Hi there. I am assuming you are not a nurse???

From my expererience, nurses aren't really 'into' LinkedIn unless they are in management positions. If you are targeting clinical specialties, I would suggest working with each specialty's web site.

Also, give NursingLink http://www.nursinglink.com/ a try. It is becoming more popular. Another great option is NurseWeek - the Gannett publication - may be a bit pricy, but it is divided into regions and has nationwide circulation, both hard copy & on line. They sponsor career fairs throughout the country.

Lastly, I would recopmmend establishing connections with nursing schools - especially those with graduate programs. Most RN nursing students are very open to career/job switches- that's why they are going back to school in the first place. Schools are very good about posting jobs in student lounges or in their newsletters.

Good luck
