Take a breath. Call your student loan lender and ask for a forbearance. Look into NRH, Laurel Regional Hospital, Washington Adventist Hospital, and St. Agnes. Also look at LTC placces. They are hiring.
If you have your BSN, check to see if there are community or public heath nursing postitions available. Check with Baltimore City and County, Howard County, and Maryland State.

How did your job interview go?! I saw your post on another thread that you had one.

I hope you are feeling better, it is very stressful, I know.
I would recommend taking classes. Any nursing class you can take that gives you new knowledge, skills and certifications will help you maintain/increase your knowledge, network, and decrease your depression, because you are proactively doing something about your situation.
I also am a new grad. I applied for over 80 positions. I didn't get a single interview from any of my applications.
I took every single nursing course I could.
BLS, ACLS, PALS, NRP/NALS, TNCC, ENPC, CATN-II, Telemetry, and my CEN exam. It was not easy, it was a bit stressful, and it cost a lot of money (average was 200-300 each), but out of all of those classes I met a ton of really nice and caring nurses. I got 4 interviews with Managers/Directors out of those connections. I got 2 solid offers out of those connections. I will take one of those positions this week.
I am in South Florida and I know the market is really bad, but if you follow my suggestion, you will stand out above the other new grads that are simply applying to positions online that all have the same qualifications.
I wish you the best of luck,

Iridius,
I'm sorry to hear that you haven't found a job yet. Here's a position at the Kennedy Krieger Institute that might be of interest to you. It says that new graduates are welcome to apply!

Thanks for the link dcgrrl. I have been offered a position and am waiting on results from another before making my decision, I appreciate the link though.
I am very happy about my current situation and feel that all the time, money and effort has paid off. It is hard down here in S. Florida though and I would relocate if I had to.
I hope goodstudentnowRN will find a position also.

That's what I get for not paying attention! But I'm totally glad you've been offered a position.
