  1. Quote from Sirius Squint
    Thousands of new nurses are spit out of schools a year with hospitals not even giving us the time of day for bedside nursing because there are just too darn many of us. Give me an opportunity to work bedside for life, and I'll take it. In my dreams so far, and I graduated 8 months ago.
    dont forget you might have to change areas- all the hospitals in my area are hiring new grads.

    I have considered that a great deal and am willing to relocate to pursue my dreams. However, everything I have read on this site matches what seams to be going on in my area (chicagoland). Not enough jobs. May I ask what hospitals you are speaking of, as I am very serious about my pursuit in my career? I'm starting to feel like I made huge mistake majoring in Nursing, even though I love it.

    A simple click of this member's profile indicates his/her location is in Western New York.

    In general, nursing jobs are still abundant in places where many people do not wish to live, such as North Dakota, towns along the Mexico border, and extreme rural areas with 'dying' towns that lack many basic services.
    jrwest and Sirius Squint like this.
