How many new grad associate degree nurses have landed jobs recently?

Nurses New Nurse

I was wondering how the job market is for us. I am going to graduate soon but I feel insecure about not having a BSN (which I plan to get within a couple years). I have a degree in a non-nursing related field but that won't count for much.

It's hard to believe all associate degree nurses are just piling up with few getting jobs. So are new associate degree nurses at all hireable?

Specializes in Emergency Dept. Trauma. Pediatrics.

I landed a job within a week of graduating. I also had my Licence within a week. I recieved an associates. That said I am one of only a few non-contracted students from my area to get a hospital job.

I graduated in May and am in Northern CO. It's a very tough market here.

Where do you live?

I graduated this past December with an ADN and got a job in the unit I was already working in as a tech. I highly recommend students try to get a job while still in school if possible.
