    Thank you for telling your story.I'm very glad you have told your story, because I also graduated in May and I am currently jobless. The job I was supposed to transition into on the floor I was working on as a secretary did not pan out. A series of events occurred over the past few months, and the end result is I was essentially fired. I spent the first week of August upset that I was left without a nursing job that was promised to me. It has been a month now since I was let go, and now I realize God has something better for me. It would not have worked if I still stayed at the den of vipers where I worked. I would probably be hired as a nurse and then quickly let go for any mistake that they could make up about me. That's not a good way to start my nursing career. And I think that is what God had in mind for me when my manager let me go. I don't know what's going to happen now, or when I will get my first nursing job. All I know is that I trust in the Lord, because he will provide ultimately.God bless you in your first nursing job.

    It is so frustrating. I cried after I wasn't offered the position on my first interview. Then my second interview I had scheduled, I prayed that if it was where God wanted me to please remove the obstacles; if not then, then close that door. I was on my way to the interview when I received a call cancelling my interview due to the unit manager not having permission for another new graduate position....Door closed! I turned around and sat in my garage and cried...again. My husband had to remind me that my prayer was answered; I got what I asked for. I started filling out applications here and there with no expectations. God carried me through nursing school...He wasn't going to leave me hanging now.
    Keep your faith whichone'spink.....something will come along. It may involve leaving your comfort zone. As with me, I never considered Oncology; I wanted the ER/Trauma....and....we have to move for me to be closer rather than drive 1 1/2 hours one way.

    That is an amazing story. I know exactly what you mean - God has a plan for us, and everything happens in His time. You were definitely a blessing to them - it sounds like hospice nursing might be in His plan for you, too...but He obviously has something in store for you in oncology as well. I love that we can always know that we are at a place in our lives for a reason - if something seems to be taking forever to happen, like being offered a job, it means He has something far better in store for us.

    I accepted a new position recently within the same company for which I am employed, and because of our current staffing situation at the office, I'm unable to transition into my new position for at least another month. Including mine and another girl's positions (we both got the same position), there will be 5 open positions at our clinic. I was really disappointed when I found out about this, but your story just reminded me that this is happening for a reason. God isn't ready for me to be finished with my current position - I must still have unfinished business there. In the meantime, He is teaching me patience, something I really need to learn. Thanks so much for sharing!

    Yes, it is all in His timing. He has our destinations all planned out for us. You were meant to be a blessing to that couple and they also bless you in return. A very touching story. You just waited and he placed you. You have a job now in nursing.Awesome! God bless you!

    Admittedly, my journey since earning my Nursing license this past April, has been disheartening, discouraging, and frustrating. Each position I have applied for, and believe me when I say there are quite a few of them, has been dismissed. I am an undesirable candidate for hire because I lack experience and I lack my BSN. However, I am a hard worker. I ALWAYS give 110%, I have very strong work ethics. Qualities that, unfortunately, do not stand out on paper it seems. Being that I haven't even had a single interview, I feel as though I'm not even being given a fair chance at all. After joining allnurses.com, I have came to realize that I am anything but alone in my journey. My story is like so many others' and this is a journey down a well beaten path. Contrary to my prior beliefs, there isn't anything wrong with me!! I believe in God more than anything and am ashamed that I had let myself become so discouraged the past couple of months. I know God has something great in store for me and I just need to continue to trust in Him, as I have done so often in the past. I receive daily devotionals in my email from crosswalk.com, Wisdom Hunters, and Proverbs 31 and it has been more than obvious that because of my circumstances lately, I have been losing my spiritual edge. I am working hard to regain that edge. This past Wednesday, I applied for FAFSA. Thursday I learned that I qualified and am applying for online courses to earn my BSN starting in January. In the meantime, I will continue to put out more applications. I will continue to trust in God, and to trust in the fact that He has something great in store, not only for myself but, for the countless others going through this same difficult journey. Thank you all for sharing your encouraging stories and for sharing your experiences with all of us. Never give up hope, never give up on God no matter how bad things may seem. He never gives up on us. Let go and let God!!!
