Really freaking out

U.S.A. Massachusetts

Published

I canNOT find a job. It's now to the point where I can't even get HR to talk to me or nurse managers to return my phone calls. Some HRs wont even let me talk to nurse recruitment. An HR rep from Lahey Clinic asked me what type of nurse I am and I told her new grad and she said not to bother, that neither Lahey campus is hiring new grads and won't be until next year. I have tried every acute hospital within a 2 hour driving distance in MA and several subacute/rehab/SNF facilities and none of them are hiring new grads or don't have the support in place to train a new grad. I really don't know what to do. My dad is deathly ill and my mom cannot pay pay their bills on just her salary. I really need to work and help out. My health insurance is also up. I'm so frustrated and discouraged.

Hello,

Does anyone know what the starting pay is for new grad RN's at Youville Hospital?

24.50 - 26.71/hour depending on your degree. I would not work on any floor but West 2 or South 3 though.

They are the only one's who are hiring as I can see from the job boards. Go for it. Keep bugging them, they will hire you.

I have been looking for a decent job for two years. I tried taking just anything three times. Not putting my license or my sanity at risk anymore.

No jobs yet. I have an agency that keeps trying to send me an application, but I never received them. So when I have the gas money I will have to drive down there and fill it out. It is kind of 45 minutes away.

I would just call the Kindred directly and speak to the DON, skip the recruiter.

I just had the best experiences on those units. Helpful coworkers, interesting patients, reasonable assignments.
