Florida New RN Needs Job!!!

Nurses New Nurse

hi to all...i am writing because i am about wits end with the job searching. i worked so hard in school, i had impeccable grades, i had a great reputation as an excellent, intelligent student with all my professors both in lecture and in clinical. now after i passed my boards i am finding it impossible to find a job.

i have sent out i don't know how many applications. i send at least 5-10 a day. i currently live in miami but i have sent applications everywhere from miami up to orlando. that's as far as i can really go in regards to relocating. i have sent personal letters with my resume to nursing recruitment at different hospitals. nothing.

so my question is...does anyone have any suggestions? is anyone aware of hospitals that do hire new grads? i know of some that have the versant program but that would mean i have to wait til january to apply and if i do get accepted, i have to wait til march to work. i cannot afford that right now. i stopped working to go to school full time and can't continue to not work now.

please send me your suggestions :uhoh3:

Thank you Brenda. I am willing to drive up to 50-55 miles each way. You are right, is only three times a week so is doable. I am open to day or night shift. I just want to start working already. I am afraid I am forgetting all I have learned in nursing school. I am not starting my BSN until I have a good six months on the new job so I will not have added stress of a new job and school. I am trying to keep positive, and not let myself get down, but it is becoming harder and harder each day.
