[calypso1]

Hi everyone

I am new here and this is my first thread, as you can read the title i need a job and i am getting frustrated. I am a foreign nurse (my 1st language is French), i passed my nclex last year and worked for about 9months in a convalescent home (i have experience :), ). Since december of last year i have been looking for a job and it is really frustrating and sad because i know people who have no qualifications therefore have an excuse for not finding a job what is mine (excuse)? I have a degree and am willing to work hard (my butt off to be explicit) unfortunately for me i do not personnally know any D.O.N who could hire me (that is how it works i have been told). I do not know what to do anymore if anyone knows a hospital, nursing home... looking for an R.N please let me know. i have a degree, i am young (my mom always told me work as much as you can while you are young)and the only thing that i want to do is to work (I still have hope, at least i passed my nclex). I am ready to relocate anywhere in California (i am in southern California). thanks.
