Trouble landing a nursing residency in Miami florida

Published

Hi all,

I am having trouble getting a job as a new graduate nurse in Miami. I am looking for a bedside position and I'm told that my only option is a new grad nurse residency. I have applied to many hospitals.. Baptist, Jackson, UM, Mount Sinai, but I haven't gotten selected for interviews at any. I have my BSN, and I already passed the NCLEX. Does anyone have any insight or advice on how to navigate this process? Are any of you experiencing the same thing?
Thanks!

Hi! Hope all is well. I know Memorial Winter Cohort is opening tomorrow 9/16. Just was wondering how did it go for you?

Hi! It did not go well for me. I interviewed with a few units but didn't get any offers. I ended up leaving the hospital system entirely and got a nurse resident job at Broward so there's a happy ending at least!  
 

It looks like Memorial is only really hiring for med surg and tele units so just be prepared for that. Getting a speciality isn't impossible though so keep trying! Best of luck to you 😁

Hi! I passed my NCLEX march 2024 and I was applying to every hospital since then. It was not until this month that someone talk on my behalf to one of a charge nurses and it was like that I was accepted into a hospital. Unfortunately, if you don't know someone you will not land any job at a hospital. I was so frustrated and disappointed because I couldn't believe it. All my friends have job because someone talk for them. My advice to you , is the same that I did. Go to a Home and start there and gain experience, and continue applying and making connections. It's sad but it is like that in Miami. If you don't have a connection you will not enter in a hospital. Don't be discouraged and look for options 🙂

Hello, just wanted to ask: has anyone received any kind of news (offer or denial) from UM yet?
