new RN..what now?

Hi, I am a foreign RN just arrived USA last May 2010..

I graduated BSN last March 2009. Since then I have no RN job experience.

I took and passed NCLEX last February 2011

I know RN residency program here in the USA but i am not qualified anymore because they only accept graduates from 2010-2011.

What will I do? Where would i find my first RN job?

Where shall i try my luck? every hospital wants 1-2 yrs RN experience.. (

I am loosing hope, i don't know really what to do... Please help. any advise?

I do have BLS certification just recently. That's the only thing i have aside from my RN license. I am in Southern California btw (LA county)

Thank you so much!

    I'm in the same boat as you are. Graduated December 2010 and passed the NCLEX February 2011 and have no true hospital experience other than clinicals. I'm located in Dallas and am very frustrated as well.

    Here in Michigan, people are telling me that long term care facilities and nursing homes are willing to hire new grads with no real world experience. Perhaps that's the in your respective states also?
