2 months scouting, still not hired

Published

Hi guys!

I'm really frustrated now for the reason that I'm still not hired. I passed NCLEX June 2017 and took bcls,acls,pals and IV CERT on July 2017. So I started scouting this August til now, no response.

Well I passed my local board exam and became a nurse in our country in 2015, but didnt really work as a nurse after that.

It's just recently this 2016 I came in US, worked as a care giver and started volunteering in a clinic in hospital. its really hard , :( btw in from NYC. i guess its really hard here :(

any advice? I actually updated my resume and still continuing submitting ..:( I want to start in nursing home, but my aunts and uncles said I should wait and go with the hospital. It does take a lot of time but its worth the wait, they said.

I would say listen to your Aunts and Uncles and after working in hospital for a little while start submitting to places you actually wanna work again. The experience should make you more likely to be accepted.

Landing a job as as an RN with no experience is a challenge, and some markets are more competitive than others.

Your resume is not landing you any interviews, and may partially be the culprit.

You might consider a job in sub-acute to gain nursing experience and shorten the unemployment gap you are facing.

Prolonged unemployment after passing the NCLEX is not desirable.

My book Your Last Nursing Class: How to Land Your First Nursing Job is really written just for you with tons of insider tips and strategies. Best wishes.
