I'm feeling you on that!! I applied for 26 positions in NYC at NY Pres and I got their standard email rejection-ON ALL 26 POSITIONS! I can't believe that after hearing nonstop about nursing being "recession-proof" through school I may have to get a job bagging groceries to pay my bills. The only choice we have is to remain positive or start looking outside the northeast for jobs. I hear Texas is in serious need of nurses.

I'm not even looking for a nursing position..just a regular SUPPORT position and it's crazy!!
I liked Texas and if I was done with school..I would seriously consider going there..just for a year or 2 to get the experience..

Hi all,
I know there is a big hold on hiring new nurses at hospitals here in Jersey..but is there a freeze on hiring administrative staff as well?
I applied and took a basic test at Morristown Memorial for a unit rep position a few months ago. They said they would call me in regards to coming in for an interview in 2 weeks. After about 3 weeks, I called to check on the interview and they stated that they were waiting to here back from the different units to find out their needs as far as unit reps.
Gave them a few more weeks..and then called back. Apparently, no units need reps now. But, I see a long list of unit rep positions..full-time..part-time and per diem. Even see them at the other hospitals at Atlantic Health.
What is going on?? Is there a hire freeze across the board? I also applied last week for Mountainside Hospital..so I'm going to follow up this week.
My next step is to start going to the HR departments in person. I really want a weekend position..to get my foot in the door..and also since I won't be working my present job after June.
Any ideas?
