New Grad LPN from Michigan!!!!Need a job!!

Published

Is it worth it looking for a job within Michigan or do I go somewhere else such as in Chicago, Indiano, Ohio, New Jersey? What's my best bet? I hope to talk to people that are in the similar situation that I'm in. Let's look for jobs together!!!

Well, considering the fact that Michigan boasts the highest unemployment rate in the entire country, perhaps you may wish to consider relocating southbound. Nursing is not recession-proof, and some of the hardest-hit states (Michigan, California, etc.) are quickly running out of nursing jobs.

Thanks for the input guys. Luckily I have an interview for this Monday with Spectrum HealthCare in Grand Rapids. Wish me good luck. If I don't get this one, my next visit is going to be in Chicago. What do you guys think about Chicago and their current employment situation for nurses?
