Getting turned down......unexperienced RN....

Nurses General Nursing

Published

Hi all...I graduated Dec 2005....passed NClex in 2007. Im having a tough time getting work now coz so much time has passed. I did not work right away after graduating from nursing school due to personal reasons.

Ive been trying since Oct 2007 to get a job as entry level nurse...but Im not having much luck. I went to a Job Fair recently and most of the recruiters there told me to come back after I had a year experience.

I even looked into a local hospital grad nurse internship program and the recruiter turned me down with reason that there were more qualified candidates than me. Im out of ideas of what to do other than going back to school......which I dont want to do.

Thanx if you can help....

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad you stuck to it. You will see it really paid off once you get your hands busy again.

:ancong!::ancong!:

Congratulations!

I am so excited for you.

Good luck

Congratulations on the job....... I've gotten very discouraged that no one in the med-surg world seems willing to give me a chance, so you are definitely an inspiration. My situation is a little bit different than your situation but possibly you're right, I just need to keep trying.

Once again, congratulations and I hope all goes well with your new job!
