  1. Graduate in December. Apply for jobs now?

    land64shark replied to PICUFL's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I've spoken to a couple of recruiters from different hospitals and they both said to apply mid to late October. We have a career fair at school set for Oct.

  2. Northside Hospital and Heart Institute ST Petes

    land64shark replied to charlierose's topic in Florida Nursing

    Well, I wouldn't put it so roughly, but Northside does seem to have staffing issues more than other places. This may be why there seems to be a higher ratio of foreign nurses there than elsewhere. It...

  3. New Grad, Sad Resume

    land64shark posted a topic in General Nursing

    I will graduate in December and would like to start applying for positions. I don't have a current resume and am baffled as to what I should include in it. I know there have been numerous threads on...

  4. New Grad, Sad Resume

    land64shark replied to land64shark's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you all for your responses. I feel a little better. Actually, I was never worried about being able to find "a" job. I know hospitals are begging for nurses, especially here in Florida. I guess...

  6. SPC nursing students

    land64shark replied to time4masters's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'll be level 4 this semester. Kiss your free time good-bye because you won't have any. But I also can't believe how fast the time has gone. Good

  7. Dont move to florida

    land64shark replied to skuterkomputer rn's topic in Florida Nursing

    I've been in the Clearwater/St. Pete area for 20 years now. I can't wait to get out of here and become a "half-back". (Someone who moved to Florida from up north and then moves half-way back to the...

  8. "Traditional Orientation Programs" or "RN Residency Programs"?

    land64shark replied to nurseJ88's topic in First Year After Licensure

  9. Is It Too Early To Attend Job Fair?

    land64shark posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I'll be graduating in December. One of the local hospitals advertised an RN Career Fair in mid August. Do you think it appropriate for me to go or would I be jumping the

  10. Is It Too Early To Attend Job Fair?

    land64shark replied to land64shark's topic in Nursing Career

    Well, I do know that one local hospital's new grad Versant cohort that is to start in Feb, 2008 began taking apps at the beginning of

  11. Versant Program anyone?

    land64shark replied to abbythetabby's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'd like updates too. I'm also interested in a Versant program at a children's hospital in town. Did you find that their pay was less than other local hospitals? Did you have to commit to two years...

  12. Versant Program

    land64shark replied to yummo's topic in Florida Nursing

    I asked this question recently myself and got no response. Past questions from others didn't fare much better. Surely there must be people who've experienced Versant,

  13. Salary to expect as a new grad nurse

    land64shark replied to ashfost's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wow! That's only $11.25/hr U.S.! That's a crime! (My in-laws were from

  15. To the new grad ADN nurses...

    land64shark replied to NurseLatteDNP's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I graduate with my ADN in December. We have no nursing classes over the summer so I am taking American Government and Intro to Music online right now. After I graduate, I will take Spanish 1 in...

  16. $10,000 penalty if you leave the ICU

    land64shark replied to DrugReptoNurse's topic in MICU, SICU

    Just a thought, but it almost sounds like it could be more beneficial for the units to hire ADN's instead of BSN nurses because the ADN's won't be running off for advanced degrees as quickly. I'm not...

  17. Are nurses in other nations bilingual? Should US be?

    land64shark replied to **nurse**'s topic in General Nursing

    Not a whole lot of tolerance in this thread. I agree with Tweety about the "patriotic" resistance, but there is also prejudice. My own husband is vehamently opposed to having bilingual traffic signs...

  18. Nursing school, setting you up for failure???

    land64shark replied to kstec's topic in General Students

    Here's what I've noticed. The students that barely passed the first semester, didn't pass level 2. Those that re-took level 2 barely passed or didn't make it through level 3. I've only just finished...

  20. Clinical Sites in Tampa

    land64shark replied to MB37's topic in Florida Nursing

    I had clinicals at Bayfront and All Children's this semester. I LOVED All Children's! Bayfront was generally a good experience. I've also had clinicals at Mease Countryside and very much enjoyed it...

  21. Loan Forgiveness????

    land64shark replied to jodyangel's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Florida has one. It's called the Nursing Student Loan Forgiveness Program. They pay $4000 a year up to 4 years for working fulltime in certain hospitals/other areas. Honestly, most of the hospitals in...

  22. How long to wait for Madame Placenta??

    land64shark replied to Elvish's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Me too! I swear they had 10 people holding me down on the table. There is no way to describe the

  23. How Different is the PN-NCLEX From the RN-NCLEX?

    land64shark posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm wondering because I'm just finishing up my 3rd semester of 4 in an ADN program. We've obviously been focussing our learning to the RN-NCLEX. I'm thinking of taking the PN-NCLEX on a whim, as we...

  24. >90 hr rule/college loans

    land64shark replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in LPN to RN

    land64shark replied to redicedtea's topic in First Year After Licensure
