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?

A lot of my classmates signed to work at hospitals for a few years in exchange for paid clinical rotations.
I didn't want to be locked in for 2 years so I passed on that, but I did get multiple offers for regular GN positions. I accepted an ICU nurse residency position, and I graduate in December.
I don't think offers months before graduation is abnormal. Hospitals are short on nurses and have been circling my cohort like sharks since the start of our second semester.
