Congratulations new RN! The job market here (CO) is horrible for all nurses but particularly for new grads or non-hospital experienced. Don't know about where you are but what I do know about your situation is that you have a huge amount of tenacity and courage. You won't give up and you are willing to work hard. Don't sell yourself short; I believe you will get a nursing job and eventually you will progress to whatever job you desire.
