Jobs are everywhere!!!

Is it just me or is the economy really not to bad as a nurse. I see a lot of post saying that there are absolutely no jobs available. This is not true, I don't mean to brag but here in Virginia, I have had 3 different jobs this year. Corrections, ltc, and some agency work. I plan on moving to ft laudereale Florida in the fall, so I contacted a couple ltc facilities down there and received over the phone interviews for positions and I don't even have a Florida nursing license yet. I only have 3 years experience as a lpn. It just seems easier than everyone makes it seems. Mcv which is the magnet trauma center here in Richmond, is offering 10,000$ sign on bonuses for rn's to sign on for 2 years! I start rn school in August. I haven't been affected one bit by the economy. Just gas prices. Lol.

Just wanted to post some good news. I graduated from nursing school 3 weeks ago and I start my new job

on Monday. I am very excited and relieved that I was able to find a job.

I found that there are nursing jobs for those with experience... currently its the new grad market that is having the most trouble.

It took me a few months to find a job after I graduated, I took one I really didn't want and I am beginning to hate it, but you have to do what you have to do. The hospitals around here rarely hire LPN's and if they do they've already got one lined up. Glad to hear you had better look, send some of it down my way!

We are talking about trends here, not that nobody is being hired anywhere. But if anyone lives in an area where they are begging for nurses, I'm sure people here on allnurses would appreciate learning about that as many have expressed a willingness to relocate.
