First, let me give you a little information. I live in the Inland Empire, CA and am trying to re-enter the Registered Nursing field after being out for ten years. I have just completed a Nursing Refresher course and have been looking for RN employment. If you ask anyone they will tell you there is a nursing shortage. I say there is a nursing shortage and a shortage of opportunities for nurses like me and New Grads. No one wants to spend any time or money to train or in my case “refresh” nurses. Instead, the recruiters are only interested in nurses who have had at least one year of recent experience. So, I am writing out of frustration for this has become a massive disappointment. I only hope that recruiters out there wise up soon and consider that there are many potentially great nurses out there just waiting and searching for an opportunity to join their organization. Please give us a chance.
