HELP! I CAN'T FIND A JOB as a NEW GRAD RN

U.S.A. New York

Published

I've had my RN license for about 2 weeks and cant seem to find a job in the hospital. I have applied and literally talked to the Nursing Recruitment office at the VA who said Med-Surg was Full! Bellevue who said it takes 4-6 weeks to get a call back so jus drop off your resume. At NY Ear & Eye Infirmary who said jus drop off your resume at the Front Desk, Beth Israel & Lenox Hill said to wait and NYU & Columbia want BSNs.

I had interviews at two non-profit Clinics in the LES who pay ok but its a supervisor position as a new grad I need to get my feet wet!

So tell me where do I find a NYC hospital job as a new grad??

just wondering..how much do ny nursing homes make? i just got a job at a hospital that offered 38.66 per hour..is it true that at nursing homes nurses make 27 per hour?

Specializes in LTC.

Mine pays $32.90 to start. This is consistent with my other classmates' experiences.

Specializes in TB nursing/ research.

I make the same ($32.50) working in public health - we need more nurses in PH, its my first nursing job as I could not find anything else. I am learning a lot though and its very interesting.

Oooh, I am very interested in Public Health. I have a B.S. in Public Health before I went to Nursing. I don't see any postings for a Public Health nurse anywhere, though.:(

I guess my link did not work - do a google search for NYC Dept of Health and check their job postings.
