Okay, I am 8 weeks from graduation from an adult health CNS. I received tuition waivers from the hospital where I work so I owe them 24 months of work after graduation. So...there are NO openings for APNs currently and none expected either. I spoke with the nurse recruiter yesterday and guess what!!??? I am not guaranteed an APN position, so I can just continue in my staff nurse role for the next 2 years!!! Can we say (expletives deleted)???? Talk about totally bummed out. So...lets see, I have a master's degree in nursing, a post-masters APN and all I can best be utilized as a staff nurse??? Yikes!!!!
I'm very frustrated. I have applications out to other hospitals and private practices but that will involve a long commute (60-80 miles one way). Help...anyone with ANY advice??? I'm fed up!! Thanks for reading!!
