Help! New Grad in Los Angeles

Published

Hello there, I am a 24-year old newly-licensed RN in Southern California, any tips on job hunting? It is becoming very stressful trying to find somewhere who is open to new graduates. PLEASE HELP.

Specializes in NICU.

Move out of state. There are jobs for new grads, just not in California especially in LA

Apply anywhere and everywhere, not just your DREAM hospital or DREAM unit. You might have to work "in the trenches" of a SNF, or otherwise "undesirable" (to you) facility for a year to gain experience before you are able to transfer to a better facility/unit. Don't be too picky if/when you get a job offer either. Take what you can get in these tough times!

How long ago did you graduate and how long have you been looking for a job??
