Why won't anyone hire new grads?

You are not alone. I am not really a new grad since I graduated 2006 but I have no experience at all so I still belong in that category. I graduated in the Philippines, got my RN license there, came here 2008, study for NCLEX, passed it and got my License March of this year. I've been applying since April unfortunately Im still applying until now..
It's sad cuz when HR call me they said they need nurses with experience,. How can I get the experience when nobody would give me a chance to work?

I am volunteering at Southern Hills for the mean time,. Hoping to know people who could help me find a job,. It's hard because I dont know anybody in this town.

can i ask what kind of a volunteer job you do at southern hills? a friend of my friend told me that they hire new grads. i dont know how true it is. but i also tried applying there and again was unlucky to get in.

Hi fellow nurses. I know how you guys feel. I'm from the Philippines and it's even worst in our country coz most the nurses here have been waiting for years just to have hospital experience. When I read this thread I just feel more depressed about this situation. Let's just pray for the betterment of our country's economy.
