1. New Grad Jobs in Charlotte

   TheBear90 replied to eba0305's topic in North Carolina

   Hmm... well, I just passed the boards and even THAT doesn't seem to matter when it comes to hiring. I keep getting the same response, and that is, recruiters are NOW focused ONLY on hiring May 2010 graduates (I graduated in Dec). Not exactly sure wh...

4. new grad jobs?

   TheBear90 replied to tara_b's topic in North Carolina

   I wouldn't go so far as to say NC is the "worst" state to find a job, but it is definitely up there. And stating that "thousands" of nursing new grads are moving here from all over the country is a bit dramatic. I would be more inclined to predict ...

5. New Grad Jobs in Charlotte

   TheBear90 replied to eba0305's topic in North Carolina

   Well, I'm also not a local, so Queens or Presby's SON means nothing to me. My knowledge of any of the nursing schools in NC is zilch... so I could have misunderstood as well. She definitely said internal and external... so I just attributed that to...

6. New Grad Jobs in Charlotte

   TheBear90 replied to eba0305's topic in North Carolina

   I received the same call from a Presby recruiter in December, however, my interpretation of the message was quite different. The recruiter simply stated that their policy is to hire "internally" first and IF there are positions still available, they...

7. Job in Charlotte

   TheBear90 replied to wlb06's topic in North Carolina

   Yes, I agree with you; however, my husband's job brought us back here (he lived here previously for the same job). Although I love the CLT area, it was not my first choice. Why would I willingly move to a state that starts nurses off at $10 less th...

8. Job in Charlotte

   TheBear90 replied to wlb06's topic in North Carolina

   Abishag- I'm in the same boat. I graduated a few weeks ago and relocated to Charlotte last week from another state. I have healthcare experience, but not from a NC healthcare system, which I fear puts me more at a disadvantage. I also received a c...

10. NC Relocation

    TheBear90 replied to alirey5514's topic in North Carolina

    I'm relocating to NC in December upon graduation and it completely freaks me out that... 1.) there are even less new grad jobs available in NC and SC than in MI (where I currently reside) 2.) the pay difference is staggering; at the hospital I'm cur...

11. Advice regarding inteview with Presbyterian?!

    TheBear90 posted a topic in North Carolina

    Hi, I'm a nursing student relocating to the Charlotte area upon graduation in Dec. Unfortunately, I missed the new grad deadline for CMC and can now only applying to Presby. I am unfamiliar with both and to the area; however, I did just receive a c...

12. BIG question about relocating right after graduation...

    TheBear90 replied to kgh31386's topic in New Nurse

    I'm currently in the same predicament. My fiance has a job lined up in NC once I graduate in December. Since I'm entering my last semester in nursing school in Michigan, the time to apply for a GN position is approaching. The deadline to apply in ...
