new grad,

i am also a new grad. i posted my frustration on https://allnurses.com/georgia-nurses/...es-390038.html. i graduated in dec. 2008. i had applied to every hospital within an hour away. i was frustrated, disillusioned and broke. then i decided to be more assertive. i called two of the hospitals i had applied online with and spoke with the hr/nurse recrutier. the first one talked with me for about 10 minutes. i explained my frustration to her and she was very nice. she then asked me which area i was most interested in since i had applied for every residency position listed. i had about 8 positions pending with my application. i told her icu was my preferrence and she said, "i will print out your application and resume and make sure you get one of the interviews for the icu residencies." i was very excited. so i called another hospital i had applied to asked them if they would please print my application and resume out and send it to the floor managers. she was just as nice and said she would send it that day. apparently she did, because the next week a floor manager from hospital #2 called and offered me an interview. i went and got the job. so, my advice to all my fellow new grads; be more assertive, attempt to stand out from the hundreds of other new grad applicants. call hr and follow up with your applications. it will pay off, i am living proof.

i know how you are feeling. i was very disappointed too, but keep at it...something will happen. good luck.

Try following up on your applications like I did. It worked for me. I read on some other posts that you shouldn't call and follow up because it annoys the HR department and they don't have time to talk to all the applicants. Well, with both of the hospitals that I called, that just simply wasn't the case. There are hundreds of new grads...you have to stand out.

I'm mot sure if a you would want to drive out to Carrollton but Tanner hospital usually hires new grads. A friend of mine graduated in December '08 and had no problem getting hired on right after graduation at Tanner. I hope this helps and good luck with your job search.
