Just heard from some folks in houston that new-grad ADNs are having problems landing jobs.
I think it's a regional thing; here in central texas [waco/temple/killeen], I don't think anyone I know in the ADN program has had a problem finding a job. Could it possibly be new-grad saturation?
There are only 2 community colleges in this area that offer an ADN program [TC and CTC] and only 2 universities that offer a BSN program [Baylor and UMHB]; and there are 6+ hospitals and even more clinics.
Anyone have any insight as to what may happen with future ADN grads? Do you feel this a regional thing? I figure that with the nurse shortage, hospitals shouldn't be UBER picky as to who they hire. Then again, they probably aren't going to hire someone that barely scraped by in the ADN program.
Any thoughts? Questions? Concerns?
