So, today I applied for 11 different positions at hospitals in the area. I've never had luck with getting call backs before after applying online, so I'm pretty nervous. Some of the positions were really good, too! 8 of the positions I applied for are at the hospital where FI's aunt is a big wig informatics nurse, so I reaaaaaally hope she can hook me up! I really need to get one of these jobs as a nurse tech/student nurse extern to work during my last semester, because it gives you a better chance of getting hired after graduation (as an internal hire). Since the economy sucks major right now, most hospitals have hiring freezes randomly and even though there's a nursing shortage, many nurses are having a lot of trouble finding jobs post-graduation. I can't be one of them! Plus, FI and I could use the money so we can start looking at houses. Everyone seems to be having good luck from the Knottie vibes these days, so I figured I'd give it a try, too. Thanks girls!!
