Hi everyone, I would like to share again an experience this time is about job hunting and the hardship of finding one. so here goes my intro.

I live in cali and took my nclex-rn last april and passed and i immediately get a reciprocity here in nevada. a week after my reciprocity application i got my temp license and immediately and furiously planned on applying via internet with all the hospitals in las vegas area, total application? 24! istarted getting with one rejection that says "no longer considered" grrrrh it started with only one and then the day didnt even ended yet and when i checked it again....voila! all 24 went straight to pile of trash! everything was all not for consideration! so i have one more chance and that is to go to vegas, and so i did.

before i went there, i checked all thos ltc facilities in vegas and its neighboring cities. wrote down every facilities and its infos and went there one by one till i filled up all those application, again 20 application and my pen gave up, half through my last application my ink went out hahah!

a week after that i got call one by one for an interview, it was fast and got a total of 6 interviews, some of those are'nt even reading my application and just called me for an interview and then when i get there all dressed up researched everything, for the first time they will see it that you dont have an experience and will turn you down without even starting the formal interview, what a waste of time and money! but then there this two great facility who gives a break for new grads like me and gave me the chance and sadly how i like to worked for both facility i chose the first one that made me feel like im welcomed regardless of experience, and im happy to say i will be starting my orientation this monday. :)

ps

theres still alot of opportunity here in vegas than i had anticipated. every facility i went to were on for hiring, though its not that easy to get even for an interview its best to go and grab the opportunity. u just have to be patient!

pls forgive the bad wrighting

Hope it goes well! If it doesn't, try to get a year in, and you will be a much more desirable candidate for the next job ... :) I am surprised you got rejected so many times
