Who's hiring new grads in Michigan???

[smith576]

I graduated in may and am just beginning my job search. My boyfriend has had his heart set on finding a job in California, but the posts i've read have been very discouraging. I'm considering looking in Michigan since I'm already living and licensed here. I would like to live in Ann Arbor, Royal Oak, Grand Rapids, or Traverse City. If anyone knows of places hiring new grads in these areas I would love some direction with my job search! Although I would be willing to apply elsewhere if there were jobs! I would be willing to work in LTC or Rehabilitation, but would prefer a hospital setting. I also have an interest in mental health!

Thank you! I will check that out once I move back. I think there is less competition in the rural areas. The metro Detroit area is probably saturated like most other bigger cities.

If you check the classifieds you may notice that there are lots of RN jobs listed in the greater Detroit area.

Hello there!!! I am a new grad and looking to move to the Detroit Area, I am currently applying for a few positions but have some questions. Can anyone tell me what the starting pay for BSN

RN

would be in that area? I really need to have some idea about this to start budgeting. Also what is the dress code at Henry Ford? Do nurses have to wear a certain color, does it depend on the floor, etc....? I am also bilingual, is there any difference in pay for being bilingual? I see some answers but are a few years old and I am hoping to get some updated information. Help please!!!!!!! thanks!

At Henry Ford RN's wear ceil blue except in the ER they wear navy blue. There is no difference in pay for BSN or bilingual that I am aware of.

Henry Ford Wyandotte is hiring new grads as well.

Has anyone had any luck finding a position as a new grad? Does Michigan only hire BSN nurses? I am graduating in May with my ADN and starting the BSN immediately in the fall...

ADN nurses get hired all over MIchigan.

ADN nurses get hired all over MIchigan.

That is good to know! I keep hearing that hospitals will not hire ADN nurses. Right now I work as an LPN in corrections, so I am also wondering if this will affect my ability to find a position once I graduate from the ADN program.
