I have yet to find one hospital that is not on a hiring freeze here in Chicago. Many hospitals are posting openings, however when HR return calls your told everything except come in for an interview. The jobs are there, the hospitals just aren't letting you in right now. Experienced or not, no one wants to take the risk and responsibility of hiring at a time like this. It sucks. So Nurses be smart, if you are employed be thankful!!!!!!!

Thanks for the response. I'm currently reading previous post and I would like to say that it seem useless to even approach this idea. There are so many "OPINIONS" posted, I'm looking for pure facts. I understand that the pay is less but I was seeking experience. Just wanted to see nursing in a different light thats all. Not sure if its worth the effort but I have learned that any experience builds character..... thats what I'm on. Would you happen to be familiar with the agencies (continental travel nurse/ regent personal) that staff hospitals in UK or Dubai. Didn't want to submit my personal info across the world without suffice. Again, thanks for your help.

HI. I'm a travel nurse in the US, interested in working in UK or Dubai. Please recommend an agency/agencies for licensure and/or other required info. Any and all current info regarding travel overseas will be greatly appreciated. Please advise.
