What nursing shortage?
5 posts back to top |
Posted over 3 years ago I am a RN-ADN and have 15 years of experience, yet I cannot find a job. Why is that? Where is this nursing shortage? Why should I have to move or go back to school to get a job? Most of the jobs that I have seen available require a BSN + ? years of experience in that field. Either that or I am being recruited to move somewhere far from my home to work. So here I am going back to school to get my BSN. Maybe even continuing on for my DNP or PhD. It should not be that hard for a ADN-RN to get a job. Is it the magnet program that is causing this? |

| Posted over 3 years ago I am just curious, what part of the country do you live in that you are having this problem? |

| Posted over 3 years ago And your profile declares "Non-practicing nurse". If you haven't worked in a while people are reluctant to hire you even if your license is active and in good standing. I don't see how a BSN would solve your problem is the issues I mentioned apply to you presently. |

| Posted over 3 years ago There are jobs out there, a lot of it depends on what your willing to do, and where your willing to work. Med/surg always has takers. We're so short, my employer is offering bonus pay for each 4 hour shift we do beyond our usual work ($50 per 4 hour bonus, plus time and a half if it is OT). Most of us at my employer only have ADN or diplomas. |
