The nursing shortage may have been temporarily stalled because of the downturn of the economy, but as the economy gets healthy again, and health care reform is implemented the nursing shortage has the potential to grow very rapidly. Helping new grads find work also encourages students to choose nursing and not run scared because new grads can’t find jobs. Post your tips and job information on The Nursing Site page on Facebook.
