  1. Florida hospitals and apartment

    Florida Hospital Orlando also has the Health Village surrounding it which has some pricier apartments...The Ivy I think they're called. But they're literally around the corner.
  2. Florida hospitals and apartment

    I work for Florida Hospital Orlando in Central Florida and live in Sanford/Lake Mary area. I can tell you at least for here, the "sunrail" is an awesome commuter train that runs right to FH Orlando! There is an apartment right next to the Lake Mary s...
  3. Hello Everyone! I am going to be graduating with my ADN in May and am planning to relocate back to Central Florida from Southeast Missouri (I moved here in 2007 with family and I'm very much looking forward to this move!). I applied for the July/Augu...
  4. Hello All- I'm currently working on my last class for my BSN online - YES! It's the dreaded Capstone course and I have to come up with a process improvement project for it that I can put into play at work. I am currently working in a very large Emerg...
  5. Communication from ER to Floor RNs

    Thanks. I'll have to check that out
  6. Florida Hospital Graduate Nurse Program July/August 2015

    Blue, I'm not a man so I cannot help you there but my GPA from my ADN was also less than a 3.0 and they never brought it up to me. But I ended up going to a hiring event and that's when they interviewed me even though I was still under consideration ...

    I don't think anyone starts until August. I'm Med/Surg and start August 10th.
  8. Florida Hospital Graduate Nurse Program July/August 2015

    Hey! Yes I attended the hiring event. I started getting nervous when I saw people just in and out with HR but they ended up taking me up for an interview on 3rd for Med/Surg and called me three days later to offer me the job! I was so glad I went!
  9. Are the horror stories true?

    Just so you all know, FH Med/Surg floors do not require a two year contract for new grads.
  10. GoFundMe Thoughts?

    I think that's a stupid reason to have one of those accounts. I am a 22y/o single mom of a 16-month-old and a new grad. I worked my butt off the last four years as a CNA and put myself through a community college for my ADN. I had to get student loan...
  11. New grads in the ER

    I recently applied and interviewed for a graduate nurse program in Florida. We could name which three areas were our preferences to have applications sent. I am already working as a graduate nurse in another state (med/surg) and I have been a CNA 4+ ...

    Has anyone had any luck with the Hiring Events? I had a phone interview with HR on Tuesday and she said she was going to forward me on. Wondering if I should try to attend the one Tuesday if I don't hear back by then?

    Wow, that's awesome! Are you BSN or ADN? Congratulations :)
  14. Are the horror stories true?

    What are the nurse to patient ratios there? I am trying to relocate back to Florida from Missouri and the ratio here is 6:1 (ideally) which actually translates often times to as many as 9:1. This is on a Med/Surg floor.
  15. Florida Hospital Graduate Nurse Program July/August 2015

    So a bit of light has been cast on my situation! After being rejected in March (still in my final semester and working as a CNA), I made contact with an HR Recruiter who wanted my resume and said to apply again for the program. I updated everything l...
  16. Florida Hospital Graduate Nurse Program July/August 2015

    Thanks everyone for all the comments and advice! I was not chosen for an interview, unfortunately. Trying not to be discouraged. I am going to continue to apply and hope for the best. I will be starting my BSN June 8th and I'm hoping that will help m...
  17. Florida Hospital Graduate Nurse Program July/August 2015

    Thank you! It has only been 6 days since I applied haha so I am remaining hopeful I will hear something. My status still says "Under Initial Review". Thanks for all the help!
  18. Florida Hospital Graduate Nurse Program July/August 2015

    How long ago did you apply and when did you first hear from them?
  19. Florida Hospital Graduate Nurse Program July/August 2015

    I live out of state. Is calling HR the best thing for me to do? Not sure if it would help or not but I applied to a ton of other RN jobs in the Orlando, Altamonte, Kissimmee, Celebration, and East Orlando facilities. I was hoping to stay closer to Or...
  20. Florida Hospital Graduate Nurse Program July/August 2015

    Sounds good! Fingers crossed for us! :)
  21. Florida Hospital Graduate Nurse Program July/August 2015

    That's okay! Thanks for the response. I uploaded my resume and wasn't sure exactly how to upload the unofficial transcripts so I just took screenshots and sent them that way. Hope that's good enough!
  22. Florida Hospital Graduate Nurse Program July/August 2015

    Me too! I sent you a PM :)
  23. Florida Hospital Graduate Nurse Program July/August 2015

    When did you apply? Mine says the same thing but so far nothing...I'm praying I'll hear either way soon! Good luck to you too 😊
  24. Florida Hospital new graduate July 2015

    I actually just created a thread about this lol...I applied yesterday evening and am hoping to relocate back home to Central Florida from Southeast Missouri. My status has said Under Initial Review since this morning....what is yours saying?
