I have worked at mercy for 5 years now and yes it is a great place to work and yes we are short no matter what our recruiters say... haha. I can only give you one good piece of advise find out where you want to work medsurg, ortho, family birthplace, ect..... and then go there ask for the nurse manager find out her name (I say her only because all of them are females lol) and talk her about yourself. Trust me there is not a floor that is not hurting for nurses right now. hope this helps pm if you have more questions!
