about to graduate

i (hopefully) will graduate in Aug. Do I start looking for a job before i graduate? What about all the jobs that say experience required? Will anyone hire me before I take/ pass NCLEX?

hi,

i am set to graduate in december of this year with my bsn. you should start sending out applications now. i have already applied to one job and i will apply across the usa once september hits. you want to have a job lined up asap. if you are really lucky (don't count on it) you may have a job lined up which you can use an interim permit (depending on your states board), which is a temp license before you take your nclex. this gives you a jump on others in your program.

it depends on your situation, i.e. can you move for a job, on if anyone will hire you without experience. most hiring managers will understand that you can't "start" until you have your license, just make sure to put your estimated date of graduation on your resume.

but then again this is just my two cents.

Go ahead and start now.

A few of my classmates had jobs before they graduated and passed the NCLEX. Most in home health and nursing homes. One worked under a temporary license for a home health agency a few weeks before passing.

Good luck!
