LSU hiring?

Published

Hello. I'm about to be a new graduate from Pittsburgh, PA. I've gotten really into the Katrina relief stuff the past couple of years and fell in love with New Orleans so I'm looking to move down there as a new graduate nurse and just kind of start life in New Orleans. Anyways, this is all REALLY difficult from afar. I've applied for jobs at Tulane, West Jefferson, Oschener, and I'm trying to apply to LSU. This might sound kind of dumb but I am confused about what the whole set up is with the LSU system right now. Are any of their hospitals hiring and if so which ones are hiring? The website isn't helping me out much and there is not even a place to apply on the LSU websites. From stuff I've heard in the news and things from NOLA.com I'm under the impression that LSU is putting a hold on all of it's hiring and making major cuts. Also, what is Charity hospital associated with and is it up and running? Any enlightenment you can give me on any of this helps to clear it up a ton for me. Thanks so much.

here are a few of LSU's Med. Centers in New Orleans- Yes Charity is up and running to the best of my knowledge... I work for the state of LA (not currently in nursing) and there has been a freeze on all hiring for new state employees- for instance I am a current employee so I can interview for other state positions and be transferred- the only exception is Department Of Health & Hospitals- that's the one place I can't transfer to. Only people currently with DHH can transfer to other DHH positions. I know I did not answer all of your questions- but I hope this has helped! Good Luck!

Charity hospital is not up and running. The building is still sitting empty and damaged and no decisions have been made about it's reopening. You may want to try University Hospital, they are always hiring and they are affiliated with LSU. That is where most of Charity's patients, traumas, etc. are now being taken.

If you send me a private message I can attach a list of hospitals in this area and the pay and benefits. I put this together last night to give out to fellow students in my nursing program. We are graduating in a month and are looking for jobs. There is not a shortage at any hospital that I have heard of and several hospitals have relocation money that you may be able to use.

Is there any way that you could possibly send me this information also. I don't graduate until May but would like to have it just out of curiosity. I'm not able to PM for some reason. Thanks!
