New Graduate LPN needs help finding job in New Jersey

U.S.A. New Jersey

Published

Hello Everyone I am new to the allnurses.com! I am a new graduate LPN and I live in New Jersey. I am having a very hard time finding a job. Can anyone help me? I graduated almost a year ago. I decided to go back to school to do some of my pre-req's to start as an RN but I think that was a mistake because a year is creeping up on me so fast and every job interview I have been to which has not been many. Tell me the same thing. I have no experience! What I am not understanding is How am I suppose to get experience if no one will give me a chance??? Please Help!sad.png

Hi Helen , I went though the same frustration of not being able to find work after graduation. It took almost 8 months to find work. Now that the holidays are approaching a lot of facilities are looking for per diem nurses to cover for their on staff vacations call outs etc. apply everywhere to every facility even those who have no online site you go personally to fill out an application. I got my first job through a staffing agency try these as well some are willing to take on new grads. Persistence is key , I am also half way through getting my RN. Also try home health care , some places are willing to take on new grads. We need all the experience we can get once that RN is next to our names. Per diem work = flexibility for school. Much success
