   I am so in the same boat as you and I have good weeks where I'm all positive and hopeful then the next week I'm crying myself to sleep. I apply and apply and either hear nothing back or get the quick...

   Well I am very happy for you but honestly your experience is the difference. You are right there are a ton of jobs for RN's with experience. There is currently an over abundance of new grads and...
