How long did it take to get first RN job?

I live in Boston and have been out of school for 4 months, I passed my boards 2 and a half months ago. I've been applying for New Grad jobs like crazy and haven't even gotten a call for an interview. Is this normal?? How long does it typically take to get your first job out of school. For a little more background info.. I have 3 years experience as a CNA in two major Boston hospitals. They currently are not hiring New Grads at the hospital that I work at, UGH. I never thought it would take this long to find a job
