New grad needing experience?

[Chocolateluv]

Hello nurse family,

Im graduating nursing school on April 30th with my ASN. I am currently a student nurse tech on a CVICU floor. I am really interested in ER, ICU or O.R. nursing. Everywhere I've looked online wants at least one year experience. Do they automatically exclude you if you don't have on year experience? What are your suggestions for getting a job on a floor that interests me? I really do not want to do Med surge nursing, although I'm starting to think I wont have a choice. Suggestions?

Did you talk to the place you are working? Or try where you did clinicals just to get your foot in the door.

Good luck

Hey friend,

I have been an LPN in a radiation oncology clinic for 2 years, and got my RN license at the end of September, and just accepted a position in an emergency department which I start in 3 weeks. I am not sure what your location is, but in my area there are occasionally residencies offered in multiple different types of nursing. I applied to do ED because that has been my interest since starting school, but I saw OR, ICU, Med/Surg and a few other options open to. Maybe search for a residency on Indeed or other similar websites.
