Impossible for find a job for a new RN


I am a new grad from Ivy Tech with an RN license. I have been looking for a job at Indiana hospitals with no luck whatsoever for several months already. Not even a phone call from a recruiter or an interview. I graduated on top of my class with a GPA of 3.92, but I do not have any hospital experience, which I am sure is hurting my chances to find a job right now. But, on the other hand, I am sure I am not the only RN graduate who was not working in a hospital during school. Has anyone else faced this problem? Any leads? Really love nursing, but just can't get in...

Apply at the places where you had clinicals & use your instructors as references. That's what worked for me.
Good luck

Unhappy Re: Impossible for find a job for a new RN
WOW....i guess it's EVERYWHERE where New Grads are having such a hard time landing positions. I live out in NorCal and i haven't had any luck either. This "nursing shortage" they claim to have is a bunch of bull if you ask me!!!! Now how are we as new grads supposed to gain experience if NO ONE wants to train/hire us?!?!?! SO FRUSTRATING!!! Good luck to us ALL!!!

What part of Indiana are you located? That will help with suggestions in your local area. =)

I know that Tipton, Howard Regional, St. Joseph, & Dukes Memorial all have openings listed on their websites. They are all around the Kokomo area.
