New Graduate RN

Published

I graduated with my BSN in May 2014 and then quickly - and I mean quick, 30 minute NCLEX test - passed the boards and received my RN license in NY in June 2014. I have been applying for positions and calling around, but with no luck.

Can anybody offer any advice or help with the job hunt? I have experience working as a CNA in some great Boston hospitals, but now I am starting to think I should not have left Boston.

I am not a hospital snob either. I am very open to working in nursing home, LTC, etc.

However, even some of the nursing homes I have called will not accept new graduates.

Any advice is appreciated :)

Hello mintone,

You can check out New York Hospital Queens. They will be having an Open House on August 9, 2014 according to their website.

Please check out link below for further information. It is challenging and can be frustrating, however just hang in there and stay positive. Hope you will find something soon.

New York Hospital Queens - RN OPEN HOUSE!!!!

All the best!

Wow thank you so much Veva! I will definitely be attending. I somehow missed that post in all of my research. Funny thing is I actually called the HR there today because it's one I am very interested in and they never mentioned it.

Thanks again for the tip!

Based on the site it doesn't look like an invite is needed. And they actually specify they will consider new grads with BSN so that is awesome. Look at the link though because they want you to bring specific documents

  • General School Nurse
  • 1 : 1 School Nurse

There open house already seemed to have passed but maybe you could try calling the contact. Hope this helps.

Oh man I wish I knew about the Queens event earlier! I don't have my letters of recommendations and my RN license still hasn't come in the mail. I'm crossing my fingers that they hold these events often, does anyone know if they do?

UPDATE: I contacted them and they said printing out your online verification on the NYS office of professions is ok. Looks like I'll be attending!
