I am from California and now live in Florida and will be here for the next 3-5 years. My CA license is up for renewal... is it worth renewing even though I most likely will not be practicing there any time soon? It would be my first renewal and there...

for a new grad the base pay is $24 but if you have CNA experience they add more depending on how many years of experience. Another dollar for BSN. How much does Mayo Clinic pay? Please let me know lol. I heard Mayo pays the best. St. Vincent also pay...

Hello everybody, I really would just like to vent. So I moved from CA to Florida beginning of the year because my husband is in the U.S. Navy. We have spent 3 years apart so I could finish nursing school, and moved as soon as I was done. I had missed...

Thank you for the encouraging words! I am still hesitant only because I've never done anything like this before. I can't imagine settling down in Florida but it would be nice to get established there for a few years and see where my career takes me. ...

Yes I totally understand how competitive it is in California. I've heard of applications reaching in the thousands but only filling 2-4 positions. The pay is great but the cost of living is high. Anyways, after a few years in Florida I'm confident Il...

Thank you! Not a lot of people really understand my situation. I'm quite private but just really needed to vent. Imagine your husband leaving for 6 months, feeling ALONE across the country. I have no friends and family out here. Then that same weeken...

We're stationed in Florida. We live in a very a military friendly city. I had let them know that I'm a military spouse during the interview. So... Idk what that says about them now. From my experience before, when I shared this information that seeme...

Thank you all for the advice! I have no signed any contract yet, they are still processing me and will send the contract over to me at the end of the month. I am aware that I will have to read it carefully before I sign anything. I will definitely be...

I can't tell if it is my best option. All of the hospitals where I live in Florida have new grad programs. In my interview they said they don't hire anybody outside of the program with less than one year experience. If I don't accept this then I'll b...

Hello everybody, I really would just like to vent. So I moved from CA to Florida beginning of the year because my husband is in the U.S. Navy. We have spent 3 years apart so I could finish nursing school, and moved as soon as I was done. I had missed...

Yeah I'm not ecstatic about the years either but I would definitely benefit from the training.

Thank you! If I can do it you can too! Definitely keep trying at all the hospitals around you! I wish I had applied again sooner but got distracted with working and my BSN online. So just keep that in mind and stay focused. Keep your eyes open for ne...

I just got accepted into Baptist Adult Hospital residency. I will let you know how it goes! I was a bit hesitant about it due to low pay. The offered pay is the same as my rate at the SNF I worked at. But Baptist offers night differentials and I figu...

Hi there I am currently going to a nursing program in California and will be graduating in May 2018. I am moving to Florida in the summer of 2018. Does anybody know anything about eNLC, compact and non- compact states? I have a vague understanding th...

So while we towards the end of the our RN program, us student applied for the CA BRN nclex. I decided that I should study and take the nclex in CA since it would be nice to have a license in my home state. As soon as I passed the nclex and got my ca ...

HI I really appreciate you taking the time to open and read this. So, I paid for a professional to update my resume and I am starting to regret it. My resume looks so REDUNDANT and lengthy! it looks like a lot of filler words. PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY ...

These are the changes I made. I think I still need to add skills and leadership. But please continue to advise me I appreciate it. I was told that my old resume is appropriate for ATS? or resume scanning computer. But Idk. NAME, PERSONAL INFORMATION...

SHOULD I JUST GET RID OF THE CLINICAL SKILLS SUMMARY? especially since core competencies already mention these. Instead I can replace that portion with details of my role in my past employment?

I've actually already deleted that. I thought that was strange to have "sterilize and make minor adjustments to medical equipment". I've already deleted a lot but I feel like there is still so much fluff. Even if i repost the edited version, it's sti...

Yeah I know that. That is why I am here asking for advice. The reusme service I used obviously went over board! I feel that my old resume is much better than this. It was way simpler. She didn't even put details of my past employment, which I think i...

THANKS! i really appreciate the helpful tips. At first look at my new resume, I knew that I need to change it to make it more personal. Right now, I feel like it's just another template that wouldnt set me apart. I was hoping that my work experience ...

That's what I think too. I feel like my resume is trying to be something that I'm not quite am yet

Keep in mind I am a new grad so I dont want my resume to make it look like I am a PRO and mighty about some of these skills.

So I can still take the NCLEX test here and still get a single state license. Will I have to take another test in Florida, or can I just simply apply for the multi-state license in Florida as soon as I claim Florida as my residency? Do you know how l...

thanks for answering! I saw that it is fairly new. I think the timing is great, considering Ill be moving there by the time it takes effect.
