With the economy in peril it seems that the nursing shortage may be turning into a nursing glut. Some of the local nurses that were looking to work part-time or retire are happy to grab every shift they can. Is the job market still out there in other geographic areas, or has it dried up nationally?

RBEZEMEK , I quess you are referring to my post ( #3 ),I think you misunderstood me . I was posing a rhetorical question ,because as I asked are we in a shortage or glut of nurses ? I can't fathom which it is . Depending upon the local situation you will hear in one place there is a shortage of nurses whilst in another there is a glut . I was trying to make this point to the OP.
I also offered some of the possible reasons why there is a shortage of nurses in some areas . Yet in other areas , managment tell the staff there is a surplus of nurses . You obviously are lucky in that there are job postings related to available posts .Others are lucky because their location attracts staff
