Hi! I should be receiving my temporary RN license this week while waiting on my permanent license from endorsement. I live in Prattville now from Tucson, Arizona. I have been trying to apply at Jackson Hospital, Baptist Health-Prattvile etc and still not one has even contacted me about my application. I have 3 years RN medical-surgical experience out-of-country and a recent 1 yr 3 mos experience as a LPN in Canada. Does anyone know of any hospital/medical facility who has job openings? Basicaly do you know of any medical facility which which you think will accept my qualifications? I'm getting really worried about this whole job hunting situation...
I have only tried applying online, will going to their HR offices help? I really need your feedback on this. Thanks a lot.

I'm just a nursing student right now, but I worked at Baptist South for a while. I wouldn't limit myself to just Prattville-Baptist or Jackson Hospital. Try applying to all the hospitals in the area. I wouldn't be picky about specialty areas either like ICU or med-surg. I say get your foot in the door first then after time you can move to area you want to be.
thanks for the reply. I have tried applying online in other medical facilities and no replies. I'm new to this area too so I don't really know where to go to apply by walk-in or even to go there for inquiries even. I would be glad to work on any area/s available. I was looking up hospitals, home care, hospice and nursing homes but some of them don't have websites. I guess I should go to them in person. Do you by any chance have any medical facilities in mind? thanks a lot!
Try Alacare, Healthsouth, Crowne Healthcare.
thanks! looking into it right now. Have a Happy New Year! :)
