Please... take this advice... go straight to ICU. Just don't be scared about stupid stuff that some new grads are scared/nervous about (like priming IV tubing). Practice, read, learn, study do whatever it takes. Bust your bottom breathing in ICU mate...

Wow, what would you do for extra $? Just curious.

Any new input for this thread

Anything new?

While I believe your managers response was unprofessional to say the least, a bit exaggerated and maybe stems from disappointment more than anything else, I've been in a similar situation. I've gotten to the "other side" (new job) and realized everyt...

So perfectly said.

Sigh, really feeling burned out bc of this. REALLY BURNED OUT. I appreciate your efforts though.

Heyyy there! Well, it may be easier to list the good ones since the hospitals with bad conditions are too many. I for one can vouch for Baptist Hospital system. The pay is decent, patient ratios are...sketchy. It really depends on which floor you wor...

What is it that CRNA's like about their job so much? I don't know because I'm not even in ICU yet so I'm not sure what I would be exposed to but I do know certain things about myself and am wondering what would suit me best. So what is it about CRNA...

I love that you are making your life fit your dreams by having the opportunity to work in a different setting and continue with your passion. You ought to experience that satisfaction. Good for you and good luck. Be blessed.

Nailed it. I used to love bedside nursing, I used to be able to give TLC...worked in oncology 10 years and never comforted family while staying dry-eyed myself. Now that we are married to computers patient perception is they are secondary to document...

so hilarious

...Literally applied for 518+ (that's when I stopped counting) across the country in the span of 8 months. I was a new grad then (last year) and landed my first position in March of this year. Back at it now for a per diem position with 4 months of e...

I landed my first RN job in Jan. and I wanted to know your opinion on how to apply for a per diem position with just 4-5 months experience on my belt. I feel like I'm getting the jist of nursing and could take on a shift on a med-surg floor or someth...

As many have mentioned on all nurses before, WGU?

Sigh. I'm still waiting for a call back from the recruiters in Tampa & Carrollwood. My first contact was late November/early December. I still haven't gotten a follow up call scheduling an interview. Try Orlando if that's an option for you, they ...

Hey guys so what would you do? Fl Hospital Critical care position - moving away from parents & having to pay rent. ASN rate from beginning of training (~23 or so). 2 year contract. Vs Local StaRN program. $15 hourly during training (13-14 weeks...

Thank you so much for replying. Yes it is an HCA facility.

i got a call for Med Surg as well. I don't know if I should hold out to interview with Baptist. I have a start date with a loca HCA program - I think Parallon- starting next week.

Did you graduate with a BSN?

Yayy people are replying! Thanks so much guys! But now, I'm really curious! Why not FL Hospital?

Thank you. I totally agree with that but...it's what I've been offered (my only offer) in Miami. All Miami StaRN programs are offering that during their 14 week training (7 didactic 7 preceptorship). Does it not make a difference to you even if the ...

bump Please anyone has any new information about this program? Or any new information of ANYWHERE in S. FL hiring new grads?

So, we're student/nclex twins and I'm really excited because I've been meaning to find someone in a similar situation as me, having used Uworld and not passed. I knew I didn't use it correctly but I still felt like nothing I used (Hurst or Uworld) wo...

Hi guys, I'm really in a bind here and would appreciate some input. I'm going to give you as much as I can pertaining to this. I'm wondering if I should take advanced med surg (med surg 2) during the summer with its clinical (5 weeks) followed immed...
