Not so new grad question

[pcawiz]

Hi all. To make a really long story short, I graduated with my ASN in the summer of 2007, moved to CA and was unable to find a position and now recently moved to GA. I was previously licensed as an LPN, but took an LPN to RN program instead of practicing (so pretty much I have the ballpark of about 2000 clinical hours, but it has been a while). I passed the nclex just over 2 years ago, still have not worked anywhere in the field of health care and was wondering if the average "new grad" is still prepared to practice if they are still issued a license by endorsement and able to find a position in 2010. Is the new grad program enough? Or do you think a re-entry program should be considered? Any thoughts and tips would definitely be appreciated. It's been so long since clinical I thought I would ask.

I don't know the answer to your last question, but I know that every new grad program I've looked at has specified that candidates have graduated from nursing school in the past 6 - 12 months.

kennesaw state university and the medical center of central georgia both have reentry programs that would help you transition
