North CA/Bay Area new grad experience

by natalyk

I recently graduated with BSN and just took the NCLEX. Have been applying for jobs all over CA for the past four months and haven't had a single interview. Anyone with similar experiences?

I know that it's been tough for a while and new grads are not able to find jobs. My questions is what people are doing meantime? Did you go back to school? Are you working as a nanny?

This situation is very frustrating. We've all worked really hard to get through the nursing program, to pass all the tests, and I now many of us can't get jobs.

Please share your thoughts and feelings.



P.S. also, if anyone have any job suggestions please share

i'm going through the same thing and it's very frustrating and discouraging. i can only hope it gets better soon.

i'm lucky enough to have family who has been supporting me while i've been looking.

When did you graduate? have you had any interviews?

I graduated this month, but have been looking for the past four months. I probably applied for at least 100 jobs and haven't had a single interview
