Any new grads having major employment problems?

[lsid16]

I graduated in May 2012 with an ADN. I moved from Illinois to Texas for better job prospects. I've applied for 50 jobs and have heard nothing. Plus, I'm applying to other minimum wage jobs just to have an income. I keep getting the "overqualified" speech, and can't land a minimum wage job. I'm about to lose my mind. Anybody else having these employment issues?

Its all about the area you live in. I've heard the east coast is the best place to land a job in the nursing market. Well, for this year anyway.

I live in New England and jobs are not abundant here.
