    NYtoFLRN replied to Jnapleks's topic in Florida Nursing

    NYtoFLRN replied to trn2015's topic in Florida Nursing

    NYtoFLRN replied to laurah1976's topic in Florida Nursing

    I can't totally weigh in on this since I'm new to FL and I'm a new grad, but I was recently hired in the Tampa area at a base of $24.28. But I did want to comment to remind you that Florida has no...

  6. Florida Hospital Graduate Nurse Program July/August 2015

    NYtoFLRN replied to kjhinckley's topic in Florida Nursing

    I decided to apply directly to the Florida board since I wasn't really intending to look for a job in NY :). I know that that's the fastest way to do it if you 100% know you plan on working in...

    NYtoFLRN replied to Jnapleks's topic in Florida Nursing

  10. Upstate jobs? Where?

    NYtoFLRN replied to FloridaBeagle's topic in New York Nursing

    Not anywhere near the Hudson, but look into Buffalo. Plenty of jobs here, and lots of different hospitals. A few of the hospitals are offering sign-on bonuses for experienced RNs. I just finished my...

  11. Wrongful termination?

    NYtoFLRN replied to greygooseuria's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm sorry, but the comments re: you not being eligible for unemployment are actually not 100% correct. Putting in a resignation notice is a courtesy to your employer- it's not a binding contract. You...

  14. Offered a position, worried about drug test and legitimately prescribed ADD meds

    NYtoFLRN replied to NYtoFLRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm inclined to, but I just got nervous with how things were worded in the disclosure from the hospital. Was just looking to see if anyone had any personal experience with this or any insight that I...

  15. NY-Presbyterian RNs here?

    NYtoFLRN replied to nycmaybe's topic in New York Nursing

    I would also suggest you look around Inwood/Washington Heights west of broadway. It's not necessarily 'hip and trendy' but it has a good solid community feel and is pretty quiet. More affordable than...

  18. Keep getting automatic rejections. Getting discouraged

    NYtoFLRN replied to NYtoFLRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thank you all for the tips! Of the 11 applications I put in so far 7 were for nurse residency positions, which is why I was so discouraged when I got automatic rejections for those. I think I was...

  20. Students asking for free money

    NYtoFLRN replied to l.a.m.b's topic in General Students

    I'd like to just make two quick points based on what Calivianya said: 1) State schools can be expensive too. I went to a state school and still graduated with close to $70k in student loans just...

    NYtoFLRN replied to mordydovid's topic in New York Nursing

  22. Nursing in NYC?

    NYtoFLRN replied to LenaH19's topic in New York Nursing

    You mention that you're interested in NYU and Hunter. Just so you know, the way Hunter works you have to be a matriculated student BEFORE applying to be a nursing student. They only accept one batch...

  23. UB ABS 2015

    NYtoFLRN replied to Silvvvvvv's topic in New York Nursing

    The timeline for all of that is really up to you. It takes a couple of weeks after graduation for UB to send all of the information to the state board to get you authorized to sit for the NCLEX. Once...

  25. Upstate NY Jobs

    NYtoFLRN replied to movingforwardRN's topic in New York Nursing

    This doesn't really answer your question, but if you're moving upstate you should consider Buffalo. I just moved here from NYC about 6 months ago and it's actually not a terrible place to be. There is...
