New grad RN miami - anyone hiring?

Nurses New Nurse

Published

I just graduated and passed the NCLEX. I have my RN license in FL now, but can't seem to get hired. Baptist and UM will only hire RN's with at least 1 year experience. I applied at MCH, Mercy, and North shore medical center. I am still waiting to hear back from them all. Any suggestions? I feel so useless sitting at home with my brand new license!! HELP!

Yes, I heard the same about Mount Sinai. Every Tuesday is open house job fair. Be prepared for a possible onsite interview. I'm also a new grad & recently got my license this April 2011 and I've been applying ever since. I just got a job with Memorial Regional L&D dept. Which is amazing because for a new grad with no RN experience to get a job there is amazing. They were my first choice....I applied there initially and got denied....after that I would go on every hospital website daily and apply to anything I could. I just happen to stumble upon this 6month perinatal internship program Memorial was offering to new grads! It had only been posted on their job site earlier that day. So I believe timing is everything. I must of filled out 100 applications and I only got one interview and I got the job. The pay is decent, the benefits are awesome, & the staff there are some of the best I've encountered. Keep applying & don't give up faith! :-)

I went to the last one... they are not hiring at this moment, at least that is what the HR lady said...the open house it is just for future opening...I'm also a new grad trying to find a job in Miami...good luck everyone!!!!

[h=1]I am new grad RN, I pass my NCLEX test four months ago, tired to apply in every website, in person at all hospitals, they say I need a year of experience, And I wonder where I will get ?

Finally someone said, go to apply as a CNA at Jackson Hosp, that was thirty days ago, but even so I'm still waiting, hard to believe, only in Miami. But do not give up, good luck....[/h]
