ATTENTION NEW GRADS: get e-mails about job openings!

[HeartsOpenWide, RN]

If you sign up for American Association of College of Nurses you will get weekly e-mails from AfterCollege Career Network Digest which sends you a list of new Job openings and New Grad programs all over the country. You can directly click on the link to a job you are interested in and it will send them your resume (you upload) or directly take you to the hospital (depending on how the hospital set it up with AfterCollege). You could virtually apply to several hospitals every week that you might have never known were even hiring.

I can think of a few new grads who will be really happy to see those listings.
