when i started nursing school in the winter of 09, they were screaming for nurses...now i have just graduated after working so hard to get my license, and now have my license, and there is no one hiring unless i have at least a year experience. i was really looking forward to working at the correctional facility, but they want at least one year experience. i was at a few rest homes yesterday and they said they had lots of nurse applicants. feel discouraged and deceived.
