I'm a new grad in oakland county, MI. Which hospitals in the area are hiring? I looked at several large hospitals' websites and they are only hiring for part time/contigent AND you need 2-3 years of experience, no new grads! Any advice for a new grad?

The economy is bad, it's affecting hospitals, and hospitals are currently pickier about hiring people with no experience.
