U.S.A. Florida

:banghead:

Ok, I'm sure you've heard this plenty of times....but I can't obtain a job as a new graduate. I tested and passed my boards since July 29. I am so frustrated and disheartened by the experience. All I do is sit at home and apply and apply. :typing

I've applied to every hospital in Miami-Dade: Jackson, Baptist, Mercy, Mount-Sinai, Westchester, UM, etc, in Broward: Memorial, Broward health, cleveland clinic, holy cross, etc.

I can't get a job. I even went to Mount-Sinai's open house for nurses and even got an interview, then was told they are not hiring anyone right now. :confused: What's a new RN to do?! Is anyone else having the same difficulty as I am?!:scrying:

Hiya, Im a canadian and will be moving to Miami this summer to pursue an RN at MDC, then plan to upgrade to BSN. I get 1 year to work in the states after completing my RN, and am wondering about job prospects as well.

I am a Registered Massage Therapist and completed a 2 year program here in Canada, I have been working in a therapeutic setting alongside physios and chiros for the past 2 years doing rehab/remedial/sports massage, so have clinical experience and a solid knowledge base already. I am also currently working on completing Yoga Teacher Training.

Do you all think that this kind of experience will give me an edge when applying for jobs? I understand that massage education in the states is pretty limited - Ontario and BC have the highest level of required education for MTs in the world, clocking in at 2000 hours. I've also kept up with training and have taken a variety of other courses since getting my license. Im hoping to make the most out of my 1 year work experience term and land a good job! I am hoping that recruiters wont poo poo my massage background, as it was a pretty intense schooling experience....(I just watched "The Client List" with Jennifer Love Hewitt and cringed all the way through!)
