1. Moving to Tennessee from New Jersey

   Dalton replied to lilNJrn's topic in Tennessee

   Vanderbilt pays the lowest of all the major hospitals in Nashville. I would suggest sending resumes to all the local hospitals and see who offers you the best deal. The cost of living in TN is MUCH lower than in NJ which is one of the highest taxed s...

   Dalton replied to TNgirl2010's topic in Tennessee

   Vandy will pay the lowest of all the major hospitals in Nashville. We know since we applied to most of them. Although you will have the best chance of getting hired there since Vandy actually prefers hiring new grads. Many of the other hospitals are ...

3. What's it like to live in Nashville?

   Dalton replied to Vida's topic in Tennessee

   Vandy is fine if you're a new grad desperate for your first job. Actually Vandy prefers to hire new grads since their pay is so low. For nurses with experience there are other hospitals in the area which pay much more. Also the parking situation is a...

7. How much is your pay?

   Dalton replied to rainbowcak3's topic in General Nursing

   I have many friends from Canada who come to the United States for their health care rather than wait months for simple medical procedures back in Canada. Same story in the UK. The single payer system is a failure and the fact that you believe a propa...

8. How much is your pay?

   Dalton replied to rainbowcak3's topic in General Nursing

   I stand by my previous statement regarding unions. It seems you have a problem with opinions differing from your own. Not surprising coming from a union member. Not used to having individual thoughts are you? I post because I have an interest in my w...

12. Houston doesn't like me!!!

    Dalton replied to twilight3's topic in Texas

    It's experience that they're looking for. There certainly is still a nursing shortage in Houston. As well as the rest of Texas. The three major Houston hospitals have been in the New York/New Jersey area numerous times over the past year hiring exper...

    Dalton replied to jojo19's topic in New Jersey

    There is a lot of demand for RN's in other states. I know of many nurses who have relocated recently. We had three large hospitals from Texas last week at the Nursing Spectrum Career Fair in Teaneck, NJ. Seems the shortage is much worse down there. T...

15. new grad, cant get hired

    Dalton replied to jojo19's topic in New Jersey

    My wife went through the exact same thing 8+ years ago as a new grad. She must have sent resume's to 20 different hospitals and didn't get one response. She eventually had to accept a job at a nursing home just to get some kind of nursing experience ...
