Moving to Tulsa: Best Hospitals? Job market outlook?

[ClassyChristina]

Hi there!

I will be relocating to Tulsa, Oklahoma in a few months and have a few questions. I have working as an RN for about a year on a busy Oncology/Tele/med-surg floor and definitely have been through my initial learning curve as a nurse. I also worked as an LPN for a few years prior to this.

What are the best hospitals to work at in Tulsa?

Do you have to have an "in" to get an interview?

What is the job market like? Was it hard for you to find a job in the speciality you wanted?

I already have my licence endorsed and start applying next month so any help/advice will be greatly appreciated! : )

None of the hospitals are bad to work for, IMO. If you like oncology, since you have experience, I would personally apply to Cancer Tx Center in Tulsa. I interviewed there a long time ago and was quite impressed. Better pay there than other hospitals too.

Thank you for your input... Sadly, I have no desire to continue in Oncology. I ended up accepting an offer at St. John. They were super flexible with me and gave me several interviews for the open day positions so I could find my niche and the unit that worked best for me. I have really been impressed with the professionalism there so far!
