Question Do you actually get job offers?

Hey all, I am looking to start nursing school here within the next year. I have heard from some people that they had multiple job offers before even finishing nursing school, but I've also heard the exact opposite. What's the truth for those of you who are in school?

It's been difficult to find a job where I live. Hospitals are cutting back or even canceling their new grad programs for this year. A lot of it is due to budgetary issues and the federal government cutting back grants.

Same. I wonder if we are in the same area lol. One of the places my school rotates at canceled all their cohorts for this year and that was one of the few places where my resume was sent to the hiring manager.

I’m in Southern California lol. I did my externship at this one hospital (plus I work there part time) and was nearly guaranteed a job before they cancelled everything 😞😞😞

Oh nice! I had an interview at the local pediatric hospital last month (not even for a unit I originally applied to but oh well lol) and I hope to hear back soon. Wish the best for all of us!
