New Grad in Philly area

[amandaxyo, BSN, MSN, RN]

Hello everyone,

I'm a new grad nurse in the Philly area. I already have my PA RN license. I went to school for my BSN out of state and just moved back. I've been applying, applying, and applying to RN jobs. I'm feeling a little discouraged because many of the hospitals in this area hire new grads from the schools that are attached to their hospitals. Does anyone know of hospitals in the area that take new grads that aren't from their schools or have any advice for the job search?

Thanks so much!

Hello,

I just went through the same situation. Graduated with my Associates in nursing in may, passed my boards in June, moved to philly and didn't get any call backs for a job for months!! Just last week I finally got an offer for a Fresenius dialysis clinic in the Philadelphia area. The plan is to get some experience, get my BSN and try the hospitals again in a year or two. Good luck, try dialysis I'm excited about it.
