Grad Nurse Jobs in Philly Area

Published

Does anyone know of places that are hiring graduate nurses in the Philadelphia or Philadelphia suburb area? I've applied to a few places but haven't heard back. Is the job market saturated?

Hey PhillyN,

I'm not sure it's saturated, but everyone's budgets are running a little differently (at least that's what I've been told). So, it seems, hospitals will probably have smaller New Grad classes throughout the summer into fall-winter. I would continue applying & trying to get in contact with Nurse Recruiters. This way, they can tell you if that program is worth pursuing or when to try back.

If you can't find numbers etc. online, I would simply try to call the hospital main number, either ask for HR or the Nurse Recruiter. Someone will probably be able to transfer you.

Is there one specialty or hospital you're focused on? One specialty you aren't (Peds only, adults only)?

Best of luck!

No, honestly I'll take whatever I can get as long as it's in the Philadelphia area. I'll try contacting Nursing Recruiters like you suggested. Fingers continue to be crossed. I also haven't taken the NCLEX yet, so maybe once that is done, it will be helpful.

Have you been able to find a job yet? Did contacting the nursing recruiters help? I am a new graduate living in the Philly area too and I am having a hard time finding a job

Anyone here want to try the corporate world of nursing? As in working in an office environment, behind a computer, reviewing case histories, and entering into a database. It leads to work and experience that can be used in pharma, biotech and clinical research. If you are interested, I'm screening candidates local or commutable to the Wayne, PA area. Please email me if interested: [email protected]
