Please Help!!


Hx: RN student with three months until graduation.

I have a question regarding new grad careers. I started the nursing program knowing I wanted to work in a Cosmetic Surgeon's office. With being so close to graduation I have been calling around and everybody in my area wants me to have some sort of OR/PACU experience; however, no hospital in my area seems to want to hire me in either of those areas before having some experience with tele or medsurg. Please help, I do not want to work in medsurg, and would prefer not to work in tele either. How do I go about this problem? Is there something I am not explaining to these recruiters that would have them hire me onto the PACU or OR? I can understand not placing me directly in OR, but why not the PACU?? I have heard of nurses who started in the PACU, so why can't I? Please help with my questions.
