While you are still applying to nursing jobs, if your bills/loans are looming over you, try to find other ways to make money - waitress, babysit, other jobs.

If you are willing to just walk away this wasn't the career for you.

Otherwise, go back and get your BSN. The loans will go back into deferment. There are a ton of online programs that you can do while working any job you can find.

I am also in the DFW area.

Are you willing to work somewhere other than a major acute care hospital? Everybody and their mother wants to work at major hospitals, but many settings outside the hospital are willing to take chances on hiring new grads. Nursing homes, hospices, clinics, home health, private duty agencies, psychiatric facilities, and specialty rehab hospitals all hire new nurses in the DFW area. You simply need to be persistent and walk in during business hours to apply in person.

The DFW area has been flooded with way too many new nurses for the past three years. Without experience, getting into a major hospital is an ultra competitive process.

I work at an acute rehabilitation facility that has hired multiple brand new nurses over the past year. Some of the new grads work out and thrive at their jobs, whereas others flounder. This is a national chain of facilities with locations all over the DFW metroplex.
