Desperate about getting an RN job in Houston

Published

I graduated from a BSN program last December. Got my RN license and everything, got a job in Mississippi right away after I settled down. Worked for 4 months and then my husband had to go to Houston for school. I loved my job but had to leave with him. Now I CANT GET ANY JOB IN HOUSTON. Everyone keeps telling us I wont have trouble getting a job here in Houston cuz there's so many hospitals here. But very disappointing, they only want nurse have at least a year experience. So now, I tried applied everyone, only get rejection letters. Came back from a nursing home for an interview today and they said they dont have any full time job there. Not even Nursing home.

Now I really dont know what to do. Sometimes I just feel like maybe go to work in a grocery store and forget about it. But all the years of education is just a big waste now. How can I even get started here in Houston and put my foot in the door?

Have you had any luck yet? Do you already have your Tx license? I think the problem is you're stuck in limbo between "new grad" (no experience) and "experienced" (> 12 months experience). Have you looked at PRN agencies?
