Ello~ I'm just curious to know, for those of you who are unemployed nurses, exactly how long have you been looking for work? What are you (LPN,RN,BSN-RN,MSN-NP,etc.) How many previous years of...
I'm a brand new LPN in NYC. Like most new grads, I am struggling with the frustration of finding places that will interview LPNs without that magical 1-2 years of previous experience. The jobs seem...
Yup, I sure do. Not because I dislike the job, but because there aren't any jobs and it will only get worse. I'm too intelligent to believe the lies about it being a
Sorry..but I agree with "S"! Unfortunately, med school isn't free and very few of us can afford not to work for 8+ years while we finish schooling..otherwise I would have gone for medical

Absolutely. I could KICK myself. I left a 50k desk job to pursue the passion. Although I knew it wasn't such an awesome field, I didn't expect to find out that BSN and MSN grads were still unemployed...
No & No. I posted about that actually. If they're lucky, they still have their RN jobs and are being paid as a RN. Otherwise, they're just about as SOL as the rest of
Apparently you do because you mentioned it. Speak for yourself. There are still a lot of people out there that think nursing is recession-proof and in demand. Visit the pre-nursing or student forum....
I'm a cheerleader of REALITY. There's nothing hostile about my post. If I'm hostile, I guess the entire group of unemployed nurses that replied is also hostile. Are we not allowed to vent? What does...
Sweetheart, if anything, I think you should read this thread first:https://allnurses.com/general-nursing-discussion/unemployed-nurses-530527.html Something just doesn't sit right with me encouraging a...
What do you find so unbelievable? Why does it bother you that I was smart enough to stop after I finished my LPN and reject my acceptance into the RN program? We're talking about unemployed nurses...
Laughing at me is the biggest sense of acknowledgment I've gotten so far. I doubt most employers even read my resume. I'm also disgusted with this field and I am glad you're doing something about it...
Sigh, just got back from running errands and stopped by a Rehabilitation Facility to ask them if they needed nurse volunteers. The assistant manager snickered and said something in tagalog to one of...
One of my friends is finishing her Childhood Education degree and makes $12/hr as a preschool assistant and she is happier than anyone I know. Her job is SO easy. Ok..well, easy if you love kiddos :)....
I don't care what ANYONE says..have you read the "Unemployed Nurses" thread? You are SO very lucky to have been hired. Places can say they don't discriminate ALL they want, but I've never met a...
I just noticed this thread has around 31,000 views! Amazing. All the threads on unemployment and harassment seem to have a HIGH amount of views..hmm..tells ya somethin'
Lol, omg I could have written that. You took the idea straight from my head . You are SPOT on, but there are still a lot of people who haven't seen it for what it is. I'm really glad I started this...
Hey there! I feel your frustration. While I did not complete my BSN (I'm a LPN) I am still a little bothered by the fact that I wasted any time. In fact, that bothers me much more than the insane...
Wow that's completely frustrating. Like I said..I used to waitress at a breakfast place and make double that. Sure, my hours were set at about 30 hours per week...but it was a pretty decent paycheck...
