Where are the Decent Job sites

[mctavishcat]

Hello everyone,

I will not be graduating until the end of the summer, but I like to look around for jobs just to see whats out there. The problem is once I begin to look online, I get overwhelmed by spam. I do not trust Craig's List. I am interested in working in wound care, or a wellness clinic, but am prepared to take almost any job just to get my foot in the door. I will be living in NYC, so if anyone has experience in the hunt for nursing jobs I would love to hear your tale. Take care everyone!

Definitely search directly at clinics/hospitals in your area. Look at a map online, center it on your house, and search "clinic" or whatever word you want. Then you can start looking at websites or calling for more info.

That will give you a good starting point to see what is out there, what kinds of positions are open. I got overwhelmed by some of those massive job sites as well, and found that simply searching your area on an online map was a much easier way to start to "get my bearings".

Just my 2cents!

Indeed.com

It will show you jobs available in your area and has an option to send you job alerts.

Thanks for that. I'm sure that will work better than Craig's List!

I would encourage you to apply at LTC/rehab, any hospitals in your area, clinics, etc. While you do seem opposed to Craigslist, they are good for finding home health private duty jobs as well as flu clinic or health fair jobs, which should be options to keep open if you don't find full-time work.
