Sorry! An Associate Degree in Nursing

I would love to work at Moffit but I only have an ADN with a BA in psych. Their GN program says you must have a BSN unless you already work there:( I currently work as a pct in a Cancer institute connected to a hospital. I've worked there for more...

I was contacted to discuss interviewing for Bayfront GN program. Has anyone heard anything about the program or does anyone work there now. What is their pay compared to the other hospitals in Tampa/St. Pete? I really haven't heard to much either ...

Thanks for letting me know, but that pay rate is much lower than I've heard of in MD or even Florida.

They closed in 2014! I just looked it up.

That is not a stupid question at all! That's what this forum is for....to offer support, information, suggestions, advice etc..... I have actually applied to some of the nurse residency positions but have never been called. Two of them have said...

Well, I really loved it when I lived in St. Pete for college. I also lived in Orlando for a few years which was OK but I preferred the west coast. I did interview at Duke and even went to their new grad "hiring" event, which was more like speed dat...

I'm not sure. Where are you working now? Do you live in Tampa?

No I did a skype interview since I live in MD. Not sure what the result will be since it was yesterday.

Yes that's what it stands for. I wish Bayfront had more specialties but with All Children's being so close, I guess they can't compete!

But Bayfront doesn't have pediatrics from what I understand. Unless you were referring to her adult daughter?

I am so sorry to hear how difficult it's been for you. I truly can relate to your pain because I fear that when I finally do get my first nursing job, I might not measure up either. I've been out of school since May and my confidence in my skills d...

Yes. I thought it was kind of a lot myself. They just consider it a "screening". Then I find out that they pay you less during the first I think 16 weeks of training. It depends on the exact location as to how much less. This one wasn't too bad....

I was stressed doing it, but I guess it went OK because they ended up calling me. I decided to hold off though since they said I'd have to fly out for the interview and I was supposed to pick out of the hospitals and they'd see if there was a match ...

Just curious if you ended up getting a job at Bayfront or any of the other hospitals you mentioned. I was contacted to talk with them about setting up a phone interview and then in person interview for the GN program starting in February. I live in...

I hate to say it, and this is just from my experience, but, I wouldn't hold out too much for this one. I had a very similar experience. The manager basically went on and on about what she expects and what she won't tolerate. Even going so far as t...

Are you still in the program? How do you like working there?

I think it's awesome that you are offering to help others since you know how much of a struggle it is trying to make it on your own in a new career and living somewhere unfamiliar far from your former home. I can relate to those struggles, because I...

I live in Maryland and am also having a hard time getting my first RN job. I am looking at jobs in Florida as well as MD and currently work as a PCT in a hospital outpatient Cancer center. They don't hire new grads, so I need to get at least 1 yr i...

I was just contacted by a Florida Hospital recruiter for the Orlando area to set up a skype interview for Florida Hospital Altamonte Springs. I had hoped that I would get a chance for another one of the other Orlando locations (Orlando, Celebration...

I am not sure who gave you this info, but I interviewed for a position several months ago at UMMC as a new grad and the base pay was lower than that....unless you get more for having a BSN. But it was more in the 26$/range and then you have to pay f...

I think I'm gonna check it out. It will have to wait though since I have to work today. I do love working with kids at least when I worked with them in the school system as substitute teacher, teacher asst. and special ed asst. I really liked work...

Oh, and for the StaRN west Florida, the recruiter said they do not offer Skype interviews and she said I'd have to decide if I wanted to fly down and stay in a hotel at my expense!

I am definitely going to get the BSN, but was hoping to do it with the help of my employer while I'm working as an RN. I have tried Hopkins, and they had contacted me about an oncology floor position and said to list the days/times I could interview...

That's what I'm afraid of if I fly out for the StaRN west Florida and then dont' get offered the job. It seems like they have a lot of people going for those jobs. I looked at Moffitt, but I don't have a BSN which they require for their residency. ...
