I put in 33 applications before I got my first job. There was 5 nursing schools all graduating in a 75 mile radius when I finished. Everyone was climbing on each other to get a job.

missmollie, ADN, BSN, RN · Jun 20, 2015

I was hired a month before I graduated. I started applying to jobs two months before graduation, put in over 65 applications, and I had 3 interviews at my first choice hospital. I had a 4th interview scheduled at a different hospital, but on the day the interview was supposed to take place, I received a call with a job offer for two different floors!

I work on a progressive care floor, and I love it.

For LPN: had a private duty home health job right after I passed the NCLEX, then accepted a float position at a Rehab hospital a month later and worked both positions on a flexible schedule.

For RN: it took me 3 months to get 2 interviews, then another months to accept a hospital position in Critical Care.
