I haven't given up, I have looked everywhere and no one and I mean no one wants new grads in the NYC area, I have tried everything and everywhere and nothing, I found a job in an office doing admin work, the pay is not bad and I need the money, it is full time so I won't be looking for any nursing jobs anytime soon, I feel heartbroken I worked so hard in school and no one would even give me a chance. Oh well life goes on, I almost finished my BSN but after this semester I'll quit no use throwing good money after bad. Good luck to all of you, I wihs you all the best.
Here in the Pacific NW, over in Coeur D'ALene, Kootenai Medical Center (25 miles East of Spokane, Washington), is offering a new Grad residency. I believe that you have to be a BSN grad to apply. It is a paid residency, and they offer specialty areas, like ICU, OR ,OB, etc. Look them up on the Internet.Also, in Pullman, which is South East of Spokane, Pullman Memorial Hospital is looking for OB nurses, and they stated in the want ads on Sunday, that they are accepting New grads!
Look them up, an good luck! PM me if any questions.

While it is definitely a plus I don't think it makes a huge difference right now. Although I would definitely encourage someone to continue taking bsn classes as they can afford them I doubt it will magically make a job appear in a lousy market.
