Nursing shortage?

Published

If there is such a nursing shortage why does it take WEEKS for recruiters to get in contact with candidates? I am becoming so frustrated I just want to go back to doing what I used to do....

I have been having the hardest time finding a job in Atlanta. I have applied at every hospital in the area with only 2 inteviews... that went great, just didn't like the offers.

If there is a shortage I sure can't tell.

Sick of it all!

To add, I did NOT turn down any offers, just hoping something comes along soon before I loose everything over the next 3 months waiting.

If you can't wait until February then for pete's sake go to a nursing agency and work for one of them until that time rolls around. Or work at something else to get money coming in. I've been jobless for months at a time and just expect that when things get tight. I've relocated twice just to have a better chance at finding work. I didn't want to relocate, I had to. There is no nursing shortage. Your expectations are colliding with reality.

okay, I can empathize with your frustration

how have you been keeping afloat until now? 2-3 months will cause you to sink?

what did you used to do?

Specializes in Med-Surg.
I didn't turn any offers down... as I edited it to make that more clear, I merely stated I didn't like the offers I was given...

Why have we moved so far off point? Now it has become my own fault that I can't find a job in the middle of a nursing shortage...

Please lock this thread.. it is becoming redundant.

Thanks for the clarification.
