I would love to say yes, but we have quite a few people in our program, so I'm unsure. We do a rotation between IRSC & at FAU in 45th St. Monday - Friday.

My name is Belly. I have not yet got the pleasure of introducing myself to a Britt or Brittany, unless that is not your real name...

Hi! Just wanted some opinions on the program. I was offered a spot but haven't had to sign a commitment letter yet and it doesn't start until next month. I just want to know how you all like the program? I have an interview at another hospital this week and I'm trying to decide which direction to go in if I get an offer there too. Thanks!

How do you guys like the program so far? I was contemplating applying.

How are things going since you started the program? Which hospital are you working in? I have been contacted by 2 recruiters for the StaRN program in Florida as well, but I have a lot of questions and concerns as far as the training period and pay. One recruiter explained that you are paid 15$/hr for the first 13 weeks of training. I was disappointed to hear that since I'm not sure I could afford to move and rent an apartment at this pay rate. I don't even know if any place would let me sign a lease if I'm only making 15$/hr. Are you guaranteed a position once you successfully complete the program? It sounds like a great program don't get me wrong, but I don't want to end up homeless and broke if I move down there by myself!

I'm a new grad and will be starting in the Progressive Care Unit at Lawnwood after completing the StaRN program. I would like a little bit of insight into the program if anyone would like to share!
