Job search.

Hey everyone ! I am a new licensed registered nurse as of February 2015. I graduated last year in May of 2014 an lost my job opportunity at the VA after failing nclex-rn within a month during my nursing orientation. After taking my time to prep an make sure I pass boards ,I am licensed now. It seem that the job search is extremely difficult. I have applied to every hospital in the city of Birmingham ,Alabama an at that various positions within each hospital. At first , I was to applying for various ICU an ER jobs because thats what kind of work I was doing an that's where I was receiving orientation,but it just seems impossible to get those opportunities from externally standpoint so I've applied in other areas. It also seem more realistic to start smaller than to jump back into the ICU when I've been away from patient care almost a year now. I'm still technically a new nurse that needs an orientation experience just like a new grad hired on right out of school would get even though I graduated last year. Do anyone have any advice or pointers on where I can find work in Birmingham ,Al? Or opportunities for new grads elsewhere nearby like Georgia , Florida ,etc.... I'm willing to relocate . I feel like I'm never going to find a job an it's frustrating. Im just a guy that's ready to get back to giving patient care an get my career started. I'm grateful for any help or suggestions!
