New Grads Finding Jobs?


I've been working PRN for a private duty company since graduation in Aug 2009. The hours have fallen off drastically and I'm only being offered CNA work for CNA pay. How are other recent grads in the B'ham / Gadsden / Huntsville area doing?

By the way I'm an LPN.

I graduated with a BSN in May. I have been actively searching for employment since graduation, and I have not even had one interview.

I'm sorry to hear about you losing your hours. I'm starting to worry that I will never get a job.

From what I'm hearing from recruiters there are lots of nurses seeking jobs. Thus, it makes it a little harder for new grads. Hopefully, this thread can be one of encouragement. Looking and not getting a response can begin to wear on the ole get up and go.

I have had my sights set on LTC in a retirement community that gives great care for awhile now . . . but may start looking into a doctors offices etc. if necessary.

Best of luck to us

Im a new grad and I got a job but its not in Birmingham. Im traveling to Tuscaloosa to work. If you are willing to drive I believe they are still hiring. Its a tough market right now for new grads. Best of Luck and dont give up!

My hours are back up this week . . . and I've also had an interview for a part-time position at Somerby @ St. Vincent's 119!
