I graduated from nursing school in 2009 and applied at many facilities with zero result. They did not want to hire me because I did not have acute care experience.( in my head I'm thinking, "how am I suppose to get that experience if no one is willing to hire me)." My determination was a force to be reckoned with, so I continued applying to companies. There was this one home health agency who hired me from the start. The pay was lousy but at least I could work as a RN. The company was a pediatric home agency where I cared for chronically ill clients in the home environment. It took me a moment to realize that this job did not count towards my one year experience and I didn't use 90% of the skills learned in nursing school. But I used this time to go back for my BSN. After I received my BSN at the end of 2011, I resigned from this home agency. I was feeling that his company was not the right fit for me. Pesonally, I'm a little discouraged and insecure about getting a job and my technical skills, respectively. However I continued to apply to facilities. I applied to a LTC facility and was told that I didn't have any experience. I was devastated. All this work for nothing. So here I am with an AA, ADN, and a BSN with no real nursing experience and no one willing to hire me. So this week I decided to apply for the gn program at a local hospital since I'm being told that the experience I have is " no " real experience. I'm really hoping that something pan out because I have been out of work for over six months and out of school for about a year. I'm feeling really discourage and wondereing if someone can give me some advice as to what should be my next move.
