have you tried monster.com? craiglslist? I would gather a list of all the hospitals close to where you live, apply to all of them, and then call the nurse recruiter directly to explain who you are and your desire to gain employment with them.

So you are saying you have applied everywhere & still no job? All the hospitals in your area as someone else posted. To all the nursing homes, all the home health agencies, looked at all the newspaper wanted adds for nursing. Looked at the Nursing spectrum section for jobs. Looked at all the online options as others have suggested? Craigslist, Monster.com, most local newspapers have online versions also. I believe all nurses.com has sections for that also.. Are you in contact with any of your previous classmates? Ask them about leads if they have already gotten jobs. You have to be very proactive.. Apply to any job,any department just to get your foot in the door. :icon_roll

check with your school
