DavidDudley 99 Posts Jan 5, 2015 Every job is going to advertise at least one year experience minimum. The key is to just simply ignore that. Everyone that I know has landed jobs and their not all new grad hospital jobs. LTC and SNF facilities seem to be the most willing to hire new grads because such facilities are the least desirable to work in due to their harsh high stress job requirements. When I got my first job in a SNF as a new grad, they literally hired me on the spot without even interviewing me. And I live in Southern California.

DavidDudley 99 Posts Jan 5, 2015 Perhaps maybe you misunderstood me. The SNF position was my first RN job. I don't currently work in a SNF. I currently work in the ER.

UltraT 29 Posts Specializes in Home care. Has 5 years experience. Jan 5, 2015 Thanks SV I'm looking at all hospitals nationwide but I'll google the one you mentioned.
