CNN Money published several nursing articles this morning regarding the job shortage for new grads based on information they got from allnurses members.
Since the recession, health care has been the single biggest sector for job growth, but that doesn't mean it's easy to get hired.Registered nurses fresh out of school are coming across thousands of job postings with an impossible requirement: "no new grads."
It's a problem well documented by the nursing industry. About 43% of newly licensed RNs still do not have jobs within 18 months after graduation, according to a survey conducted by the American Society of Registered Nurses.
New grads have taken to posting their frustrations on allnurses.com, a social network for nurses.
