I think

[mume2mykidz]

I am wondering daily if I made the biggest mistake of my life!!!I left a job to go to school fulltime,I graduated in September and past NclexPN in November,I started filling out applications for employment all over and my license came last week and still no one is calling,I even followed up on a few and get...your application is being processed and we will call you if interested.....okay I am feeling over whelmed and depressed because I did not think it would be this hard to find a job...no one wants a new graduate....the school I went to tells you they will help find employment and they give you agency but none of them will hire a new graduate,,,how the heck am I suppose to get 1 years experience??the only job I could of maybe had was a 3-11 kinda far from my house and with traveling in bad weather I was kinda iffy about and that fell through..

now I am sitting depressed and not knowing what to do.... my husband has been working so much this past year to make up my old salary but this is getting old...so how long does it take???I feel like I am not even a nurse and I am afraid of losing what I learned,I have applied fulltime-parttime per diem anything

I'm also in south Jersey, and I can confirm that there are a lot of LPN's looking for jobs and everyone wants experience. How you get experience when nobody will give you a job, I don't know. Unfortunately, lots of experienced LPN's got laid off from local hospitals. All I can say, is try, try, try!

Good luck. We all need it in this economy.
