What am I doing wrong? (Hospitals & My Resume)

[MedSurger]

I have been applying, like mad, to any hospital I can get ahold of. I call the potential employer, asking if my resume and credentials have been reviewed, but I am rejected or I never hear back. I have 2 solid years of experience doing admin/clerical work for the same company. Sometimes, this is all the hospital requires for qualifications. I now have a BLS Healthcare Provider CPR and was accepted into a well-known and exceptional nursing program in the area. All of this doesn't seem to be impressing the hiring staff.

Any good, constructive criticism for me? I can take it :)

Thanks for any help!

With the job market being the way it is, there is a lot of competition. I mainly interview RNs, but regardless of the position I am always surprised at the size and depth of the applicant pool. We turn down people who would not have left the room without a job offer 4-5 years ago. As a couple of people said, you may not be doing anything wrong. It's tough out there.
