I recently passed my NCLEX and have being looking for a job for the past month with no success. I have applied to 7 hospitals and have only gotten one call from one. I always get the same answer-we are looking through the applications we will call you if something comes up. It have been very frustrating and depressing because the way things are going I wont be able to get a job till May. The one hospital that I have interviewed for is on a pulmonary unit working with vent pts. I know I will get lots of experience working there but my heart is not in it because I want to be in peds a year after med/surg. I dont know if I should wait for something or go through it for the experience then walk away after a year. I dont know much about vents and I am afraid it will prove too much where i will have to leave before a year. Another thing is I need money badly. Any thoughts anyone.

Give it time. It's only been a month. I don't think you should accept a job on a unit that you don't feel comfortable working on. A friend of mine (past graduate of LIU, by the way) waited a month before the hospital she works in now called her for an interview. She is still working there 4 years later.

I know you said that you want to work med/surg before going into peds, but have you considered just trying to get straight into peds?

Also, have you tried the HHC hospitals (city hosp)?

Good Luck in your search.

I wouldn't know. I plan to go straight into a specialty unit when I graduate. Hopefully the NICU.
