USA Today Article

[cicatrixx15]

I was leaving an appointment today and saw a USA Today article on the front page. It was about the difficulty for new grad RNs to get in finding a job. It's about time someone started talking about that instead of NURSING SHORTAGE, NURSING SHORTAGE!!

hahaha reading some of those comments shows me how many idiots we have in America

Yeah, some of them do sound totally ridiculous. They must have just read the first couple of sentences and then posted, because the article clearly states that new grads (in some areas!) are finding it harder to find a job than it used to be. It also states that the hospitals are usually hiring people with experience instead of new grads without any. People just want to bi*&h basically I think.

finally something I can send my family and friends who always like to tell me "oh you'll find something soon-nurses are needed everywhere!"

yeah........not so much if you are a new grad.

I spent my lunch break reading the comments and thought exactly the same thing. ... I hate to think some of those people can vote ... and are allowed to reproduce ...

Yes I read it - I saw on the front page as I left my volunteer shift at the hospital ironically lol. I even posted it on my fb page. I'm not happy to hear that I have about a 50% chance of not being hired once I graduate.... I worked too hard for that

Still, its good to be in reality, and it reaffirms my decision to develop CNA experience.
