Cant seem to find work!

So here I am I graduated in March of this year and I passed my NCLEX PN last month... I still can't seem to find employment. All I keep hearing is that I need one year of experience and I'm wondering where am I supposed to get the experience from if no one wants to hire me. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated...

    I moved out of state for my first LVN job.

    Use your clinical rotations in your resume. Any procedures you may have been a part of, special patient populations, and/or any real life experience. Be persistant with HR, call, call, and call again. Also, any units you did a rotation on, go introduce yourself to the nurse manager now that your out of school. Let them know who much you enjoyed the unit and if they are hiring. Good luck!!!

    Be persistant. If you go somewhere and they tell you they are not hiring, then go back again in a few weeks. Then again after that. Luck is usually being in the right place at the right time. If someone quits, then that person who has been pestering the DON, manager, etc... should be the first one that pops up in their mind. Be flexible. Tell them you will work any shift, any time, just get in the door. I have found a lot of my co-classmates who are not working have unrealistic ideas about schedules. When I bump into them and they ask if my hospital is hiring I hear a lot of "I can't work nights, or weekends, or holidays". Or "I can't come in on short notice because I don't have a sitter". That makes it hard for anyone to find a job.

    Good luck!
