I graduated may 2008, passed by boards last december..and have been looking for a job since. Now I'm basically in the same category as "new grads" because i didn't take my boards till the winter after i graduated. (not knowing the economy would be as bad as it is)
Now like everyone else i cannot find a job!! i live in the nj/nyc area. any ideas of what hospitals will take new grads? it seems everywhere requires experience. i've been on two interviews that went well but there are no jobs at the moment. it's really getting upsetting, hospitals need to allow for new graduates, otherwise when they finally do hire us we will have be out of practice for too long and orientation will not come as easy. anyone have any ideas as to where to apply?? or how to find RN jobs in doctor's offices?..and do they even hire new nurses? i can't find any, and i've tried just about every hospital in nj that is within a reasonable commute.
any help or encouragement would be appreciated
