I graduated from the ADN program this past summer and I received my license in October. I do not have any prior experience, and I'm finding it extremely difficult to find a job. I'm willing to work in any department, but I don't even get a call for an interview! Any tips from those who have experienced this??? I'll gladly accept any advice! Thanks!!

The market is very tight here (as everywhere!). My only advice is to be open to options, and not have the mindset "I'll ONLY to L&D in an urban hosptial" (not saying this is you!). Don't blow off nursing homes or home health, sometimes its the only thing out there. Are you close to a bordering state? Keep those in mind if they're part of the compact act--I know Iowa IS, Illinois ISN'T.
Best of luck
