Hey Allnurses,

First Congrats to ALL of the 2009 Grads

:y eah:. I just finished my first semester of an accelerated second career BSN program & I can't wait to be finished. I am expected to graduate in May 2010 & I plan to remain here in Michigan. I have heard time and time again that there are and always will be jobs for nurses, but I am beginning to realize that is just a myth just like many circulating the field of nursing. As I read these forums it is sad to see new grads that have survived the hardships of nursing school and can't find work. I know every story is different. Thats why I want to welcome the 2009 grads to share their stats & lets see are there any new grads in Michigan getting jobs. Thanx in Advance & GOOD LUCK!!!

1. When did you graduate
2. When did you begin applying for jobs
3. Do u have an ADN/ BSN
4. Did u find a job (if so where & what unit)
5. Were u employed at any other hospital (CNA, tech, intern ect.)

Sorry this looks like a job app.

BTW........ Not my stats, but these r the stats of one of my friends

She graduated in May 2009 from UofM w/ a BSN, she started applying in December & landed her job in February @ St. Joes in Ann Arbor where she worked as a Nurse Tech, she is on a Cardiac step- down unit started in July. Oakwood hospital also called her in for an interview, but she chose the first place that offered her a job.

Hello! I graduated in May 09. I started applying for jobs in January, but I already had a position as a student nurse associate at Children's Hospital of Michigan. I applied for the Nurse Residency program there, interviewed and was hired onto the unit where I worked as a student. (Hematology/Oncology/Nephrology) I have an ADN, went to WCCCD. Loving my job!
