Hospitals not accepting entry level nurses, new grads. What to do?

Published

I had my registered nurse license June of 2014, I have applied to numerous hospitals with new grad entry which is only 2 in whole Nevada since June. I am currently working in a small company which is not really my thing but I need to pay the bills. My goal is to work in ICU but there is no new grad entry level anywhere here in Nevada I'm planning to have a certificate and attend class to be a ICU but I am not sure if that would help me to my goals. If there is no other way then I think I should move to another state and just find a nurse residency program which I have seen a lot in NY,FL,IL,AZ,TX. I need advice from expert, I have already contact numerous hospitals and they told me I need to have 1 year experience how can I have experience when they won't give me? Is there any way I can work in hospitals? classes? or just move to another state. I do have a big hope for Nevada but it is slowly fading away.

thanks

Summerlin hospital had just posted SEVERAL new grad positions for their med surg floors maybe 2 weeks ago. Last I checked however, they were already taken down. Set up job agents for the hospital job boards to email you when a job with the term "new grad" comes up. St Rose's new grad program is accepting applications until 10/7
