Is ANYONE hiring new grads?? ugh

[jmokeefe]

I went through 2 years of school, I passed boards, never did I think I wouldn't be able to work when I was finished all of this!!! Upper Chesapeake and Harford Memorial aren't hiring new grads, only scholarship recipients and xterns...same with a lot of the other area hospitals...I am in Harford County. So I branched out-waiting a MONTH so far now to get a staff-interview at St. Joe's (and not 100% sure I even want to work there with all the issues surrounding that hospital). GBMC has no positions posted for new grads (experienced nurse only apply), so I looked into Bayview and JHopkins Medical...hopefully that will get me somewhere! I have a sitter job at Father Martin Ashley's Rehab but they have no RN positions to move me into. Applied today for a SAR with Genesis....fingers crossed! There are a few positions in LTC but the pay is a lot less and the shifts are only 8 hours

What is a new grad to do??

MrsW1109 - I'm interested in ANY new grad program. Can you send me the details? I have a BSN and it's my second degree. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer! :)

HopeNurse- Unfortunately I'm still new to using allnurses.com and cannot figure out how to send messages. I'd be happy to give you information regarding our new grad program... I know someone sent me a message through here, so if you know how to do that, please do.

If not, just let me know through here.. I dont want to steal this post though.

Best of luck to you all. I know it's rough out there... Trust me!

I accepted a job at Northwest Hospital that I will be starting this summer once I graduate. It's in Randallstown, MD and is a part of Lifebridge Health. They were just ranked in Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work for. I'm not sure how many new grads they are looking to hire but they have been so enthusiastic with me that it seems like they really want new grads.
