Specializes in PACU.

I would apply to anywhere and everywhere that might hire nurses. The NJ market is saturated with new grads so you're going up against a lot of competition from them and experienced nurses.

IvoryRN all of my friends are new RNs with BSNs & some have taken a year to get a job in NJ hospitals. It was suggested to apply at LTC facilities for faster employment or nursing homes!

Specializes in L&D, infusion, urology.

I would apply everywhere. Don't expect a job to come easily. You will have to put the work in to get hired somewhere. Start Googling.

I am currently looking in NJ & PA, but I'm pressing for a hospital position. Patiently applying to every hospital , big n small, near & far, within the 2 states. If your crunched for time, start with nursing homes, if your up north..VA Facilities. What was told to me: make it your job to apply to jobs until you land a job👍

how far into PA are you willing to go? Most hospitals in the Wilkes Barre /Scranton area are hiring, even new grads

I have an interview at Abington memorial next week. I think that's about an hour and 15 from my house.
