You need to get contact with the Human Resource Department at the hospital in question, the nurse recruiter should be there. Just ask for her, and good luck.

I would like to bring above article to your attention, and if someone could research nurses websites concerning the huge difficulties to find a nursing job for fresh graduates. The article in newsweek gives the interpretation that in this country we are not willing to do nursing job. This is far from the truth. Most new grad nurses beg for a job, and many months goes by without any result. The problem is two fold, the first year of RN must work in pair with another RN. This is expensive for the hospitals, so they deeply cut back on their new grad positions. But yes, Americans are ready and willing to do the job, if only they would have a place to begin. I wonder if some of us responded to comment in Newsweek, because what she has written is not the full picture.
