Job market in Milwaukee for ADNs

Published

Hi there! I am a soon to be ADN graduate. I only have respite care experience and am starting to feel deep regret about not getting CNA experience and a foot in the door in a major hospital. Just wondering if any ADNs had an easy/hard time finding a job in an acute care setting in Milwaukee and what kind of experience you had going into it. I am highly motivated individual and am already enrolled in UW-GB's RN-BSN bridge program that will start 3 weeks after graduation. I am hoping this will help my resume as well as ACLS certification and 8 year job history at the same place of employment. Thoughts/Comments?

Good luck Mangofruit!

Have you tried south of milwaukee? Down here many of the ADN new grads have found jobs in both hospitals and LTC

Sweetlilwolf! I can't afford it either. I took one class and my pell grant covered it. Even though it's one class it's still working towards BSN to employers.
