Thanks Cami, I appreciate your insight on the matter. I think down town Detroit is a great place to learn, and yes, I have applied to many of the hospitals there (Henry Ford, DMC...) and still waiting to find something. I think that part of the issue is that I did not take the NCLEX yet (graduating May 6th, NCLEX is June/ July), so I hope the situation will be different once I have my license. I will be in MI in 2 weeks and planing to submit my resume and cover letter in person to most of these places. Thanks again Chaim

Thank you for your response, That's not a bad idea. I have a cover letter and resume that I've put together with the help of a career counselor. I'm planing on going places and submitting cover letter and resume to HR in person. Thanks again

Thank you for the info. In almost every application I filled there was a question "do you have a MI license". I tried calling some of them to get some answers, but there were not really helpful. I thought on going there myself, and I think that's what I'll do once I'll be there. Thanks again for your help Chaim

Hi all, Firstly, I must say that I'm very excited to have found this forum :yeah:and looking forward to gain more knowledge form other experienced nurses out there. Allow me to briefly introduce myself. My name is Chaim Leiberman, 28, Male, soon to be a daddy to a baby girl, living in Evanston, IL. I'm about to graduate form University of Illinois at Chicago Nursing school (May 6th), and about to take the NCLEX around June/July. I'm interested in finding a job around Detroit, MI (my wife's family is form there, mine are in Israel). How long typically does it take till I can find a job? I'm a bit worried that my girl will be born and I still won't have a job. Additionally, I feel as the process of online application is missing the human interaction, meaning, if I don't fill in the box that I have my license the computer screens me out and if I can only give my resume to an actual human being and they can have a brief impression of me it will be much different. Did anyone have the same experience? I appricate your response on the metter and any help will be welcomed. Thanks
