Hello everyone. I just moved to Colorado two weeks ago and I am very excited to be here. I graduated this past May with a BSN and I have additional experience through various internships and employment. I have been contacting several recruiters and they told me it's very difficult to find a job unless I apply to a new grad program. These programs only seem to be offered 2-3 times per year and competition is great. When I look at other positions, they all require 1-2 years of experience. I was even informed to extend my search into other nearby states. I would very much like to work in Denver or somewhere closer to the Rocky Mountains (I love the outdoors) on a medical surgical unit. I thought that since I am not interested in any particular specialty yet, for example pediatrics, that it would be easier to find work. If anyone can give me advice on how to find potential job opportunities for a new grad RN, how to network, or know of any upcoming job fairs, please email me ([email protected]) or respond to my post. I will greatly appreciate the advice!! I don't want to give up by looking for CNA positions or consider relocating to another state like some recruiters had suggested. I really like Colorado and see a future for myself here as an RN.
