    Do you think that the nursing job outlook will get better?

    hope3456 replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    My prediction is that the nsg job market will not 'open up' for another 4-5 years when alot of RN's will start retiring. Until then, there are so many grads coming out the nursing schools that it...

    Denver School of Nursing question??

    hope3456 replied to Coloradogrl's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I would not encourage you to pay the DSON costs - considering the job market in Denver (and elsewhere) for new graduate RN's. I would hate to graduate with such a large student loan and not be able...

    HELP! LVN from TX looking to move to CO

    hope3456 replied to Scottydk's topic in Colorado Nursing

    it is good that you are willing to be flexible. I don't think there are as many jobs to choose from in CO right now as there were a couple years ago - it would probably be a good idea to get...

    CO Independent Contractors (IC), Business Owners, Consultants

    hope3456 replied to innovativemurse's topic in Colorado Nursing

    There would probably be more independant contractor nurses if it we didn't need to depend upon our employers for our (and families) health insurance. Hopefully obama changes this

    hope3456 replied to angelstrings's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I'm not the expert but during my time in CO I heard that the southern part of the state (including pueblo/ Co Springs) was easier to get hired into the hospitals (as a new grad) than in the northern...

    hope3456 replied to JettaDP's topic in Colorado Nursing

    What I described was what was going on with new graduate hiring up to 1 year ago when I was working as a RN for PVH. Maybe things have (or are) changing, but if you look at the PVH online 'job...

    Hiring freeze?

    hope3456 replied to SunnyMargarita's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Moving to Fort Collins, info. please.....

    hope3456 replied to JettaDP's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Yeah I agree - Fort Collins is a awesome place to live. PVH is also a great hospital to work at. For these reasons, nurses 'flock' to this area and northern CO which creates alot of competition....

    hope3456 replied to JettaDP's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Need advice on hospitals in Denver!!

    hope3456 replied to Danzin's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I agree with semperfi that the 'shortage' (if it exists) is not as bad in CO as in other states. You definately stand a better chance since you already have hospital experience but i would recommend...

    no future here for nursing

    hope3456 replied to noon2moon's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses who were new grads during the last nursing glut - how did you get thru it?

    hope3456 replied to birdgardner's topic in General Nursing

    For those of us living in the 'glut' areas, it would probably be a good idea to email/notify the president of our college about the job situation facing the new grads in your locale. It costs...
