New Grad..Kind of

Editorial Team / Admin · Dec 19, 2016

Where are you applying? Have you expanded your job search beyond the hospital environment? Unfortunately you do have the fact that you've got only a few months experience and an employment gap that are going to be obstacles, but if you're willing to compromise and work in any area even if it isn't your first choice you've still got a chance.

I have been applying to every position that I can find for GN/residency type positions. There will be more coming up in January that I can apply for so I haven't given up, but I like to be prepared in case I need to choose another route. Thank you, for your input.

You may need to move beyond new grad residency programs. You may not even qualify for them as you have already worked on a floor and that may be why you aren't being called for interviews.

I would definitely apply to any & every job that you think you qualify for, even out of the hospital. Not just that but you probably don't qualify for a new grad residency program since you already have some work experience.
