WOW, it only took them a year to find work?????
I know people who have been doing volunteer work at a free clinic for the homeless and those who can't afford health insurance (to keep their skills up,)
Paying state fees to maintain their licenses, buying supplies and driving long distances to help out at these clinics
while working other jobs to boot for over three years
AND they spend 10 to 20 hours a week looking for a job in nursing.
Still; for some reason, they can not find work in health care.
One of my friends was working as a CNA and is now unemployed because she got her Nursing degree.
This is not how things are saposed to be happening; yet, here we are.

This is an interesting discussion. Somehow this is really a cycle that is being experienced by the nursing profession.
I agree with your cyclic hypothasis Amygarside.

Our fearless leaders in washington have made things worse by dropping reembursment payments by 25% and of course the insurance companies are all jumping on the band wagon with the government, this in turn is costing even more jobs to be cut in turn driving more and more people to the poor house, putting an even greater strain on the system as a whole requiring those who do have jobs to work longer hours for even less pay.....................................
Do we see where this is going folks?
Someone in government has to see this isn't working.
If at first you try something and it blows up in your face........................
I for one would not try that something again. EVER.
