new grad in Chicago area


Hi all --

I'm expected to graduate in December (cross fingers!) and it is my hope to eventually move to the Chicagoland area. Since I'm struggling to find open positions in my hometown (Champaign-Urbana), I thought I'd expand my search to the city a little sooner than planned.

So my question is, does anyone know of any Chicago area hospitals that will hire new grads? Or alternately, for future reference, are there any facilities that one might want to avoid?

Thanks.

Default Re: new grad in Chicago area
I am a new grad from Chicago and I can tell you that the market is awful. I have called several hospitals and the only ones that specifically told me they will not hire new grads at this time are mt. sinai and northwestern. But I have put in 50 + apps at Chicago hospitals and I haven't heard from any of them. I started applying to hospitals further away from the city and st. marys in kankakee is the only one that called me for an interview. I may be wise to further expand your search
