Does anyone know...

Are any of the universities, community colleges, or nursing departments

doing anything to help new grad nursing students get jobs here on the islands?

Is anyone addressing this issue?

P.S. If you're new to this forum, and you don't know about the issues new grads face, please don't ask questions in this post. Read the dozen other threads that talk about how new grads can't find jobs. Please DO NOT repost the same questions here. Mahalo!

Just a quick clarification---no offense meant to the new grads out there. But there is a huge learning curve and it takes time to develop skills. New grads need the support of experienced nurses, not just other new grads.

It's just not fair to anyone---the patients, the experienced nurses, and the new grads themselves.

Yes, lately I have seen more of a trend towards hiring experienced nurses over new grads. For a while we were having one new grad class after another and putting the grads out on the floors and units in large numbers but not now.

Good luck to everyone out there who is looking for a job. It's sad to hear that people have worked so hard to get through school and now are faced with joblessness....:scrying:
