Re: Too Many Nurses for Too Few Jobs in the Northeast
Yes NY is not the focus of the article but I was always looking at the reports of nursing shortages with a jaded eye.
I also agree that in NY the need is mostly for experienced nurses. I had my first job in NY which didn't work out. Trying to find another one after that was a pretty painful experience.
Here in CT Yale New Haven still hires but my medical floor is still understaffed. We have a bunch of new grads on orientation but we still often have about three or four nurses during nites and four or five nurses during the day. Our floor has 28 beds.
But when anyone wants to take off we always wind up shorthanded and running around looking for a float nurse.
