Re: Help!! New grad, can't find a job in Dade/Broward counties
I know your pain! I am a new grad nurse practitioner and got my license in Aug, been looking for a job every day since and NOTHING!! It's depressing. I've even started applying to jobs in Orlando, Tampa area (I live in broward), decided I would commute up there to do shift work if I could get it, rent a small apartment even. Still nothing.
It's Florida and the bad economy. Plus there are too many nurses here from what a recruiter told me. Too many nurses and too few jobs. My classmate moved to TX, had a job in 5 weeks making $90k at a retail clinic, that same job here pays $15k LESS, yet the cost of living here is almost 20% MORE!! I don't know how the employers get away with it. I guess because they know if we say, I won't work for such a low wage there are 10 people behind us who will...
