Experience needed??

Hi, I found out 2 days ago that I passed my boards!! Yes!!!

I have been searching for a job, and the problem I am now facing is that everywhere I have checked is only hiring RN's with at least a years experience! I knew that the hospitals around where I live require 1 year experience in order to work in Maternity or Psych, but I am now finding out that, that is required for other floors also, even Med-Surg. Has anyone else run across this to be true where your from? I can't get experience if nobody will give me a chance, Right?

Don't look in the paper or anything like that for a job. Call each hospital and ask to speak with the nurse recruiter. Most places live for the new grad. There are tons of GN orientations going on as we speak....even in ICU's and L&D.

Good luck.

Sorry to hear. I guess the Atlanta area's got it goin' on for GN's, then. However, it still doesn't hurt to call the recruiters and find out. I found out about the ones here by calling. It is not announced or advertised anywhere.

Good luck and CONGRATS to all who have passed boards this summer! :balloons: :balloons:

I applied online for a job that said experience required and i hadn't even taken the boards yet. i got a call a week or so later and had an interview a week later. they told me to call when i passed my boards and i will be speaking to the night supervisor tonight hopefully to talk about a possible position.

i say, apply anyway. the worst they can do is not call. and you never know, they just might.

good luck!
