I have been applying to several of the HCA StaRN programs in Florida and was contacted by 2 different recruiters, one for the west florida hospitals and the other for Ocala Regional Medical Center. I was so excited after waiting so long, but now I'm wondering if this is something that I will be able to do since I will have to move from MD and will be living on my own. The Ocala Regional recruiter's email said that the first 13 weeks are classroom and training and you will only be paid 15$/hr. After that you will get hired for a position in the hospital and receive the regular RN pay which is in the 20-25 $ / range. I was very surprised to hear this and am worried that I won't be able to afford to rent an apartment at 15$/hr. The other recruiter didn't mention this lower pay, but requires a recorded webcam interview which guess is a screening an first part of the interview process. I have to get back to them rather quickly, so if anyone has any information on either of these I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!
