Hi! Is anyone else a new grad applying for the September/October start date for FL Hospital's GN program? I graduated earlier in July and now I'm just waiting until they open the application so I can go ahead and apply. Has anyone heard how many new...

Congrats blue1015! It's seriously the best feeling ever knowing that you're DONE studying and officially a Registered Nurse! And good luck allerina with your interviews and taking boards! I just wonder if Florida Hospital is starting to open up more ...

I'm relatively new to the Daytona area and I'm looking for some feedback r/t Halifax Health... has anyone worked there as a nurse? Also, does anyone know what the base rate of pay is at Halifax for a GN with a BSN? I'm also applying to Florida Hospi...

blue1015, I have heard nothing but good things about Baptist! Hopefully you'll hear back from them soon after you apply! I actually also applied to FH Fish Memorial and never heard anything. I know for a fact that FH Flagler is hiring, but that's in ...

Have you looked into Baptist Health's GN residency programs? I actually looked into theirs and I think they have one that is opening at the beginning of September. And you should be just fine getting a job with your ADN! Don't sweat it too much :) Yo...

Thank you allerina! I definitely think it's smart to not put all of your eggs in one basket considering how quickly Florida Hospital seems to be filling a lot of their spots for GNs. And blue1015, it sounds like you're doing a great job prepping! I'...

That's good that you've been using the QBank. Do as many practice questions as possible and then remediate between now and when you take NCLEX because I think that's the only way to really become good at the reasoning and to learn to think the way yo...

So I graduated last month with my BSN and applied to a graduate nurse program through one of the major hospitals in my area. I was SUPER excited to get a call inviting me in for an interview next week for the Emergency Department Nurse Internship Pro...

If you've done Kaplan, you should be good to go! Just do as many practice questions as you can from the QBank and I'm sure you'll pass NCLEX with no problem! Good luck! Also, I don't know for sure, but I don't think that what you put as your 3 prefe...

Anyone???

Also, about your licensing question: it can be a couple of days or a week or 2. It just depends on how quickly the board processes your scores and information. Mine is taking forever for some reason... even though Pearson shows that I passed.

Yeah I'm pretty annoyed, to say the least. I applied through the main GN program, then got called for an interview for EDNIP. My friend did the same thing and just got called for a Peds interview at the children's hospital with PICU and NICU. I just ...

Yeah I've heard it's pretty expensive... I was lucky and our school actually provided the funding for my class to take a Kaplan course. I definitely think it helped. Kaplan questions are very similar to what is on the NCLEX. I got some bad news today...

I just took it and passed! It's tough, but definitely doable if you prepare well. I used Kaplan to review.

Yes, please keep us posted when y'all hear anything! I hope you get a call in the next couple of days! Have you guys already taken NCLEX?

Thank you so much!! I'm nervous, but I'm just going to go in with a lot of confidence. I've definitely been trying to prepare as well as I can and I've already been thinking of some questions to ask the interviewers. I appreciate your suggestions!

Thank you so much for the advice!

I got the same e-mail. So as long as your status still says one of those that the e-mail specified, you're good to go!

This is great advice! I will definitely prepare for these types of questions and be sure that I have some questions for them as well. Thank you so much!!

I hope you guys hear something soon! Update us when you do! :)

I went to a hiring event a few months ago and, when I talked to HR, she told me that there were some units that had already requested that my application/info be sent over to them. So I think once you hear from someone with HR, they should be able to...

Thank you so much for the info! I'll be sure to check out those articles!

I'm sure you are going to hear from HR soon! I get the impression sometimes it takes them a little while to contact people. Did you let your practicum floor know how interested you were in working there? They may have already requested your info. If...
