Hello! I graduated with my BSN in May of this year and I am scheduled to take the NCLEX in the next week. I went to nursing school in the Midwest and I have been applying to almost every new grad RN position in Phoenix. I haven't had any luck, I've applied to Banner, Phoenix Childrens, Honor Health, Abrazo, Dignity Health, Mayo, etc. I'm starting to feel very discouraged, as I want/need to start my career. I have tech experience and I am most interested in a new grad program preferably with magnet status. My question is: are my applications just getting denied because I have not officially taken/passed the NCLEX yet? Also any advise for my search would be so so appreciated!
Thanks :)
