I begin the GN program on the 22nd & I have my ADN. I was offered a position in the ED at the Baptist Clay campus. The base pay is $23 and $1 extra with a BSN. 0.50 extra with a CNA license. They didn't require us to sign a contract, but we did sign a form that stated we were to have a BSN within 4 years I believe. Good luck!

On the application, they allowed us to select units that we were interested in. From what I was told, we interview with the units that we selected and go from there.

Ok so I received a call from Baptist Medical and was invited to interview on December 16. Anyone else hear back from them yet? Has anyone interviewed for the GN program at Baptist? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated :)

On my resume, I included clinical rotations and practicum. I didn't include a cover letter.

Thanks lucymalfoy, I have hope that there is something out there. If you don't mind me asking, where did you find employment as a GN? I currently hold a Bachelors in another area so I plan to begin an MSN/DNP bridge within a year. Thanks for your help. I appreciate your response.

Thanks NurseguyDrew. Your response is truly appreciated. I completed the application yesterday and my plan is to contact human resources sometime today to discuss the position. Do you have any information as to who whose over the program or who would be the best person to contact? I am moving from the Orlando area and it's such a bummer because I have my foot in the door here at Florida Hospital as this is my place of employment (5 years +) and also the location of my nursing practicum. I feel that it will be difficult or almost impossible to land a position there with no connects. I have been reading post on the GN residency at Baptist and I am becoming discouraged as I see many are having a difficult time landing positions as new nurses and I hear the program is very limited in how many candidates they can accept. Do you know if experience would help? I am not a nurse yet, but I do have experience in working as a tech with different populations (primarily Psych). Also, what would you recommend I do to better my chances of getting in? Thanks again for your help! :)

Thank you so very much for that information Lucy2811. That helps a lot!!

Hi! Do you mind sharing your experience at Wolfson's and the RN residency graduate program offered at Baptist?

Hello, I will be relocating to Jacksonville in January of 2016 once I pass the NCLEX. I am looking into graduate nursing programs in the area and have come across a few - Baptist Medical being my first choice. Can someone give me insight on what to expect and what's the best way to obtain a position with Baptist? I am very nervous as I hear it is very difficult to land an employment opportunity as a new nurse. I currently work at Florida Hospital I Orlando and have been there for a little over 5 years. Will this experience help? Please, any information that you have regarding the Graduate RN Residency Program would be helpful.

Hi, I am also looking into starting the GN program at Baptist Medical In January of 2016. I submitted my application this morning and will be calling HR in the morning to get more details on the process. Looks like we will run into the same problem because like you, I am unable to register for NCLEX until December 15, 2015 which is after the application deadline. I am hoping that this does not push me back to the April start. I will inform you of any additional details that I find tomorrow.
