I am a new grad RN with a BSN. I have 5+ years of healthcare experience as an STNA in home care, LTC, and mental health. I am enthusiastic and motivated to find my first nursing job. I have applied to LTC, mental health, corrections, medical-surgical, telemetry, ICU, oncology, OB, home health, hospice, ortho, etc. I have been a nurse for 30 days and I've only received 2 phone calls in which I interviewed for both positions (corrections and LTC). I am getting really frustrated here!!!! I am poor and need a job!!! I am tired of working 2 jobs 6 days a week to make ends meet!!!! This is so unfair... Anyone else out there in this same situation?
Any chance of moving to another states? Midwest are hiring lots of new grads. You can get couple years of experience and move back.
I wish. I wouldn't mind relocating, but my husband has 15 years in the company that he is working for and would only qualify for entry level work without any further education.
I've seen it all over this site. One person takes a jab and then others follow along and gang up on someone's post. I didn't appreciate the tone. It was quite rude if you ask me. I didn't create this post for insults, thanks. I don't mind a little constructive criticism, but at least in a tactful manner. I'm finished. It's over.

Thank you for giving advice instead of making attacks. I came to this site for advice, encouragement, and a way to express my feelings or concerns as a new nurse.
