Hey, Has anyone heard anything about Franciscan alliance health or specifically St. Elizabeth's hospital in Lafayette, IN? New to the area and just wanted some background information on the hospital! Thanks!

Congrats on the job, Don! Thanks for the advice, everbethesame! I am started to get discouraged because of all of the jobs I have applied for and have been turned down for (sometimes within the day). Should I wait till I pass the NCLEX and get my license to apply for jobs? I have a phone interview this week for a residency program which is a start, but I am still nervous! What hospitals are more new grad friendly than others? Some posted jobs don't say that any experience is necessary so I don't know why I'm getting turned down. What is even more frustrating is that Indiana is completely new to me and I'm not aware of their laws/policies, etc. :-(

Don, That seems odd to me! Have you had any interviews or anything? Have you asked HR/nurse recruiters what to do? Do you have your BSN? I put N/A for license because technically I can't get it yet and put a side note that I graduate in December. We'll see how it works. I know a couple of nurses and nurse managers so maybe that will give me a little pull. I hope you have better luck Don! That must be so frustrating!

Hey all, I graduate in December and I am starting to apply for jobs in Indiana (Lafayette and Indy area) and was wondering how the job market is. There seem to be quite a few openings in the places I have applied, but I am just wondering how they are with actually hiring. Also, I am completely new to this, so I was wondering after you apply online should you call a week later and check on the status of your application? Thanks for all the help in advance!
