Any New Grads working Per Diem?

[hopeful81]

I know the job hunt for New Nurses is a challenging one. Has any of you found at least Per Diem jobs? I was wondering if it is possible to gain Per Diem Jobs considering we have no real work experience yet?

I was offered a per diem job about 2 weeks in to my job search. I took it, and got almost 40 hrs a week from it, and ended up with a full time job offer about 7 months later. Now that I'm "full time" I get more time off than I did as per diem, lol.

I never regretted it, and almost wish I still worked that way, because it gives you a greater amount of freedom in your hours etc.
