What To Do!!!!

Published

:angryfire I have put in soo many applications to various hospitals in Dallas and Fort Worth. ( I prefer the Dallas area however) I know that I have the qualifications. I am seeking a NICU position, which I already know are hard to come by just from the amount of openings. What are you to do when no one will call you? I am thinking about just going up to the hospitals and talking with someone in HR! What are some of you guys advice?

i am from alabama and vacationed in texas a week ago...went to the forthworth area......just go to the hr depts. and ask to talk to the representative . i did just that and was interviewed by the nurse managers a day after without any problem. maybe that will do well for you too.. goodluck.;)

and request to speak with the nursing recruiter...keep in mind, don't go around lunch time, too early in the a.m. or too late in the afternoon (after 3:30 or so), sometimes they make excuses not to see you during those busy times. Good Luck!

Fax your resume and a cover letter directly to the unit managers - dont wait for HR to send it to them or for them to pull it up.

In addition - keep in mind that most of the units will have just started new grads and interns in May so they may very well have all positions filled at the moment - You may need to work for an agency for a month or two to either get your foot in the door or bide time.
