RN turns barista...

I've been hunting for a while and finally got not only my preference of hospital, but the unit I wanted too.
The thing is, it wasn't until I really made the decision to start USING the network that I worked so hard to create. Too damn proud to say, "Hey Beth, you may not have any openings on your unit, but would you pass a copy of my resume around?" or "Jay your daughter in law, Becky, works at xyz hospital, could you put her in contact with me? I need some one to help with my resume because it's not working and neither am I." Once I realized, OK admitted, I needed some inside help the ball started rolling. Pull out those business cards that got passed out on career day, go back and talk to your instructors they've got contacts. Your classmates that are working are good referals too. And don't forget the State EMPLOYMENT OFFICE or website.
The other thing is location. In some areas there just aren't that many jobs which means you may have to relocate or extend your desired commute. Aggiegrad, I thought there were jobs in TX, maybe not in College Station, but San Antonio and Houston and several rural hospitals.
Oh, and look through the sticky thread about who's hiring at the top of this page.
Best of luck.
To answer the OP's question, yes I when I was satisfied that I had done all that I could do.
