[Insertion of USP nursing graduates into the job market: facilities and difficulties].
This descriptive, quantitative-based exploratory study was carried out between 2000 and 2005 and aimed at characterizing the profile of students who had completed the Nursing Course at the University of Sao Paulo. From the 465 graduates found in the period of the research, 175 (37.6%) provided responses for the data collection instrument. Their insertion in the job market occurred most of all into private hospitals by means of election processes in the city of Sao Paulo. The majority of the subjects remained in their first jobs from one to six months. The wage of the major part of the graduates ranged from US$ 950.50 to US$ 1520.00. In the data collection process, most of the researched participants had a formal job in private healthcare institutions, with average salaries of US$ 1437.50. Results showed that there was a quick insertion of the graduates into the job market.
