  1. Employment background checks

    only 2 weeks???? girl don't sweat it, you don't need to use it. The 'background checks' are basically to see if you have a criminal history. Employment checks they will call your previous employers but legally they can only verify the dates you w...
  2. NY has a shortage but I still don't have a job!!

    I'm in the same boat, having worked psych and ltc (3years) and then trying for acute care jobs. It seems hospitals don't even consider those jobs for experience. It stinks to then have to hear about the supposed 'nursing shortage.' There was a thre...
  3. Noticing a trend here

    It does seem that there are just as many, or more, 'pre-nurses' than there are nurses here at 'allnurses.'
  4. Lots of new grades = decreasing salary?

    And then there is the issue of even getting a new grad job - there is another thread going on about this. It is all about supply and demand.
  5. How to solve the shortage of new grad jobs?

    I have been looking for jobs in the Denver area. I have been a nurse 3 years but have worked LTC and psych b/c that was what I could find at the time in my community where there is an oversaturated market of people with my same level of experience. ...

  7. How to solve the shortage of new grad jobs?

    Thanks Nurse Salt. I agree that Wendy79 brings up a very valid point. I right now am very discouraged about my nursing career (long story) basically related to this issue, however. I suspect we will begin hearing more about this dilemma soon as gra...
  8. Western Wyoming Community College

    Yes wyo CC's admit on a competitive basis. When I was there the rumor was (probably true) that if you were 'somebody' in the community, that would get you in more than anything else and it wasn't really fair how they decided who got in. Don't know i...
  9. How to solve the shortage of new grad jobs?

    Sorry Editor2RN:uhoh21: I was implying to the other poster who seems to be most interested in the paycheck.
  10. How to solve the shortage of new grad jobs?

    I was always under the impression that special ed teaching jobs were easier to get than regular teaching jobs d/t the fact that fewer people want them. I think it is a very noble profession. Have you ever considered speech therapy?? I hear that is a ...
  11. How to solve the shortage of new grad jobs?

    Even if the nursing job market is good, that isn't what it is all about. Nursing can be a very high stress job, you are often subjected to unsafe working conditions, horrible and unfair managers, increased chaos in your life d/t working random shif...
  12. How to solve the shortage of new grad jobs?

    Careerbuilder.com confirms this. Also, they aren't pushing out tons of grads compared to other jobs. Over 100000 applicants are denied each year That is applicants to nursing schools....not actual nurses. I bet when the word gets out that these nurs...
  13. How to solve the shortage of new grad jobs?

    To prove my point (to Onyx)....Editor2RN you say that you are a highly qualified teacher. Your complaint is that there are no teaching jobs in your area - why don't you move somewhere where there is?? I know there are lots of teaching jobs in Wyo! ...
  14. How to solve the shortage of new grad jobs?

    I totally agree with you Wendy.....I have posted about this as well - it is very competitive to get hired as a 'new grad' where I live (northern CO). There are several nursing schools and they have increased admissions in the past 4 years or so. Howe...
  15. Don't know if I'm going to make it as an OB nurse

    As I am reading your post i am thinking to myself "Giving birth was was of the most monumental and important experiences of my life. It is scary that the nurses who take care of me in this time would be bullied and treated the way you are describing ...
