Not making it in Massachusetts

U.S.A. Massachusetts

Published

I have been an RN for over fifteen years and have been looking for a job since the beginning of the year.

I have always been able to find work except this time around. I have excellent references and plenty of hospital

experience with Tele, wound care and IV insertion to name a few.

So why can't I find a job? Are hospitals required to hire a certain percentage of foreigners from other countries? They seem to have no problem finding employment. A friend of mine from Africa with less experience than me found a job without batting an eye. Am I too "seasoned?"

I might have to go out of state for a job!

Specializes in They know this too!.

That is true too even I notice LTC now. Just another excuse to wean out many applicants. But, it was funny I had an interview that said they had too many and then they were looking again a month later. Noble Peace prize maybe?

Don't come to GA. No decent jobs here either. Hospitals are closing down, buying one another. Unpaid care is just killing them.
