Advice on getting hired at a LTC facility as a new ADN grad with no healthcare exp.?

Published

Hello,

I am very interested in starting my career in LTC. I really enjoyed my clinicals in LTC and love the geriatric population. I will be graduating with my ADN at the end of April and am planning to get my BSN by 2015. I have no healthcare experience, which I know is a big disadvantage. I am 21 years old so my resume doesn't have much else on it besides being a restaurant server for 5 years (still am) and volunteering 100 hours at a hospital. Any advice would be wonderful. I really admire this type of nursing and would love to start my career in it. What do hiring managers tend to look for in a new grad RN? Thank you so much for reading.
