It's been 3 months for me since I graduated and I passed the NCLEX a little over a month ago. You have to be very persistent. Keep applying to jobs...keep calling people. Apply to jobs you normally wouldn't want just to get experience. I have applied to 300-400 jobs. It's not that I wouldn't make a great grad nurse it's just that everyone else does too. Consider moving out of state. Apply to every hospital in the area. I live in Michigan...don't even bother applying here there isn't much ha.

Look up the numbers of LTCs/Rehabs/Surgi centers in your area (hmmm...Miami. Can u say plastic surgery? :wink2:)

Call them, ask to speak to DON/managers/etc and politely ask if they are looking for nurses right now...then go into the 'new grad ready to work' speech.

It worked for me, I got an interview....and it's coming up next week!

Hm I'm the same as you, I've been looking for 6 months now, but all I can suggest is to try EVERYWHERE. Nursing homes, hospitals, ect. I figure after that first year of experience then you can go to where ever you want... Good luck!

there is a thread on here about jobs in FL and several people listed hospitals that were hiring. See if you can search for it. Good luck.
