So you took per diem jobs before you were offered a job elsewhere? They let you work without a NH license? Was your license from CT at the time? I am definitely going to get started on the licensing process now. I am getting the idea that they are VERY hesitant to hire externally. I will look into the traveling nurse job. So I literally just received a call from Wentworth Douglass and they told me they are interested in hiring per diem but that is the furthest hospital I applied to and don't think I would be able to work that far. Sorry for so many questions at once but you have been the only response in a while. I appreciate it!

The problem I face is since we are going to be in Southern NH and so close to the MA border, I didn't want to limit myself to NH hospitals yet. I have applied to nearly all the hospitals within a reasonable driving distance. Its now been almost three months since I have been applying and hope I hear something soon. Is there anything you did that helped you get the job? Calling HR? Maybe calling the nursing managers? I am trying to be patient here but it seems like such a hard market to get into right now. Thanks for any info.

I have tried applying to one job at the DHMC Manchester clinic w/ no reply (applied mid Sept.). I have started looking in Massachusetts now as well. At first I was against a longer commute (which I have at my current job) but now am okay with the idea of driving a max of 45 min. each way.

Hello to the NH nursing community! I am trying to move to NH as soon as I can get a job up there, which I was hoping some people could give feedback on. I currently work full time on a gen med floor in a large urban hospital in CT and have a little over a year of experience now. I applied to various RN jobs at all of the hospitals in Manchester/Nashua and some smaller hospitals in the area. Am I being impatient to want to hear back already since I applied the first week of September? What would the expected salary be for someone who is not a new grad anymore/has some experience? Do you think that I should have gotten a temporary license for NH prior to applying? (I applied to all of the jobs listing my CT licensure) Do you feel calling HR and asking them about the status of your application to be helpful or useless? Do you think the layoffs are having a huge impact on the hiring? Any information is very well appreciated!!
