3. Curious about the new grads not finding jobs?

   Amburgerz12 replied to bubbly_nurse's topic in Arizona

   I gradated in May 2010, passed my boards in August and got a position in September at a SNF. I have found the biggest thing is to network and you actually have to go in to the places, not just apply online. You need to get your face out there so th...
