I suggest you contact a travel nurse company and get in that way, especially with a year of experience. I came here with 2 years of experience and couldn't find any full time jobs. I had offers for per diem, but decided to get a travel contract. Ther...

Hi, I'm a fellow military spouse and just moved here in July. I had multiple job options, with 2 years acute care experience, BSN, and certification. Like the person above me said, 7 months acute care experience won't be quite enough. I have 2 jobs (...

Ah sorry carizzal, I took another position here and didn't end up doing the walk in interview. It sounds like a great way to introduce yourself. Good luck.

Gotta think positively! Create your own reality. Everyone said the same to me about San Diego and I am so happy I did NOT let them talk me out of coming here!!! Loving it!

Sharp healthcare offers walk in interviews for nurses with at least 1 year of acute care experience. They're every Thursday from 9am - noon. I'm not in the area yet but will be in a few weeks and definitely plan on checking this out. I've been emaili...
Has anyone done this? I'm just curious what to expect, and how these are conducted. I verified with a recruiter they still have them. This is in regards to Sharp Healthcare in San Diego. Thanks!

You could do agency or travel nursing if you have over a year of experience. I would also look on career sites on hospital web pages and call their nurse recruiters. I have 2 years experience and they've been very receptive on the phone. Good luck
This question is for experienced nurses, as I know new grads have advanced applications for residency programs. How long from time of application/interview did you start a new job? Are managers flexible with a start date? The job I'm looking at did n...
