No new grad positions in Boston hospitals

Has anyone else heard this? I was talking to a staff member in our staff development office who told me that most Boston hospitals aren't hiring new grads right now due to budget cuts and overstaffing...she said that most new grads are looking at community hospitals in the surrounding areas.

Was I misinformed?

I work at the Brigham as a PCA and still have had NO LUCK! Very frustrating... and even community hospitals seem full - I've tried many and do not hear back, instead receiving the "We have received your resume and due to the large number of applicants, we will not call everyone but will keep your application on file, yadda yadda".

Hoping for an opportunity to arise.

Hi Gerry - I have a BSN and was hoping that the new 10AB would be the perfect prospect. I guess b/c they are starting the floor in a few weeks, they were only taking Dec'07 grads so that staff would be ready to go at start time (or so I was told by the manager who is a good friend of my clinical instructor that recommended me for a position).
