I am a new graduate and can't get a job because 100% of the jobs require that I have 1-2 years of experience.
How am I supposed to get experience if no one will hire me? I have bills to pay and I am losing money each month getting further and further in debt. Each month not working adds up.
I'm watching CNN right now and they just said RNs will be the fastest growing job market in the next coming up years? Are they kidding? CNN also said the unemployment rate for people with bachelors is 4.7%?
Laney, I'm in MI also. Can you please contact me with information on which hospitals have the nurse extern program? I contacted Henry Ford Hospital and applied for nurse extern but they told me I can't be in it because I am a nurse already.
I am sorry to hear this - how frustrating.
Do any hospitals in your area have a nurse extern program? We have some hospitals here in Michigan that will hire you at full RN pay, and you work different floors for a certain amount of time (not sure how long), then you pick among the job openings in the hospital after you are done rotating. Of course, job openings are not as plentiful as they once were, so they probably aren't hiring as many externs.
