Can't find a job!


I live in a small town of about 17,000 with 1 hosp., 5 LTC facilities, 1 other hosp. about 30 min. away and still cannot find a nursing job. It is not that I cannot get an interview, it is that noone is hiring right now. I left my last job in Oct. d/t the DON degrading me in front of the entire Nursing home staff, Dietary, nursing, housekeeping and laundry. So now I NEED my nursing fix and cannot seem to find an opening anywhere. There is certainly no nursing shortage here. In fact too many nurses.

Have you actually sent a resume to those places? If you haven't, then you should, so if an opening comes up they can contact you. Some places just don't advertise new positions because they have so many resumes on file. So just be sure to send them to anywhere you want to work, because you never know when someone is going to leave their position. And lastly, there is the option of moving to a larger town or something....though I know that might not be an option for you. Also try looking in the phone book under employment agencies. Some of them are medical staffing only.
