Applying for RN positions????????

Published

hi all just had a question. i will be graduating may 2007 and was wondering when i should start applying for nursing positions. graduation will most likely be around may the 20 something. i plan to take kaplan early june and sit for boards in july, but i am unsure when i should actually start applying for positions. should i apply and state my anticipated grad and nclex date? i don't currently work for a health care establishment and other than clinical and some volunteer work i never have. i though about applying for student nurse positions but opted not to because i like my current employers and have worked here for several years (federal government agency). any responses greatly appreciated!!!! ;)

When I was applying I was told to submit my application 1 1/2 to 2 months before graduation. Good Luck with the job search and your last year of school!

I was in the same boat as you. I had never worked in health care and I had no problem finding a job. I graduated this last May and had my job in February. I know some people from my class that had jobs as early as November before we graduated. It might be a bit early now to start, but you could start getting your resume together. Good Luck!
