Hiring Nurses...help?

Howdy everyone

I'm new to the forum, but I have a specific question, probably answered easy enough. I supposedly have a job lined up at an elder care facility that is opening later this year or in 2009 sometime. In addition to nursing duties I'd taking over some administrative tasks as well until they can build a better team. One of the troubles I'm having is finding appropriate hiring mechanisms.

Like most new facilities they have cash flow problems, but I know there are several communities out there where you can post jobs for a low fee. Seems like a lot of nurses are looking for work. Are there any specific to nurses that you'd recommend? Any success stories from nursingjobs, for example?

I doubt many of the folks here have worked as hiring managers. I certainly haven't, but I DO have experience in administrative assistance... haha

I can't speak for the effectiveness of boards like nursingjobs -- what is that, like a Craigslist for nurses? Most of the places I've worked at have used resources at local medical schools to find new hires, as well as online recruiting sites like Dayak (kind of like a hiring ebay...). Most people looking for nurses don't have much time or money to find them, so they had to go with options like these. Recruiters are good because they find the candidates for you; I saw a lot of people go through that resource.

I was actually just reading something the other day about the millions of dollars it costs to replace medical staff...it's crazy. Good luck with your search and definitely check out Dayak as well as some local med schools (sometimes they have job fairs).
