New Yorker New-Grad in despair of getting a job

[malicexmirage]

hello there! so yeah I am a new grad, just last year from the Philippines around April 2010, I took the local board and passed, got my philippine license, eventually went to New York around October '10, I'm a US citizen, on the process of credential verification 4 the state requirement to be a RN in NY state, and right now I started the year by jobhunting. and currently hunting x____x...It's pretty awful that I have been sending out my resumes to certain hospitals, I applied being a Patient Care Associate since I am a foreign graduate and it will take probably a year for me to get a valid New York State RN License since verification process is LOONG, and the position is abit applicable i think w/ my unlicensed status... to think that I am getting impatient everyday waiting for them to call to interview me. Tried walk-ins, tried calling back the hospitals from which I went to, still under process/nothing has happened yet =(( I am so much in despair....I really do need a job right now because I don't like the idea that I am 21 and technically dependent that I should become productive by now, to think that I also want to earn for myself as much as I wanted to have my very-own settlement away from my family (I kinda feel like I'm a burden or something). this is my output, forgive me i am just as depressed, I also tried joining this agency (nanny/babysitter) at least for reference or experience. thing is I really prioritize to have hospital work! >

so to readers, I'm asking you, can you suggest anything that I must do? since I am a newbie in the career world and I am like searching and wanting to take steps for me to get up from my career ladder towards my goal to be a nurse someday i'm so depressed (
