Hello, I will be a new grad in May. I am in Texas, will be graduating from a TX ADN program. What would i have to do to relocate to Florida and obtain my RN license ?? Has anyone done this ?? We may be relocating to the St. Petersburg area.... this has all come about very quickly. if anyone can share any info regarding licensure, jobs, and real estate in the area please help! Thanks !

I am glad someone started this thread. Is it possible for a psych nurse to eventually go into HH ?

kewl beans. I love your positive attitude ! Thanks.

OK I have a question...... So my question is , if a new grad starts on a psych unit, is she boxing herself in for psych and only psych ? I asked the nursing recruiter I have been speaking to this very question and he said "No because many of the psych patients have med surg problems too" .....so hopefully that's the case. any insight would be wonderful !

I graduate in 07 and plan to work in med surg for a while and then hopefully get into home health. I think I would enjoy the independence and freedom and the driving really does not bother me. We shall see !

you will get used to the gross factor. i think everyone has their little things that make them go ewww like me i hate feces ! a friend of mine hates yacking sounds when people vomit. that personally does not bother me in the least. You'll get used to it !

that's really strange, bc i live in the area and have never ever heard of any new grads having a hard time finding a job. it may be on med surg, but they get jobs ..

I feel like everyone knows more than me !

maybe do they mean, like friends, or family ? I would definitely have the same problem too if letters weren't allowed by teachers, etc.

i am so curious about various areas of nursing. what is a typical day in hospice (nursing) like ? thanks

thinking of you ... hugs.............

i wear one spritz of a light body splash from bath and body works - just a dab! :kiss

texancanadian, i'llbe surprised if you don't get in w a 11.5:cool:

the adn programs are competitive too. mine had 800 aps and 30 get in !

i'm just a student nurse, but can't one loose their license over something like this ??
