Hi guys!

I'm graduating next week, and just got my first job! So, after 150 applications to hospitals within a 60 mile radius of Atlanta, GA, I have not gotten one call back. I decided to start applying out of state. I applied to jobs in Texas and Oklahoma because those areas seem to have the most promise. After 8 applications in Tulsa, I had 3 interviews and got 3 job offers. I decided to take a job on a medical cardiopulmonary floor. They do telemetry, care for all kinds of cardiac patients as well as renal failure patients and post-kidney transplants. They also have drips and vents, and do hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. I also got $7000 to pay off student loans for a 2 year commitment. Just thought I'd share that there are places hiring new grads. Wish me luck!!!

Congratulations on getting the job. I wish you the best of luck in your career. I live in New Jersey. I got my license here about two months ago after passing the Nclex on the first shot but have not found anything yet after applying liberally throughout my state. I am currently volunteering at a free clinic just to keep at least some of what I have learned as fresh as I can and have now started to apply out of state. I am willing to relocate anywhere for a full-time RN position in any kind of healthcare facility. I noticed that Georgia is not party to the compact agreement among certain states (neither is New Jersey) and I was wondering if you (or anyone else) had any tips on how to approach potential, out of state employers in online applications and cover letters. Obviously, I would like to have a current license in every state I am applying to, but this obviously is not realistic.
