Have you looked into psych nursing? There are usu jobs available, as it is a "less desirable" field for many nurses (I work in psych so this is not true for everyone!!). Even if you dont want to stay in psych, you could get your foot in the door in a hospital and get exp. with meds, etc. Try the Steward (St Elizabeths) system-- last I checked they had psych positions. Also, Cambridge health alliance (altho they don't take new nurses unless you have your BSN-not sure if you do). You could also try the Leland unit (psych) at Beverly Hospital, NSMC Salem and Union Hospital, Melrose Wakefield's psych unit (med 6) is hiring per their website--they took me as an RN with no hospital experience per diem after I had exp. at an unlocked psych stepdown unit (not in a hospital). Also, CCS's (psych step down, unlocked units) usu hire new grads (this was my first RN job) -- there are units at Baycove/BMC, Northeast Beh. health-salem, Elliot Human Services (Lynn I think?).

Also try the Kindred system (LTAC/SNF). You can google "nursing homes" in your area and it will pull up some that dont post on the major websites (monster, indeed, etc)-- they may have openings on their websites-- and some might not even have websites, so you could call. And try craigslist and idealist.org. Good luck!!!

Also make sure you follow up with calls and emails--- this is how I have got my past positions. They get tons of apps; the people that follow up get theirs pushed up the list.
