Desperate New Grad here looking for a job anywhere in the country! Do you know anywhere that's hiring new grads? I graduated Dec, 2010 and I am hoping to do a new internship in few months before applying for jobs. I wanted to know what's out there.

Depending on what states (i.e., CA) you're looking at, you're considered a "new grad" up to the 12th month after your graduation date and applications are restricted to those dates that they will look at. Some also have zero RN experience to be accepted, some up to 6 mo or less, some less than 1 year.
CA for example also has a 43-48% unemployment rate for new grads, cited in the CA BON 2011 nursing survey. -

If she does another internship, regardless of a regulatory time limit, the clock would probably be reset, anyway. - Aug 12, '12 by Jennie.KQuote from turnforthenurseRNScott and White in Temple does usually have positions open and will hire new grads with a BSN. Metroplex in Killeen will hire new ADN grads if you work as a nurse tech.

Yes, new grads get hired but the application rate for internships and hospitals in major and moderate sized cities vary from 300-600 applications per opening.
If you are willing to live in a less exciting place while you get experience, there are jobs more easily procured in areas that are less desirable to live in due to remoteness and poverty. Some of those areas have hospitals still offering sign-on bonuses.
