How to get on at a hospital?? Help, please.

Hi! My name's jen. I've been an RN for almost 2 years. In December I was let go of my job at a corrections medical center because i was staffed through a temp agency and my job was sold to the lowest bidder. Since then I have been on unemployment and looking for work in the Columbus, Ohio are, mainly at hospitals. I have probably put in over a 100 applications. I have my ACLS, BLS, although I only have my associates not my bachelors. I've been out of work FOUR months and am at my wits end. I started out as a new grad at a temp agency as a new RN because I couldn't get a job anywhere else. (Not the best idea, but i was lucky, cause there was an awesome staff looking to teach) I'm a hard worker. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I need a job, I need the money, my benefits are about to run out. Does anybody have any tips??? I'd really appreciate it. I am at a low point right now and don't know where to turn. The hospitals want you to have hospital experience, but how do you get it if you can't get hired by one? I am afraid to I'll have to go to travel nursing and I don't feel ready. But what else can one do?
