This is an unseen phenomenon when going into nursing. I have two associate degrees (RN associate and AA) and LPN diploma along with PALS, ACLS, first responder and a nice looking resume. I would like to know where all of these forecasted RN jobs are for the new grads, including myself. Every employment website states they want 3-5 years acute care experience. How in the world are we going to get experience if were are not even going to be given the chance to be hired? Clinical experience is not valid in employers eyes either. Minnesota has the highest rate of RN graduates. If you are considering going to school to be a nurse do not count your chickens thinking that you will have employers smiling and eagerly greeting you into their office to offer you a job after you pass your boards. Colleges make great money through the world of nursing, don't kid yourself... A college is a business too... They will go where the money is just the same as any other wise business.
