Looking for Advice: Just started the job hunt!

[jayni87]

Hello!

I just took my NCLEX-LPN yesterday and got the news today that I passed! Hooray! I've been sending out resumes today, but wanted to ask for any and all advice on my hunt for a new-grad job.

My husband was in the Navy and got out a couple of months ago. I finished school where we were, then relocated to join him in Richmond, Virginia when I was done with school. I did very well (I think) meeting people and gaining contacts during clinicals, but all of that seems for naught as I won't be working in that area. I went to school about 2 hours from where I currently live, so I don't have any contacts for finding a job out here. That's a bit frustrating, but that just means I'll have to work harder to find a job which is not a problem.

Anyway, any advice for me on job hunting in a new city with a new license? Thank you! I'm really looking forward to starting my career!
