Interview after interview..

With all these budget cuts, its MERELY impossible in California to get a job without having a "connection". Frustrating thing?? a lot of hospitals are short nurses but won't hire "new grads"... even with almost a year under my belt of home health (because that was the only job I could get)., it's still not considered experience. SMH. frustrating but what are ya going to do. I just had a interview for a NICU position (where my heart lies) and I'm fighting who knows how many individuals for ONE position. Interview went well, and just crossing fingers for that call back. Any of you with the same issues? HANG IN THERE!!

@ janfrn Thanks again.Your comments were very helpful(the same refers to you dudette10:)).I am now begining to take Norway into serious consideration.I could work there as a personal care attendant.The pay is approx. 3000EUR(tax free).They have an excellent health care system.I don't need a visa which saves me a lot of time.The process of diploma authorization as they call it is easy and goes smoothly and best of all don't have to take any additional exams.After two years I can apply for licensure exam so I can work as a male nurse.They are of course paid better(cca. 5000EUR).The country is in relatively high demand for both attendants and nurses.A lot of my countymen are already working there.There is only one problem.Language.But I'll get into it eventually.A colleague of mine is leaving for Norway in a few months so I'll have all the infos needed.First-hand.Even though I was very enthusiatic about Canada(I really like the country)you guys pretty much talked me out of it.At least for now:).
