Finding jobs for a new grad....

3rdcareerRN · Jan 10, 2008

Although it has been a while since I was a May graduate, things might be the same now:

I discovered when I started looking that February that nearly all the many dozen local new-grad jobs had been filled before January.... ...by the really forward-thinking grads.

My advice, therefore, is start looking this minute.

I graduate in the end of May, and I just turned my first app. in today...I used to hear that for May grads that the Feb. time frame was good but now hospitals are filling positions earlier and they are also having to deal with more applicants which takes more time to sort through.

We were advised to send applications in Sept for a Jan Graduation. I don't think that you are too far ahead of the curve by getting apps ready for an early february submission.

Hey, all....curious about something...
Saw someone on here who posted about getting a new grad job already when they don't graduate until May....Should I be interviewing for jobs and looking around now, or should I wait til march/april/etc? I haven't done this before, and I'm looking around for jobs so I don't get stuck taking a job in a field I have NO interest in.....Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks!

I will apply in the next few weeks, new grad apps are due by feb around here. I'm sure you can find jobs later but I'd apply sooner than later.

I graduate in December and the deadline for new grad apps for the local hospital is mid-October for Dec graduates. I plan on beginning to apply at the end of August or September.
