Yeah!!! I finally got a job as a RN after almost a year of looking. I graduated May 2010 and was beginning to look for positions outside of California. I am so happy. So yes it can be done. Please don't give up. Feel sad for a moment and then move on. Also, try to stay on top of your nursing skills and critical thinking. After looking for almost a year you may begin to lose your self-confidence. So staying sharp should help you sale yourself in your interview. I myself didn't do that but promised I would for my next interview (not) because I didn't feel very confident in my interview.
But be careful too. I asked one interviewer (not recently), "What was she looking for in a new grad?" and she said she didn't want anyone that thought they knew it all. I guess its harder to train those people. They want you pliable.
So good luck everyone and keep your head up.
Don't know what to do with my time now that I'm not searching for a job.
sounds good!!! inmexico we have to do a year of social service, so that could probably count as clinical experience right???
i have to remember to keep a positive attitude!!! nursing in the states sounds like a tough thing to enter!! Especially if you want to start in a certain area!!
congrats, as for me they called me april 1st for a background checking and today's what? 25th. they won't be able to see any offences or what not anyways, but what is taking them so long?. I tried calling them but they told me to wait for the hr call. still.. i am applying to several jobs everyday. again, congrats for the new job.
