@Esme12, that is sad. My mom has been an RN for a long time & she says she can't retire.

Thanks for all the responses.

Wondering if any areas of the country are really experiencing a nursing shortage. It is a topic from my online RN-BSN class that got me wondering. From my personal experiences, I'd say no but I've also only worked in hospitals around big cities (Nashville & Dallas). Wondering what other folks might say.

Thanks, I will do that.

Hi all, I've moved to Dallas area in Aug 2013 from TN. Had some interviews in Aug but decisions deferred until I received TX license either temp or perm. Now, I've gotten TX RN license & am looking for advice/pointers on landing a hospital position. Have an AAS of Nursing degree, it seems a lot of hospitals prefer BSN. Have 3 yrs experience, 2 of those in M/S, tele, organ transplant & 1 year in skilled rehab nursing. Thanks in advance.
