I have an opportunity to work at cancer clinic, but I'm not sure if I want to. Would working five 8hr shift be better than three 12hr shifts? The clinic is also a 40 minute commute where my job now is only a 17 minute commute. I'm also afraid of a p...

Has anyone taken this? Thoughts? I just took the test & didn't make high enough although I made a 100 on every assignment the first time & used every resource while taking the test. I was feeling pretty confident until I saw my score. Total B...

I have my BSN. Working on my OCN. I want to become an oncology NP. How do I get there? & can I do it online? Thanks!

So yesterday was one year I have worked on a med/surg/oncology floor. We mostly get surgical pts & some medical...& occasionally a cancer pt here & there. My ultimate goal is to be an oncology nurse. I got my chemo certification a few mon...

Thanks so much for you reply! I've actually already turned down two jobs at cancer centers...they didn't feel right to me. So I am being picky about my 2nd job bc i do want to stay somewhere a long time. As for being charge & precepting...these a...

I ended up turning the job down. I was too conflicted about the 80 mi round trip 5x a week, & in my interview was told I would be mixing my chemo as well which made me uncomfortable. Since then turned down another oncology clinic job due to they ...

If you're wanting to do oncology, I suggest getting your chemo certification soon. After I graduated, I got my ACLS & then chemo. Good Luck! I wanted to do oncology too right out of college. I think it's the best field!

The class is all online and takes at most a month. You can go at your own pace. Some finish sooner if they're renewing.

I didn't see this til now...my apologies. But I did end up retaking the test & made an A...go figure. How did you do?

Is your doctor afraid of the cancer getting worse or coming back? Are you in remission? I had leukemia 6 years ago & opted out of doing a stem cell transplant. I just did 6 months of chemo & achieved remission after 2 months of treatment. &am...

I moved to FL last year as a new grad & it only took me 2 months to find a job. It def helps to have your BSN! I think that's why it didn't take as long. I know a friend & it almost took her a year to find a job with just her ASN.

Go ahead & get your ACLS maybe even your PALS.

I'm not sure how much experience is required but I've worked a year on my floor & have my chemo certification

Any nurses where these types of shoes? I'm tired of wearing my nikes & want something cute, but I do NOT want to wear clogs... or anything of the sort. I'm 24 years old & like skinny pant scrubs so I think TOMS, Vans, or some chucks would loo...

My base pay is $21/hr for a new grad. I get paid more since I work nights: $2.75 more from 7p-12a $4.75 more from 11a-7a. The scenery is great though. I love living here.

Health First & Wuesthoff are the 2 bigger healthcare facilities. Health First owns like 4 hospitals & other clinics. Wuesthoff owns 2 hospitals & other clinics. I would look into those first.

The Melbourne/Viera/Rockledge area. Where are you?

1) Central FL 2) $21/hr base pay (not sure what the diffs are) 3) New Grad 4) MedSurg/Oncology I start July 7th!

Graduated Dec 2013 with my BSN. Passed my NCLEX in January & licensed in GA..didn't apply for jobs bc I found out not long after my husband was getting stationed in FL in a couple months. Moved to FL in March, got my FL licensed in April, applied...

Also, when I moved down here, several nurses told me to go ahead & get my ACLS certification. Idk if that helped me land a job or not, but during my interview, the nurse managers seemed impressed that I already went ahead & got it.

I moved to the central FL area in March, got my FL license in April & it took 2 months for me to get a job. I'm also a new grad, but I do have my BSN. How long have you been looking?

I did not volunteer, have an externship or worked at a hospital lol.

I passed the NCLEX on Jan 7th, moved to a different state in March...took a month to get my new license & this morning I got a job offer! I start July 7th working on a medsurg/oncology floor! "7" must be my lucky number! I was surprised how fast ...

I have an interview tomorrow for a med/surg position, & I'm super nervous. I was talking to my mom about what to say & I brought up my hx of cancer. She said I probably shouldn't mention it because whoever is interviewing me might assume I...

I heard the same thing! It took one of my friends 4 months to find a job. Another almost a year. There is A LOT of ADN programs here so if you have your BSN, you tend to get a job quicker. Its only been 2 months since I got my FL lisence, & I alr...
