Hi

I am in the preceptorship part of the program that start at the end of June. 5 more weeks. We have to go to classes for a few weeks and also dd the ECCO program online. The days we did the ECCO we stayed home. The others days was classes. We also had simulation labs on fridays( for me this implied driving over 1.5hrs each way). Classes were held 9 to 5. There were a 2 test, first one was a identify heart rhythms and the other one was a comprehensive final. After passing the final I started my 8 weeks preceptorship in the floor. Good luck!!!

Hi! I'll be starting the StaRN program for Raulerson Hospital in January 2015. I have a question for people who got accepted: Did you sign a contract prior to beginning the Program? Or at least got an official offer?

Thanks!

We didn't sign a contract until about a month before the program started. We didn't get an official letter.

Hello adrijel, congrats! I am actually going to start in the January class as well, due to the fact that I would deliver during the October class and wouldn't have been able to complete the clinical portion. Thankfully, the hospital has been awesome about my pregnancy =). Maybe we will be in the same class....I am going for ICU, how about you? There is no paperwork for me yet, but I keep in touch with the recruiter and she said that in November she will start the paperwork process for the staRN program with me. From what I understand, after the program and clinical portion is completed you will then sign a contract with the hospital you will work for. During the program you are employed by Parallon and they are the ones paying you. Any other questions let me know and maybe I can help! Congrats again!

We signed our contract when we meet with parallon in May. During the last 3 weeks of preceptorship we do all the paperwork to transfer to the hospital payroll. However, the official 2 years of contact don't start until you are transferred to hospital payroll, but the time with parallon counts as your 90 day probation period.

Hi ccer99! I'm not sure about the class, during my interview, we were talking about med/surg position...

January seems so far away. And I'll be relocating from California in December. Hope to meet you!

Thank you! Where did you find this? I have looked all over the site looking for this information. I am actually in South Florida. Do you know if there are any open positions available down here?

adrijel.29 · Sep 30, 2014

This was sent to me from the recruiter. No idea about other positions. But maybe those recruiters listed there know something... Try contacting them. Maybe you'll get lucky and get some information. Good luck!! :)
