Hello everybody,
I just graduated from an ADN program in NC and moved to Denver a couple of weeks ago. My boyfriend and I were planning on moving to Wisconsin after my graduation, but at the last minute moved to Denver instead (long story). Since our decision to move here was VERY last minute I didn't do any research on the job situation before I came here.
I have sent all of my paperwork to the CO Board of Nursing and am waiting for my authorization to take the NCLEX. In the meantime does anyone have any advice for me on getting a job?
It looks like most of the hospitals only have New Graduate orientation programs twice a year... and I just missed the summer one.
Does anyone know if I have any chance of getting hired at any Denver area hospitals before the next New Graduate orientations in December?
Also do you know if I can/should apply anywhere now, or do I need to wait until I pass my NCLEX?
Thanks,
p.s. I have left messages with quite a few HR people/nurse recruiters.. but haven't gotten much help.
