Re: Where are all the nurses?
I think your target should be experienced nurses not new grads. This is only to be honest,but as new grads yes, we want that shiny job at the big hospital in our specialty of choice....well at least a lot of us anyways. LTC/skilled facilities are rarely the shiny new dream job we have all been working for. I do understand that dreams dont come to you overnight. I'm a new grad and have worked in a LTC facility for only a week now, they describe there facility the same as yours but still I went home the first night in tears. I know being there isn't getting me anywhere near my dream of being a womens health NP...I have a intereview for a major medical center next week that isn't in my specialty of choice but just being there would be a step in the right direction...it's a lot easier to transfer units then to get into the hospital of choice....so I think new grads are looking for that rather than what you facility offers
