Hello everyone, I am new to Allnurses.com
I graduated in May and passed my boards this past July... Unfortunately I took my mom's advice (who is also an RN) and focused on my exam instead of applying for work. A big chunk of the new grad programs have passed and the ones starting in October have already filled up in the the Bay Area. I am trying to find work in the SF area, but unfortunately the programs are now all beginning in February.
If I can't find a program, can anyone suggest where I can work to make some money to meet my rent and other financial expenses? I was about to apply at my local Target for a job because I was so discouraged... From my knowledge, I can't just get a job anywhere because I am a new-grad.
I was originally applying to critical care training programs.. and my main goal is to find a hospital with a positive work environment and good support for new grads in training!
Any advice will help.
