Worried about being unemployed?

[want2banurse35]

Due to the fact that new grads are finding it increasingly hard to find employment, are you kind of nervous about becoming a RN? I have noticed one thing, the schools are still very competitive despite the fact that many new grads are unable to land jobs. Are any of you thinking about pursuing another career or are you like me and going to stick it out and hope for the best? I went to a nursing advising session at my school and i asked the rep about new grads being unable to find jobs and she kind of like brushed it off:confused: I guess she does not want to mess up the universities bottom line. I will be applying this fall so I am halfway there but it is scary wondering if I am going to have a job or not. And it's not just nursing several of my classmates in other majors are almost scared to graduate and face the reality of finding a job. This recession sucks big time:mad:.

No I'm not worried. It might take longer than I would have liked it to happen, but it will happen so I'm not gonna worry myself about it. I had a hard time getting my first job as a paralegal too, during the good ol days. Getting your first job is always tough, the economy makes it a bit tougher but I'm not worried about not being able to find work. It will happen.

Mangopeach, I was a workman's comp and med mal paralegal for 3 years. It was hard finding that first gig, but it did happen. What kind of a paralegal were you?

I was in personal injury - mostly car accidents and slip and falls - also worked at a white collar corporate firm for a short time.
