new grad jobs

Published

I will be graduating May 2015 and I wanted to find out about jobs in las vegas. I don't seem to see any postings for new grads and im getting scared. Most jobs I search require atleast one year experience. Any tips on how I can prepare for this.

Thanks

I graduated in 2010 and it took me over a year of applying to anything that didn't say no new grads to find a job half way across the country. Although I do see that there seems to be more new grad jobs popping up no than there was then, I would highly recommend not limiting the area you are willing to work and just be prepared to move. I left the SF bay area and went to central Texas and just made the best of it, saw the sites, explored, and eventually came home. If it is at all feasible to relocate I would do it, I have no regrets on leaving home to get my nursing career started :)

oh, congrats on graduating!

Las Vegas has had a glut of new grad nurses for the past five to six years.

Be sure you are also considering non-hospital positions (county jail, nursing homes, home health, private duty, hospice, clinics, psychiatric facilities, etc).

Thank you. I will keep that in mind when searching.
