Stuck in a rut and feeling discouraged

Hey nurses!!

I am stuck in a rut and feeling discouraged about finding my first job out of school!! I take the NCLEX in a few weeks and have applied to numerous jobs, to no avail. I am passionate about L&D, but most hospitals require 2+ years of experience----QUESTION: How am I supposed to get experience if I'm a new grad? I worked as a PCA in L&D for a while but no one seems to notice that on the resume. I realize that I may have to do some other area for some more experience, but it's still not going to be what they want!! Classmates and some past instructors tell me it is possible to transfer after I've worked for the hospital for a while, but will that really work if I don't have experience? I recently moved to a different state and lost my contacts and also wondering if that is an issue. How am I supposed to get my "in" like I had "back home?" Just feeling discouraged and would like some high spirits to offer words of encouragement, advice, anything!!

Thanks all!!
