I recently was offered my first nursing job for a medical/surgical unit (graduate nurse position)! I have been applying for one year (tomorrow is my one year anniversary of taking the NCLEX.) But actually, I have been searching for a healthcare related job since October 2011. I just wanted to tell you all not to give up! I do not have any medical background (besides school/clinical). I am not good at interviews - but I continued to better my skills and try again. I do not have ANY hospital connection either. I did it on my own. So, it is possible!
