Hard to get a job as new graduate nurse (Houston)

Published

Hii everyone, I got my license over a year ago and I am really desperate because I have applied to all the new grad nurse residency and nurse clinician l, but I have not even been selected for an interview. Everywhere they ask for experience and unfortunately I don't have it. I don't know what to do😭

Specializes in CEN, Firefighter/Paramedic.

New grad residency programs are asking for experience?  That doesn't track.. 

Specializes in Med Surg.

At Ohio Health/Riverside Hospital we are still hiring new grads into our residency program. At my unit Dayshift is almost full of new grads that got hired last Summer. But nightshift is full of travelers so they would love to take new grads. So keep applying. Maybe try nightshift. When I was new, I started out on nightshift. 

Specializes in Psych.

Plenty places will hire new grads! Don't be discouraged. Try starting in med surge and go from there. Also psych, and dialysis will hire you with no problem. Good luck.
