Re: New Grad RN and Cannot Find employment Originally Posted by caribbeanbeauty 
Hello everyone;
I have had my Licence for almost six months now and have not been able to find employment. I was wondering if anyone is experiencing the same thing. I graduated in 2007, but passed the nclex, late January, none of the hospitals are hiring. Some of the nurse recruits said they have contracted with the school and are taking most of their the New grads in my area. Aslo, most of hospitals, nursing homes, and nursing Agenc, everywhere I go, they are asking for experienced nurses. It can be very frustrating sometimes. It seems like it took me forever to pass the NCLEX and now I can't find a job.
arrggghhhh...
If you are experiencing similar situations, please share your thoughts with me. Thanks.
I feel the same! I got my MD RN License in May. I graduated in a foreign country 10 years ago and worked as an ICU nurse for 6 years.
But I have NOT been working for almost 3 years. I have been looking for a job in many hospitals. Nowadays, less job opennings to public, and most positions are PRN. That means no salary guarantee, so I still won't be able to pay my Apt. rent if I choose a PRN job. I don't know how I can get a full time job here. I understand you completely...........
