Re: Possibly relocating to Denver area
I have found it pretty competitive in the Denver area to find nursing jobs as a new grad. There are a lot of nursing schools here and it's true that many hospitals will not even
consider a new grad despite having 40-50 RN openings! I think it's ludacris, isn't a new nurse better than no nurse? What I have found in general is that a lot of the small hospitals will not take new grads, while the larger facilities will but you have to check when they do their new graduate programs. Swedish, Lutheran, and the University hospitals all have programs starting in October. National Jewish Medical and Research Center will consider new grads for some outpatient positions when they are available. It also helps to call places and go to job fairs. Even if they say they won't hire you, if you show up at a job fair or open house and they meet you, you may be considered. Good luck!
