  1. Legacy Health Residency, Portland, OR

    I am so in the same boat as you and I have good weeks where I'm all positive and hopeful then the next week I'm crying myself to sleep. I apply and apply and either hear nothing back or get the quick rejection email. I'm so tired of friends and famil...
  2. Moving to Northwest Oregon

    Well I am very happy for you but honestly your experience is the difference. You are right there are a ton of jobs for RN's with experience. There is currently an over abundance of new grads and extremely difficult, I apply and apply but once they kn...

    PS: she was called and went in the very next day for the interview.
  4. Legacy Health Residency, Portland, OR

    My good friend got her second interview for med/surg this last week. Her interview went really well but the reality is that they were only hiring one person for his hospital. He said that last time they took too many people and having the new hires p...

    Wow what an experience. During my senior practicum I heard a lot of nurses tell stories of how a new RN is often thrown to the wolves, so to speak. It's really sad because with the type of work we do we should all really support each other not enjoy ...

  8. Oregon is so overly saturated with nurses that facilities are just not hiring. There are lots of positions for experienced nurses but nobody is willing to invest the time/money into new grads. There are literally hundreds of new grads right now looki...
  9. Moving to Northwest Oregon

    Hate to be a buzz-kill but the job market in Oregon stinks! Graduated in June, live in Portland (the biggest city in Oregon) and I'm totally freaking out. In the past a new nurse might have to work in a SNF for a while before moving to a hospital but...
  10. Legacy Health Residency, Portland, OR

    Well no more stress, the deadline was today and and no call. 300 applicants and only 16-20 positions the odds were against so many of us so maybe it was best not to go to the interview and still not get the position. I know 3 people who got into the ...
