NY New Grad Jobs-anyone hiring?

[crmathew]

Hi all!

So I graduated an ABSN program in Dec '12, got my license in March and have been applying to jobs since May! I lost count of the applications after about 100...I have been trying every way possible- my mother is a nurse and I utilized her connections, called up several people, e-mailed nurse managers, posted my resume on Linkedin...I have no experience outside of clinical experience but I can't wait to get out there and start working! I am even willing to work without pay if thats what it takes to prove that I am cut out for the job because all I need is someone to give me a chance or an interview at least! I had a very good interview with Bellevue hospital but the last I heard they were having a budget crisis since Sandy so they don't have any open positions anymore! I am not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if I'm not doing enough. I have signed up for ACLS despite being broke and I am considering just volunteering somewhere just so my brain won't rot. I will take any tips or advice I can get! If you know someone who is hiring or any other tactics to get my foot in the door! Thanks all!!

I was about to post a topic about new grad jobs in NYC but it seems you beat me to it haha. I start an accelerated BSN program this coming January so hopefully the market improves come summer of 2015.

Hi,

I live in the NYC/NJ area. Continue to post your resume with agencies and sign up for alerts with indeed jobs and other app services. Im looking too so I have used these apps.

keep your head up and stay positive!

any luck with finding something? If so how? I really hope you did!! I am currently in California with 2 years exp as a LVN in internal med w/IV certs and phlebotomy skills. I just endorsed my RN license into NY!!! I am looking to move in next few months but with no actual RN experience I am looking for something that will use my skills but get me into the hospital setting. Looking into manhattan and BK. As a LVN in CA I make 62k, but will be happy with a RN job that makes me work harder.
