   aubrn replied to aubrn's topic in New Nurse

   You know thats a really good way to look at things. I wonder how many nurses are supporting their families like that, probably numerable people.

3. Why aren't new grads getting hired?

   aubrn replied to aubrn's topic in New Nurse

   Yeah sorry about that. I feel better knowing the real reasons now, because as a new grad I dont know and thats the whole problem. I never consider that I lost a position to an experience nurse, never. I am the worst overachiever because I was made t...

   Good information, I think I am going to offer up in the interview that if someone gives me a chance, I will not abandon them as that was what one NM was talking about to me. I love the ICU, but the CSU more. So, I love your kind of nursing so I migh...

6. Why aren't new grads getting hired?

   aubrn replied to aubrn's topic in New Nurse

   I dont think the older generation is pushing us out either, I just want to believe its some reason that is easily fixable? Plus, I think I am just equating interview, open position, NM's within the same age range, so I want to blame the NM. I know I ...

7. Why aren't new grads getting hired?

   aubrn replied to aubrn's topic in New Nurse

   i see its making sense to me now. darn it for making sense. i know eventually they will have to start hiring new grads again, its impossible not to but how many of us will there be at that point. i am trying to figure out what is best for me to do. i...

8. Why aren't new grads getting hired?

   aubrn replied to aubrn's topic in New Nurse

   Yeah, I see what you mean. Even if I am the fastest learner; which I am it doesn't hold a candle to a nurse with experience. The one NM who interviewed me said I hired so-so and she was in training for half a day, and then I added her to schedule. I ...

   aubrn replied to aubrn's topic in New Nurse

   I do not want to get into really personal stuff here, but this means freedom for myself and my children. I basically put it all on the line and promised my kids a better life, and despite it all the girl who didnt want a job at all but went to nursin...

10. Why aren't new grads getting hired?

    aubrn replied to aubrn's topic in New Nurse

    I see why a manager would hire experienced over new grad too, no question there. I just don't see why they would leave a position unfilled just to not hire a new grad. I know many nurses that jumped ship and go on like you said, hospitals are probabl...

11. Why aren't new grads getting hired?

    aubrn replied to aubrn's topic in New Nurse

    You know I have heard that too. BTW, you seem to know about almost everything. I should just ask you specifically 1st. How not funny it would be for that to have been made up because the cost of nursing school now will unequivicably (did I spell rig...

12. Why aren't new grads getting hired?

    aubrn replied to aubrn's topic in New Nurse

    Okay, I thought I wanted a logical answer. I lied, that sucks. Plus, there is all this jumping ship going on. Thats insane it costs that much to train a new grad, an experienced nurse can just come in and do the job without training? I assumed that t...

13. OK, so I am whining but....

    aubrn replied to qaqueen's topic in General Nursing

    Me, and hundreds maybe thousands of new nurses will take that position you hate so much off your hands for you without a second thought. No one can get a job right now, be glad for the paycheck seriously. Some of us are in such bad places we are los...

14. Why aren't new grads getting hired?

    aubrn posted a topic in New Nurse

    Why with hundreds of unfilled positions is no one hiring new grads. What is the logical reason behind this? Is there a logical reason? Has this ever happened in the history of nursing before? I feel like I am not apart of the nursing community, I f...

15. Unemployed & inexperienced New RNs. Vent it out!

    aubrn replied to captain byakuya's topic in Job Hunt

    I have 3 kids too, passed boards in June too, and Christmas is coming for me too. I feel like I ruined my families future. I have extreme debt now. I pray to, for you, me, and the rest of us being black balled. The positions are there, they just won...
