I have been in the United States for eight years and I had both nursing & physician's education from Russia. I have had experience working as a phlebotomist and lab assistant here in the United States. Recently, however, I have decided to complete the Nursing Board requirements to become an RN in California. I had a defficiency in two classes, Mental Health and Maternity. I took these classes at a community college. After this, the Nursing Board gave me permission to take the NCLEX. I passed on my first try and got my licence. Now, I still don't have any calls or interviews from the employer, despite applying at multiple places. Do you think that this has to do with my history of being a physician on my resume? The jobs all say that they want experience, but where can I possibly get Nursing experience in the United States if I'm not being hired for any jobs? What can I do? Please help me! Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
