I am also in the same boat in Colorado and hear the same from my classmates. So I accepted a job as a corrections agency nurse and work for two different agency. I drive anywhere from 45-120 miles to get to my assignments, at Colorado Department correction facilities. Not what I had planed but it's a job.:madface:

Hi Amy,

Did you end up getting this position? I interviewed at RBMC recently and am supposed to be going for a 2nd "peer interview" on a med/surg unit...the whole process is taking very long and i'm getting nervous. Any tips?

Try doctors offices and nursing home, they seem to be the only ones hiring new grads these days. Once you get a little bit of experience than you are more marketable. Many oncologist hire alot of RN's for chemo administration in the office, it's good experience and you get certified in chemo. Make phone calls and send resumes to offices in your area, many times they don't advertise.

Hang in there, good luck
