Things are getting worst for NY nurses, since those two hospitals in Queens closed recently. Now Brookdale have laid nurses (and other workers) off, due to economic hardship, they've also instituted a hiring freeze (like other facilities). These employees had no warning. Its all over the news. Some staff were crying. So so sad. This is not looking good for nurses in NY right now. With hospitals closing, hiring freezes in effect at others, and the economy still on a downward trend, its going to be harder to get jobs as there is going to be a glut of nurses. Just like back in the early nineties. I feel really bad for the soon-to-be new grads.
Mabey someone know of some good news, to cheer things up? Or am I correct to be pessimistic about the employment situation in our profession?!
