  1. Best and worst states for new grads?

    It's nice to hear stories that convey optimism for new grads. Now if California would just turn around!
  2. Nursing job market

    Hello all, I'm trying to get a feel for if the nursing job market has improved. I seem to see things on here that go both ways, though a lot of the more pessimistic comments (but not all) seem to be from those who have ADN's. Is there any improveme...
  3. Abundant Opportunities

    props if for nothing else, invoking adam smith.
  4. New grad market improving?

    You hit on something that I've wondered about to friends and that is a window during which you have a chance to get something. I'm not sure that is any different for other careers/graduates but I believe it's definitely true for nursing. It worries...
  5. New grad market improving?

    I'd like to know what people's perceptions are on the new grad job market. Is it really improving? If so, what geographic areas are improving the most? Are there any places where it's just "good"? I haven't seen as many postings where people are ...
  6. New grad need job? Found this... South Florida

    What's interesting about it is if you go to their website, they have a little over a dozen jobs listed...some of which have a signing bonus! I don't see too many of those anymore.
  7. Unemployed? Student Loans? At least you didn't go to LAW SCHOOL

    i'd be curious to know what the numbers of actual graduates were in 2008 versus now. but as someone contemplating nursing school, i find studies like that which make the news to be more amusing than anything. it seems like when things like that are...
  8. Unemployed? Student Loans? At least you didn't go to LAW SCHOOL

    But this is the problem with models to begin with. All of us (myself included) tend to put too much stock in them. From the heady days of the housing boom when models showed prices only continuing to go up to models that showed the nursing shortage...
  9. Unemployed? Student Loans? At least you didn't go to LAW SCHOOL

    I can say that in my own research, I have seen some schools still pushing the idea of a nursing shortage while others are acknowledging that right now there is a surplus. I had a relative who wanted to do a radiology tech program herself because it ...
  10. Accelerated combined BSN/MSN programs?

    I've decided to wait for the cheaper program. It really came down to the financing I could get. It's not necessarily what I want to do but I think it's the better option. I've been saying for awhile now I thought the job market was getting better...
  11. Accelerated combined BSN/MSN programs?

    Thanks for your reply.The schools I'm looking at are reputable so I should have listed that. I don't have any concerns there. If anything, my concerns are that I'd potentially be paying private level tuition in one case and it's going to be serious...
  12. Is there anyone out there who can comment on accelerated combined BSN/MSN programs? Are these just a money-grab by schools or are job prospects better for graduates of these programs? Anyone do it and like/regret it? How much is too much for tuiti...
  13. Unemployed? Student Loans? At least you didn't go to LAW SCHOOL

    Does anyone know anything about the number of for-profit nursing schools? How many students do they graduate each year?
  14. Unemployed? Student Loans? At least you didn't go to LAW SCHOOL

    I actually just finished reading that story and was getting ready to post a link to it here! When I think about analogies between nursing school and law school, a few questions come to mind. I know nursing school is generally much cheaper than law s...
  15. Nurse: 'I was fired for refusing flu shot'

    I understand the arguments on both sides but all things considered, it seems to be a very slippery slope to start on. If the courts have to decide this, it will be interesting because depending on where one lives, a court may be liberal or conservat...
