Nurse Recruitment

Published

I had a very interesting conversation with a nurse recruiter at a family get together last night. The recuriter is not a nurse. It is common knowledge that nurse recruters in the area of S. California are not nurses. When I asked him why nurses are not recruiting nurses he said, "nurses are to stupid to do my job". His wife is a nurse, and she was sitting right there. The couple did not know I was a nurse, and they still don't. Very interesting!

Is it any wonder I have no faith in recruiters? My current hospital's recruiter tried very hard to get me to go into adult ICU when I had no interest in it. She even said they didn't have any jobs in my specialty. Well, I'm not so stupid I can't read their job postings on their website. Funny enough, suddenly jobs became available in my specialty when I said that I'd just have to apply at another hospital.... This is in So Cal too.

Oh, my. :eek:

And he thinks NURSES are stupid? If that gets around, no one will sign up with him or his company if that is the prevailing attitude. And then -- surprise! -- no job for Mr. Intelligent.

You better believe I'm going to hammer this guy. I've called three units in the hospital where this guy works, and I'm writhing a letter to the DNS.

His goose is cooked.
