I'm relatively new too, but I got a job by applying for a position that asked for experience! Don't let "experience necessary" keep you from applying! Try some of the smaller places like LTC or dialysis clinics. Good luck!

Specializes in Ambulatory Case Management, Clinic, Psychiatry.

I second trying for LTC. Also, check craigslist. At this point, it sounds like it's about getting your foot in the door somewhere to gain experience, vs. finding the "dream" hospital job (although I'm sure you already know that). Psych (at least in my area) always has a lot of openings, although I'd caution you from starting there unless you're sure you want to stay or would be able to transfer if you didn't like it
