Where are the new nurse jobs?

Published

In every state's forum it seems there are a lot of new grads looking for jobs and are unable to find them. It also seems there are people in each thread that tell us to look elsewhere, even giving some suggestions, but when you look at the other states suggested, you find the same problems. Is there any place in the continental US that is looking for new grads right now? I'm preferably looking for a more urban area as it will help my husband find work more easily because he is kind enough to give up his job so I can find a nursing position. I just don't know where to really look at this point.

im starting a new job as a new nurse in a couple of weeks. Im really scared. I haven't done any nursing since i graduated in may. I'm afraid that I have already forgotten all my skills. Any advice? i started watching videos and reviewing. I have no idea how long orientation lasts. I hope they just don't expect me to be a perfect nurse. I believe in time I will be more comfortable and learn the ropes , but right now i'm really scared!

facilities understand.....they don't expect perfection at the beginning or ever, thank goodness. They do expect you to do your best, and practice as a sensible prudent nurse. Congratulations on that new job. It just goes to show that persistence pays off. You'll do great!
