Newly licensed Nurse trying to find a Job!

Published

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone out there had any suggestions about where to apply for a new graduate. I have been licensed in IL since the beginning Sept. and applying every day with no luck. I know it is tough out there for everyone esp. new grads but does anyone know of a facility that is willing to hire a new graduate? I would rather not work at a SNF but if thats the only place I can get experience to eventually get a position in a hospital then so be it. At this point I'm willing to consider anything; it's the most frustrating thing to send out so many applications with NO response in return.

Thank you in advance for any and all responses.

Try checking the grammar/format on your resume. Maybe it's an issue with your application, not the fact that you're a new grad.

Specializes in PACU, pre/postoperative, ortho.

If you live near the statelines, check nearby too. Terre Haute, Vincennes, Evansville, IN all seem to regularly have listings. Had interviews in those areas, but luckily also landed a job closer to home.
