I'm throwing my pride aside and asking, no BEGGING that any employed veteran nurses out there help me out with jobs.

I just passed NCLEX, have an ADN from St. Kate's with a very good GPA, and a B.A from the same school.

I am a bit older, (32), and have lot of experience in social services with people who have various mental illnesses, and/or physical mental disabilities.

What I don't have is a job in the field, or very many connections.

If you are an employed nurse, and your place of work is hiring, would you consider helping me out? I could send you my resume, correspond with you or even meet up if you are willing.

And I am NOT picky where- home health, LTC, TCU's WHATEVER

I know this is true for everyone but I REALLY cannot afford to be unemployed- my husband is finishing his doctarate and only working as a TA now and then- my job will end the first week in August as it was an on campus job, and having graduated I cannot keep it past then.

If I do not find work we will live off of his stipend which is at the poverty line- we wanted to start a family this year, but without a job or insurance this is not possible.

Please take pity on a new grad and help out if you can- post here or message me

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been volunteering at my favorite hospital for a couple months. I mentioned to the charge nurse in my unite that i would love to eventually work at for them and a week later I got a call from HR asking if I wanted a job as an on-call CNA (I'm not yet an RN). The job they offered me was not even posted on their website. If the VA doesn't go through, I would recommend volunteering somewhere. I was amazed at how quickly and easily I made connections while volunteering.

Im working, but I like this site which is sort of a clearing house for all job posting. You can set up to get an email daily with new RN posts.

Rumor has it that healtheast is going to start opening up positions for new grads now that the contract has been settled. I know there are a lot of job openings for RNs posted, I just haven't heard anything from management yet about hiring new grads.
