Have any of you graduated nursing school and looked for a job in a hospital recently. Do any of you know any graduates looking for jobs? The field is flooded with graduates trying with no luck to get a hospital job because THERE IS NO SHORTAGE OF NURSES, hospitals have been closing left and right and experienced nurses are being hired instead of nurses straight out of school. In order to get a decent job in a hospital you need 2 YRS HOSPITAL EXPERIENCE. How do you get the experience if you can’t get your foot in the door? And the only available jobs if at all is the night shift and weekends. How are you going to manage that if you are frum? PLEASE talk about what you know!!!
The available opportunities if you are lucky is a per diem job or a float nurse in a hospital but that doesn’t guarantee you work because you can be canceled daily and you don’t get benefits. Other Nursing jobs are Home care and depending on how many hours you are working, you might or might not be eligible for benefits. But benefits do not cover travel and car expenses. In addition, even if you work in Managed Care/Home Care or a doctor’ office this will not be enough experience if you want to get a Hospital job in the future.
Not only do I not think this is a good idea for young men, at this time it is no longer a good idea for young women!
