I was reading an article in my local paper today about how the county hospital nurse recruiter admits to "wine & dine" new grads, and says all the hospitals do it, as they all need nurses. I know the senior class of our program this year had luncheons at least twice from area hospitals with a "please come work for us!!" theme. I was curious as to those of you who experienced the same from future employers while you were in school, or after graduation.

But in the end I went to work for the hospital that I worked for in the first place because my boss helped me so much with my schedule and understanding with me being a single mother and working full time and going to school fulltime. Like the saying goes "Dance with the one that brung ya."
