No jobs in Portland,OR area?

[FirefighterDoug]

I met yesterday with the ED manager for the new Legacy facility in Salmon Creek,WA. I was interviewing for a part time ER Tech position and expressed an interest in maybe going to school in the future to get my RN. The subject of available jobs came up and both the ED manager and the HR rep had quite a hearty laugh when I told them I had heard there was a job shortage in the Portland area. I do know the Legacy website has a lot of RN jobs listed so I did find a shortage hard to believe. If anyone is interested I will put a link to the Legacy website.

There are some real benefits with this new facility and Im really hoping I get the call. This is going to be a state of the art facility with no expense spared during its construction. If you are thinking of making a move to the Pacific Northwest in search of work keep in mind WA has no state income tax and sales tax free shopping is just a hop across the river! I hope this helps with those in search of work here in my neck the woods.

i know that job availablity goes in waves most places..when my dtr finished school she could not get a job in a hospital [shreveport, la] because she had no experience and the only new grads that they were hiring were previous lpns with hospital experience...she took a job in an outlying hospital..six months later they were screaming and begging for rns and she has not had any problems with employment since then
