Any suggestions I am a new grad and my nursing loans are due?

Published

Hello.

I am a new grad nurse, and my nursing loans are coming to be due next month. I don't have a job. Any suggestions on what I can do? I finished my ADN, and did great with the NCLEX. I am not getting any hits of my resume. My area seems to be saturated with nurses (South Florida).

Here is more information in regards to deferments and forbearances:

It sounds like you qualify for a forbearance; I was in the same boat as you, just in another area; breathe, apply for the forbearance, tweak the résumé and cast your net wide; use LinkedIN, apply for clinics, LTAC, LTC, Rehab, etc...and if you had a previous profession, stay at your current job as long as possible, or if possible, return to your previous job, to provide income while you are looking for your first nursing job.

AN has plenty of resources in Career Advice, and First Year After Nursing Licensure.
