OKAY, THIS IS CRAZY! I JUST MOVED BACK IN THE COUNTRY,BACK HOME HERE IN NASHVILLE. I CANT BELIEVE I CANNOT FIND A JOB! I HAVE BEEN A RN FOR 8 YEARS, WITH A BSN, AND HAVE WORKED LEVEL 1 TRAUMA AND ER THE MAJORITY OF MY NURSING CAREER. IT SEEMS LIKE YOU HAVE TO KNOW SOMEBODY ON THE INSIDE JUST TO GET A JOB! I HAVE APLLIED FOR ER POSITIONS IN MOST THE HOSPITALS IN NASHVILLE AND HAVENT HAD ANY RESPONCES. WHATS UP WITH THAT? AM I CURSED? IF ANYONE KNOWS OF ANYTHING, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!:sniff:

I am feeling your pain! My situation is slightly different though...I am an experienced RN. Have 10 years of experience...med-surg, same day surgery, travel nursing, critical care. Have been off with children for 6 years, recently got re-licensed, have applied for about 20 jobs and not even a LOOK from anyone! What a slap in the face for me...when I was even a new grad I got every job I applied for! It has been a real shock that I haven't even got one interview. Where is this so called nursing shortage????

Specializes in NICU.

i would think you could find something at vandy...especially if you start applying now to start sometime this summer...if not, then in the fall...there are lots of students at vandy who work at vandy also...maybe nurses getting their masters who will graduate in the fall/end of summer and will quit...
