New Grad ASN RN

Published

Is it possible for a new grad ASN, RN to get a job in a hospital in NY?? I've only been job hunting for a couple days since I just passed my Nclex, but I've been getting so many calls from agencies and no hospitals. Am I wasting my time applying at hospitals or should I just be more patient?

From my understanding it is extremely unlikely for new grads to get a hospital job in NYC. However, I would contact a previous nursing instructor that is familiar with the region and ask their input. But in a competitive market, you may have to be wiling to relocate to a less competitive area or take a job outside of a hospital.

Yeah I think that I'm going to end up getting a nursing home job for now because I need to make money, and I'll continue to look for a hospital job

In NYC, yes, it is pretty much impossible. In New York the state? You should be able to find something in more rural, underserved areas.

Yeah still no calls from hospitals right now, but I have an interview with a clinic tomorrow that I would really love to get!
