full time vs. adjunct

Hi everyone.

I have applied for full time and have been turned down each time due to limited experience :-(.

I've been working as adjunct 1.5 years, almost straight thru due to one school going year around. I have worked 2 schools at the same time since I began last fall.

I'm a little frustrated that I am having such a struggle getting into a full time teaching position, but I'm loving the teaching.

How many just stay adjhnct? Is it better in some cases? I am doing mostly vlinical, though I've done 1 session in - class.

Just looking for assistance in direction.

Thanks.

    Private school or community college? I know it's harder to get in at the community colleges and it's cheaper to keep you adjunct.

    Do you have an MSN or a DNP/PhD?

    I was adjunct for 2 years... spent 2 summer terms at my current employer and WOWed them so they hired me as full time!

    It's definitely tough to find a FT job as a nurse educator... Going for a doctorate is a great booster! Also, try to sit for CNE exam - they recently changed the requirements for application.
