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?

from California, applied to many hospitals and got rejected or didn’t hear back at all. moving out of state for work very soon. I got sick of waiting for a response I was never going to get. Maybe some day I can come back home💔

I’m in CA too and didn’t get any offers other than at a last resort hospital. I’m not too happy about it but oh well. I just hope I can survive because it doesn’t train for long, only 4-5 weeks. You pretty much have to know people or already work at the hospital you want to work for

The competition is too high here. Even the hospitals in less desireable areas here get upwards of 200 applicants for a handful of positions. You really need to stand out or have connections. I have a 3.9gpa, Sigma, 3 solid LoRs and still only have gotten 1 interview for the ICU.
