I'd like to know where it is because it's not in New Jersey. This is very discouraging. Unfortunately, I hear that it's not what you know but who you know and I guess I don't know the right people. But, now I'm here in certain hospitals there are hiring freezes. I cannot believe for the last two years of nursing school I have heard nothing but NURSING SHORTAGE, NURSING SHORTAGE. I have heard "oh, the nurse recruiters will be trying to recruit you while you are still in school". Ha! What a load of crap! I have sent out about 30 applications and I have had one interview. I have applied to every hospital north, south, east and west. Well, I do have two interviews tomorrow, but I know what I'm going to hear...we have nothing right now, but we'll certainly keep you in mind. I also heard from one recruiter since I don't have PCA or PCT experience I probably couldn't get into her hospital. So, I have spent two years in nursing school, had nursing shortage drilled into my brain, only not to find a job or to be told I don't have enough experience to get into a "New Grad" RN position. Ok! Maybe I'm stupid, what gives?:angryfire
if you are in northern new jersey clara mass continuing care west hudson is hiring for full time 3-11 and 11-7 benefits are great and once you are comfortable you can transfer within the system which is saint barnabus. good luck all!
Wow, that's not good to hear about. A friend of mind actually had the same problem (the hospital based nursing program that issued her degree wouldn't even hire her or her classmates) T
