Is it bad to apply online?

Hello my fellow nurses,

I am applying for jobs after having recently graduated/become licensed. I was told in school that it is always better to apply in person due to the benefit of having them see your face/know who you are etc. But in this day and age it is so convenient and tempting to just apply online and save yourself the trip to 10 different places around town! What do you all think, are you increasing your chances of getting hired by applying in person as opposed to online?

Didn't get a chance to read all comments, but I am applying to facility that says to either send the resume to X address, apply online, or fax. I would want to fax it. What do you all think?
