   Sounds like a good problem to have until you're actually paying ~ 2500/month a back for your education.

   Working in a rural area sounds good in theory until you're actually living in a rural area. Anyways, good luck everyone.

   39 months @ 138k not including cost of living. What's the appeal with this school? Why would anybody want to go here if they weren't geographically tied down to a location?

5. new grad RN with 2 job offers, what would you do??

   CCRNdude replied to zumbaRN4's topic in New Nurse

   If you want to work in ICU, I would go with hospital #2. I work with a couple of former Hoag employees (one of them being an ex-nurse manager), and neither had great things to say, other than that it's in an awesome location. As a new grad, I had 2 o...

   Barry posted outcomes for the graduating class of 2016. There was a 24 percent attrition rate for the class. I'm coming from out of state, so I don't really know anybody who has graduated from the program. I know most of you guys are from FL, so some...

   The interview was quick and easy. It almost seems like not enough time to sell yourself, but overall I got good vibes from the faculty. They were all nice, and they do their best to make you comfortable, which I liked. Even during the interview they ...

    I asked how many spots they have left in the program and was told 25-30. Maybe some spots opened up because other people accepted offers from other schools? I recently shadowed again and spoke with the director of the program at the place I shadowed....

11. Should ICU get more pay than floor nursing?!?

    CCRNdude replied to francoml's topic in MICU

    Also, a couple of salary sites state that ICU/critical care salaries are 5-7% higher than the average RN salary. Why is this? Are individuals who have worked both the floors and ICU the only ones that are able to deliver an unbiased response to the O...

    CCRNdude replied to francoml's topic in MICU

    I just enjoy debate for the sake of debating. I honestly don't care either way. I don't mean to offend anyone. I'll be the first to say that med/surg is hard work. However, we're all entitled to an opinion. To the individual who asked if ICU housekee...

    I think you missed the point of the post.

    I guess I misspoke, sorry. I was told 25-30 spots opened up. I assumed incorrectly.

15. Should ICU get more pay than floor nursing?!?

    CCRNdude replied to francoml's topic in MICU

    I've worked both the floor and the ICU. Considering that hospitals charge an arm and a leg for ICU care, and the ICU nurses are with the patient 24/7, I do think that ICU nurses should be paid a least a little more. I base this opinion on hospital re...
