Nurses we are not hiring

I am hearing disturbing things from new nurses who are looking for bedside nursing positions.  I am also hearing bad things from older, hospital trained nurses who are looking to get back into the workforce and or job hunting due to relocations etc.

They cannot find jobs.  This is the situation in the UK and also in the USA.

Hospitals will tell you that there is a nursing shortage.  There is, of course, no shortage of Nurses.  Hospitals simply do no want to hire all the Nurses that are needed to care for the critically ill and complicated patients that are on the wards these days,  End of.

I found this video that was created by a new graduate Nurse. The best part is when the hospital manager tells the Nurse that since there are no jobs at the hospital he should go into long term care (nursing homes) whilst describing the conditions in those hellholes perfectly.

Check it out if you want.
