I graduated last year May and took the NCLEX exam in September.
I am still lokking for a full time job.
I am tired of applying without any positive response.
I am in Philadelphia.
I even went to my alumni's career services office to have my resume revamped and
improved a couple of months ago. That does not seem to have improved because I am still
getting responses like "You do not have any RN experience", "We will keep your resume on
file and contact you if any openings arise" etc
What can I do?
How long did it take you to find a full time job in the hospital?

philly is really saturated.. if you dont mind commuting or relocating the reading/allentown area is a bit better.

Relocate. I am moving next month from Philadelphia. I had one interview at Hahnemann, only because I had an "in" but still didn't get the position because of no experience. Try further west or north in the state, or another state altogether. I hope this is possible for you and good luck! Remember knowing somebody definitely can help tons---or be everything you need. How about somewhere where you did clinical? I know a lot of people get jobs where they did clinical

The philly area stinks for finding jobs especially if you don't have an in from someone
