Made The Move!

I finally made the move to the Tampa area from TN! I am currently in Riverview and absolutely love it here. The weather is great and the people are amazing. I filled out 3 online applications on Friday, and so far... 1 rejection, 1 nurse recruiter who said she would forward on my resume, and nothing on the other yet. Is this typical for this area? I am an ER - RN with 9 months experience. I have never had to try or even look this hard for a job. I am seeing tons of ads for home health, which is my worst nightmare to have to do, but I will if it means staying in this area. Anyone out there with HH experience in the Tampa area? How is it? Also, are they still considering me a new grad? The rejection I got was from an ad that required only 6 mo ER experience, so I am at a loss for why they turned me down so quickly unless they wanted someone with so many years nursing experience, and then the ER. I am trying not to get discouraged, but starting to get a little concerned after what all I am reading here about the job market. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Just curious what part of TN? I'm from the Clarksville area. My family and I will be moving down the Cape Canaveral area in a few months. I will have about 10 months experience as a RN. Graduated last May but took a while to get work. I ended up working in a skilled nursing facility just so I could add some experience. I hope that the experience I have will help me get into my perferred specialty. Maybe not right away but soon hopefully:) Good Luck on your job search!

    I lived just due south of you in Lawrenceburg. I also graduated in May! I have 9 months ER experience. My dream job is to get into Tampa General's ER, but don't know if that will happen right away. I'm willing to do my time and get more experience somewhere else. I am going to a job fair on Thursday for BayCare Health Systems. They have a really good reputation around here. You will love it down here. Especially after this winter in TN. I've only been down here for 10 days and am already in love with the place. So many nay-sayers told me "how it would be", but I am now wondering if any of them have ever been here. It is all about one's outlook and attitude. I was told how everyone down here is rude... So far I've found things to be completely the opposite. I have met so many wonderful interesting people already. It is all in how you approach someone. Most people here are happy and enjoying the sunshine! Good luck on your move.
