I've accepted a position at Sacred Heart, Pensacola. Any advice on the hospital, surrounding area, what to expect / differences in California vs. Florida nursing - salaries? Thanks so much! Just trying to prepare myself for the move.

Just to keep trying to get your foot in the door! It's hard for new grads everywhere right now. I would do a search for new grad tips. Good luck!

Timothy are you currently living in Pensacola and new grad or student or? I'm from Los Angeles, 10 months experience in the SICU. Moving to Pensacola in 2 weeks. Nice to meet you.

MrsP, Is this starting pay for new grad/experienced/LVN/BSN? Or RN in general? Is this current info do you think? It's so hard to compare because I'm currently in Los Angeles where cost of living and also wages are much more. But $19 an hour for a...

I know they do at Sarcred Heart just from the conversation I had during the phone interview. I have just under a year experience.

I remember reading July something as well. It was probably in the job posting which is no longer there.

Thanks so much for the update. I applied to Tele, Med Surg, and Gerontology. Good luck all! :) I sure wish these programs would open up.

Hi all, I will be a new grad in San Diego CA pretty soon and I'm pretty worried about the job market. My hubby will be out of work on August 31 of this year so I'm trying to prepare now. Can anybody tell me which states are the most new grad frien...

Congratulations!!! You have been so supportive to everybody on the boards. You'll be a great nurse!

Hi all, I just graduated and noticed that the new grad job listing is still posted. I am applying today. How is it going? Have you started at this hospital yet? I'm new to the area, graduated school in San Diego county.

ExPharma Girl, I'm curious what state you are moving to?

Not I.

I'm out as well. I do feel we will all land where we are supposed to so stay positive! I gotta admit though, it STINGS! It's my first rejection email. We'll find our way. xoxo to all This is a nice sounding board and nice to know we are not alon...

Thank you for the update. :) I guess it must take a while to organize this.

They do let us know either way right? Ugh. The waiting is terrible.

Does anybody else keep checking their status on the Scripps website?

I'm sure they are still making calls. They said they would let us know EITHER WAY, which is nice. They probably have to figure out where they still have room. For example: if they offer somebody a choice between Chula Vista and Encinitas.

I interviewed May 2 and haven't heard back either way. Has anybody received the dreaded email?

eep! I'm like glued to my phone/email. Congrats to those who received offers! It is so hard to get that first job and Scripps would be AMAZING!

Oh wow thanks for letting us know!! I would have freaked out seeing a Scripps email. Congrats!!!!!

I am scared to check my email becuase they said a phonecall means yes and an email is a no...

I am living in dread of my email, lol

For the regular residency, it was the brunette lady that was at the front desk, handing us the paperwork. I even questioned her on it. I mentioned that it says June 5th online and she said, no, they need the rooms back before then. Hopefully it's ...

I also sent thank you emails and did not receive any response. They said they would let us know by May 20 which is much better than May 29 -June 5 like it says on the website.

Does anybody know for certain how many they are hiring? I thought the rep said 45-50 new grads for the regular residency but I keep hearing 80 from other people? Just curious. Waiting stinks. ;P
