it! I finally got confirmation that I will have a phone interview tomorrow! I can't even count how many times I called the recruiter. I hated to be annoying, but i just couldn't give up! Now I'm glad I didn't. So, I'm praying tha...

That is weird! Maybe you have to read them to get them out of your inbox? Anyway, I'm really happy for you! I know it must have been stressful with all of the interviews, but it looks like you did really well! I on the other hand have not been ha...

I just tried to reply to your message, but it says your message box has to be cleared to accept any more messages!

Thanks for the info! But now I'm not even sure if this skype interview is gonna happen in time. The recruiter has kept promising that it was going to happen, but has taken so long to get things organized and keeps saying he can't get in touch with ...

I had to reread your post after reading all of the replies. From what I hear from you, I think you really do like your job, but you are just now experiencing that most of the problems in every work place involves figuring out how to work with and ge...

Thank you so much! I will check those out. I appreciate the offer if I run into trouble. When you say "we" who are you referring to if you don't mind me asking? It has been an awful few days trying to get through a brutal snow storm. I have shov...

Well, I don't have an offer yet, but I'm supposed to have a skype interview this week and find out that day. The program starts 2/22 but I think you have to be there at least the week before so I would have to figure all of this out pretty fast! I...
