How to get 'Experienced' RN jobs?

[Wanna_BA_Nurse]

Hello fellow student nurses and nurses!

I have been looking at job postings on various sites and (to make a long story short) I keep seeing that they require one year experience as an RN. Well...once I start looking for a job that is just it - I'm LOOKING for a job! I will not have the 1 year RN experience!

How am I supposed to get the experience if no one will hire me (for not being experienced)?

You can get a LPN or CNA nurse job initially at a local hospital. It might not pay as much as a RN, but it wil give you the necessary experience to leapfrog to a successful Registered Nursing Career within a year or two. Due to the criticality the job entails, RN jobs without at least a year's experience are hard to find.

Hope this helps!

Thanks! It helped a lot! I guess it was a stupid question now that I know the answer, but I was under the assumption that RNs could not apply to do an LPN's job. Oh well! Yes, thank you very much!

It is my understanding that in many states you can't work below your scope of practice so inquire with your bon. I'd try to get a tech job on a unit that you enjoyed clinicals before graduation if things are tight in your area and maybe that would be a segway in for you. Good luck!

Oh! Thanks, I will check that out!
