unemployed
still looking for a regular stint. there are some per diem positions available, one of which i will be training for next week. finding 3-11 32hr/week is another story. a DON knows that she can get a foreign RN here for the same wage she must pay someone like me.. hence the 9 month wait for a real job. it's a darn good thing i'm pretty healthy for my age, and i don't need alot of presc. meds.

"she may well be competing with nurses from other countries i.e. the Phillipines etc. as it's a common practice to bring them here and give out our jobs."
Hi. I noticed your comment on Jenny Gordy's blog and just wanted to say I'm sorry that you're having a hard time finding a job in the nursing field. I also wanted to say that my mother (South Korean) immigrated here in the 70s as a nurse. This outsourcing of nursing jobs has been going on for a really long time. It's a much more complex issue than that of recruiting cheaper labor to take away jobs from Americans, and I hope you don't think too unkindly of these foreign nurses (who may or may not be future citizens).
firstly, my grandparents immigrated from Italy.
secondly, profit and loss isn't complex, it's a simple math concept.
thirdly, i stated the facts, which aren't always presented to students until after they graduate.
please don't make my comment into more than it was intended to be.
