New Grad- Jobs?

Published

Hello All,

I've posted in the Alaska State thread, but haven't heard anything back from anybody. I'm hoping I'll get some advice in here. I graduated with a BSN in March of this year (2014). I recently received my license info for Alaska, so I'm all set to start working. I also have a bachelors in Psychology, as well as a Master's in Behavioral Science.

I'm looking for positions at the local hospital, and while they have open nurse positions they don't have any new grad positions. The career search page literally says no new grad. My question is, is it possible that they would overlook the new grad status for some of these positions they are looking to fill? I understand that they are looking for experience and totally understand being passed over. I've tried emailing the recruitment folks, even before I was finished with school, but haven't heard back from them. I am planning on making a trip to see them in person. There is only one hospital in town, along with a hospital on the military base. I guess I'm just nervous that it will take me forever to find a job and I don't want to lose all of my skills and knowledge.

Thanks for any advice =)
