Trying to Relocate from MI to CO

U.S.A. Colorado

Published

Hi, I am a Med-Surg nurse trying to relocate from Michigan to Colorado, to be with my fiance who was transferred in January...but I can't find a job. I have 2 1/2 years of hospital experience. I've been applying since January and keep getting "rejected" or "not considered" or I'm scheduled for a phone screen and they never call. I have applied everywhere (Centura, UCH, Exempla, Poudre, Banner, KP, Denver Health). I've talked to multiple recruiters and they say they are all hiring internal candidates right now. I'm frustrated and really don't know what to do at this point. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks!

Specializes in ICU + Infection Prevention.

Try Grand Junction, try Pueblo, or try something besides nursing.

Try the new OrthoColorado; opening June 14, Centura Health (part of St. Anthony's); I was hired 2 weeks ago as a C.NA and they are still hiring RN's BUT NO NEW GRADS! http://www.orthocolorado.org . It's nice and close to the beautiful foothills of Colorado but not that far from Denver proper either.

Sart45 - Thanks for the post. I actually spoke with the Nursing Director at OrthoColorado about a month ago and had submitted my resume to her. She emailed me stating she had forwarded it to the hiring team. I never heard back from them. I had emailed and left some voicemail messages, but never got an answer back. I was thinking they were looking for specific Ortho experience. But, since you said they are still hiring, I will try one last follow-up attempt. Thank you!

They have been beyond busy with the opening of the hospital, hiring and orientations. They are starting the first on- site orientations this week at the new hospital (I can't wait to see it). Keep trying. If you want to private message me maybe I can mention your name???? Everyone is wonderful!

Thank you for the info. Unfortunately, I can't private message you because I haven't submitted the required 15 posts yet...or I definitely would! Good luck with orientation. I'm so happy for you!
