I interviewed for an ICU position...

Yes, hospitals are cutting back, just like everyone else. It usually does not affect nursing positions, but what is happening is that there is not as much turnover. Nurses are not quitting their jobs, or changing jobs right now, so there are fewer openings than usual. All that usually means is that a new nurse might not get the job she wants, or the hospital she wants, or the shift she wants. Nurses usually never have to look long for a job, but they may have to take a job that they didn't necessarily think they wanted or they might have to relocate.

Good luck Kimberly!!!
