New grad being laid off :/

Nurses New Nurse

Published

so ive been in an ER for 7 months now, but my manager called me in one day and gave me the grim news that i was being laid off :eek:. I shouldve known this was coming as my hospital was cutting back a LOT. Now im pretty much going to be with my sister (unemployed new graduate RN). This sucks a lot. I do have some money saved up to last me, but its only a temporary fix. I live in FL. They laid off 3 top people in the hospital, laid off some RNs and LPNs. i have no seniority so i had no immunity at all. Its hard to think that i am considered to be unemployed now. Good thing i still live under my parents, but i have students loans to pay. I guess im back to applying for jobs. :crying2:. I applied to a couple of hospitals so far that i heard were hiring, but i hope they do consider me with some experience. New grads keep youre heads up and take whatever you get offered. I never knew i was going to be laid off, but here i am. :(. It angers me,and i work for a for profit hospital.

Thanks everyone! to give you guys an update i interviewed at another hospital which is half the distance from my previous job with slightly better pay and they offered it to me today! Thank God!

Congrats! I'm so glad something new came through for you. Good luck at the new job!
