So I've been at it for 2 months now. I have tried everything from monsters.com, careerbuilder.com, making cold calls, making cold visits (home health agencies, nursing homes, hospital HRs, LTC). I've tried referrals through friends that have been nurses for a few years now, I've tried reaching out to people on facebook (you never know if they know a friend of a friend sort of thing). I'm at my wits end here!! Only a couple of months until I have to start making loan payments. I'm in Miami, FL. I've looked throughout the whole state of Florida!! Some jobs say NO NEW GRADUATES AT THIS TIME. Many don't even bother sending as much as a confirmation email that they received your application. Hospitals that I've heard have residency programs don't state when or how. And don't get me started on Taleo and Indeed.com!!!!! OH and these open houses/job fairs......RIGHT!
5 positions for over 100 applicants! Some of which show up having 10 years experience!! GRRR needed to vent
