I am new here and have been reading a lot of posts. Can't really find one that is recent relating to my situation so here I am. I graduated 10 years ago and practiced very briefly (6 months), then had to move to a different country that I couldn't practice Nursing. My background is Sales unrelated to healthcare. Now that we've immigrated to the US, I was able to process my license and now I am in the process of looking for a job.
I am desperate if someone is willing to give me some advice. There's not really a lot of New grad residency program here in my city, most of them are already occupied and I've read they are VERY competitive. What is the best way for me to get back in to the nursing industry? Any advice would be much appreciated. I'm really stressing out and going down into depression. ?
Congrats! Reading your post I had to double check that it wasn’t something I had written because it sounded identical to my situation. After a 12 year gap and a refresher course I’m also about to come off of my 3 month orientation. It’s so good to see people overcoming this and being successful.

I was in a similar situation. Graduated twelve years ago during recession, unable to find a job. I took a refresher course and got a job with tree months of orientation for new grads. Very stressful, but I am almost done with orientation.
