I think I might have bitten off a little more than I can chew when I suggested to my unit director that our ER might need some work on diversity. We have committees already- rewards and recognition, mentoring, etc and we are getting ready to move into a shared governance set up within a few months.
My boss suggested that I start a cultural diversity committee [...]

I graduated in May 08 from a college in central Ohio. I passed the nclex and received my license this past August.

I have received offers in other states but have no desire to relocate. Does anyone know of any NEW GRAD RN positions in OHIO?

My friends are stuck working non-nurse jobs because no one wants to hire new grads.

Thanks.
