Nursing shortage my !! (Bay Area)

Published

There is, BY FAR, absolutely NO nursing shortage in California (at least, not where I live - in the Bay Area).

I am graduating in May and I am SO SO SO SO SO anxious that I will not find a job. Especially with the economy the way it is.

The hospital I used to work at (UCSF) and that I dream of working for when I graduate is currently on a hiring freeze (until who knows when). :( Although I will be doing my preceptorship there (YES!!):yeah:, I am still fretting to the point of - I swear - developing an ulcer. I owe waaaayyyyy too much $$ on loans to not work.

Coincidentally, I work as a unit secretary at a different hospital, but even that's no guarantee (I would rather work at UC, to be honest - I loved it when I worked at UC and I love academic hospitals).

A girl in the cohort that graduated last year still hasn't found a job....and she speaks Russian!!!!! (huge bonus points here).

Anyone else in the Bay fretting?:confused: :banghead:

I was lucky and got hired at SF General in April - but I have friends who graduated with me that are very discouraged and can't find any new grad openings. I am hoping for them! I wish you good luck too!

How long did you wait to get a job? SF general hospital hire? How many did they hire? Any specific questions/requirment need to be hired in SF general? What department you work for?

Also, by the way, My mom's co-worker's daughter got interview in March, SF general hospital, she didn't get hire. What 's wrong with that?

Do you mind i Contact you? or contact your classmates, Because I am by myself here. Nobody helps me.... My family members gave me face look. I felt depressed and don't know what to do.

thanks,

Yes you can contact me, but I don't think SF General is hiring at the moment - they hired a bunch of us a while back but most were people who were already CNAs or did clinicals there while in school. Drop me an email and if I hear anything I will let you know ...

Plenty of Nursing Jobs all over the USA. Search the net and find where they are hiring.

Thank you very much!

I keep looking online now. It is already one year. Do I need to take refresh class? Do you think the employer will hire the most fresh graduate?
