Factor One: Expectations vs. Reality

This can be a common affliction of the newly graduated/licensed nurse. They are being exposed to the now-common message from the massive nursing shortage - which is estimated to develop to over a million nurses by the year 2020 - and it has to some degree taken on a life of its, leaving the expectation by using such a critical shortage there will be job openings aplenty.

Though one million is a nationwide number, this doesn’t imply that each state - or community, town and city inside a given state - is equally impacted. For instance, it is also estimated that by 2020, 44 states and also the District of Columbia will face a vital nursing shortage. So what if you are licensed in one of the six states where the shortage isn’t as critical?

Also, just because there is a nursing shortage doesn’t mean that hospitals, clinics, etc. will hire just anyone. Most nursing schools have been expanding their programs and thus graduating more students; once licensed, these students are added to the applicant pool that a hospital has to choose from. So despite a shortage there\\\'s still quite a bit of competition for available slots.

Many newly graduated/licensed nurses possess a bulletproof sense about themselves and appear to think they hold all of the cards; however this is not always the case. For example, when the nurse looking for employment wants to work among the prime shifts, emphatically states they won’t work weekends, or won’t focus on a specific unit then these non-negotiable demands are met, she or he will limit their job choices.

I understand of at least one young nurse who complained to her fellow nurses on the forum about just such a circumstance. Imagine her surprise when nearly together the other nurses replied, tell her to obtain a grip. That with those expectations it might be a while before she’d find a match, unless of course she was expecting a healthcare facility to shift a current employed nurse to a different shift just to accommodate her preference.

Sometimes a nurse must wait a while for their plum assignment, as in the case of wanting to be a travel nurse. We’ve all seen the ads for these often long-term employment positions, where an agency provides the chance to work in various cities, states and even countries, thus quenching the roving spirit of some nurses. However, to be able to qualify for most travel agency positions a nurse generally needs at least two years of hospital-based nursing experience.
