Re: No new grad positions in Boston hospitals
Tinytessa- There are certainly graduates that have been able to get jobs (most were probably internal applicants). However, many MANY graduates are having a difficult time. It is a bit disheartening (and almost insulting!!) when we hear: Oh there's a shortage, you shouldn't be having a problem at all.
THERE ARE NO HOSPITALS IN EASTERN MASS "DESPERATELY SEEKING" NEW GRADS
Sorry, and I would LOVE if someone could prove me wrong (please do!!). I have done very well in college (for both my BS and ADN) and have not been offered even so much as an interview in Mass. Many of my classmates are in the same boat.
That being said, I just took an RN position in North Carolina (they called me the morning after I applied). They are seeking new grads, if you can move- do it! Any new grads interested in NC, send me a PM. I would love to tell you about how amazing my new hospital has been to me so far. I really have worked too hard to have to beg for a job.
