Is it just me or is the economy really not to bad as a nurse. I see a lot of post saying that there are absolutely no jobs available. This is not true, I don't mean to brag but here in Virginia, I have had 3 different jobs this year. Corrections, ltc, and some agency work. I plan on moving to ft laudereale Florida in the fall, so I contacted a couple ltc facilities down there and received over the phone interviews for positions and I don't even have a Florida nursing license yet. I only have 3 years experience as a lpn. It just seems easier than everyone makes it seems. Mcv which is the magnet trauma center here in Richmond, is offering 10,000$ sign on bonuses for rn's to sign on for 2 years! I start rn school in August. I haven't been affected one bit by the economy. Just gas prices. Lol.
