Finding an RN position as a new grad

Are there any things I should know about finding a job in New Orleans as a new RN grad? I have over 60 apps in and no success. I interviewed two weeks ago but it was a dead end. Also, was offered a position Dec, but couldn't accept because I hadn't passed NCLEX. I recently took it again and passed.

    I talked to somebody today who had me convinced that LA is a good place to find a job as a new RN. Your experience makes me wonder...good luck and keep us updated.

    Contact the place you had an offer and tell them that you have passed

    Yes, the experience is a problem to a certain extent. They're usually looking for experience bc only so many new nurses can join a unit at once. I have an interview Monday at one of the hospitals where I've built a relationship with the nurse recruiter. I'm 101% confident I will be selected.

    I contacted the place that offered me the position previously but haven't gotten any call backs. But like I said, I'm interviewing Monday so fingers crossed.

    Keep on applying till you have an offer in hand and have a few people look over your resume.

    A majority of new grads I've worked with have quit a perfectly good gig within the first year just because they got offended and didn't want to work so hard. People who stay with the manager who hired them are the exception. This is part of the reason why employers have implemented 'new grads not welcome' policies because they calculate if they hire a telemetry nurse with 5 years experience in her previous position then hopefully she will stay at least five years with the new company...

    Totatlly understandable but we have to start somewhere. I guess you can't blame them. Feeling good about this ortho/neuro interview I went to though.
