HELP Please! Lost Home - Need FT job

Dear fellow nurses,

I live in Iowa and recently lost my home to isolated flooding. Since I've lost mostly everything I have decided to try to find work in the Triad area in North Carolina (which is something I was going to wait and do next year if the economy got better).

Even though I am a bilingual New Grad RN, I do have 2+ years experience in long-term care as an LPN. Therefore, if you know of any Nursing Homes who are hiring full-time in any of the Triad area cities PLEASE post it on this thread. Of course, I would love to work in a hospital but I know that New Grads are not getting hired at this time in that setting.

Any information is much appreciated.

Sincerely,

Bessie Amaya (a.k.a. EmilyLucille523)

We just hired THREE new grads on my floor at Duke, and I think I'm being replaced with a new grad (I'm going into the Air Force in October). The jobs are here - you'll just have to work for them.

UPDATE: After losing my home to a flash flood in IA, I had decided to try in NC again but in person, even though I had been denied many a times before because they "don't have any openings for New Grads right now."

After a lot of hard work (networking and using connections) I'm ecstatic to inform you that I have gotten offered a full-time PCU position in a hospital in NC!!!:anpom::yeah::anpom:

Thank you all for your prayers! :bowingpur God is GRAND!

Congratulations!!! As a life long native of NC, welcome! I am sure you will like it down here. Are you in the triad or triangle area of NC or elsewhere?

Living in the middle of the Triad area and got offered a job in Asheboro. I am very happy to be here and look forward to a new beginning with my family. It's just sad and at the same time inspiring that it took a flood to get me an open door for a job interview. I do appreciate the chance though, the people here have been so wonderful, loving, and very understanding to my situation.
