Don't give up new grads - Got my dream job!!!

Specializes in Cardiac Care.

I just wanted to share what happened to me today - a miracle!!! I graduated nursing school in May 2011, passed my NCLEX on June 19 and interviewed for my dream job on June 20th. For the next few weeks, I along with numerous interviewees shared our anxiety on an allnurses thread. As July 2nd approached, I started reading that some of my fellow interviewees were getting job offers. My phone was quiet. The following week I got the dreaded rejection email and I was devasted! I cried because I knew that the outlook for me in the next couple of months could be grim. I had gotten an amazing opportunity to interview at an amazing facility in the unit I wanted and I had blown it!

Out of the blue I got a phone call today offering me the position! A true miracle! Someone had to drop out of the program and my name was next in line! What are the chances? I prayed like I've never prayed before for this job & I guess today I got my answer! My advice to my fellow new grads is not to get discouraged. I read so many posts from frustrated new grads and I definitely feel your pain, but please don't give up. There are jobs out there I promise. About 5 or 6 other newly graduated classmates have also gotten jobs in other facilities. :redpinkhe
