NY and NJ hospitals that are willing to accept new grads

[nyRN1989]

I graduated in May 2013 and got my license in July.

Since then, I tried my best to find a hospital job. I only got 2 hospital

interviews but both of them hired someone with more experience.

I was hopeless and frustrated because all hospitals seemed to want experienced RNs

but where can I get that experience from??

So I decided to take any RN job first to gain some RN experience.

I started my first RN job at a surgical center in NJ but this is a per-diem job. they call me

about once a week and sometimes they would calll me the day before and say I don't

need to come since there are not enough cases.

I desperately want to work in a hospital. becoming a nurse was my dream and

I can't wait to pursue my career.

I did my preceptorship in NICU and I am very passionate about taking care

of sick babies and children. but as a new grad, finding any hospital job was

difficult.

does anyone have an advice on what I should do

anyone knows an unit at a hospital that hires new grad?? I got both NY and NJ RN licenses.

I would appreciate every little comments :)

Apply throughout the state. You have your foot in the door in a per-diem job, so try outside the hospital as well as in. Stick to the "acute care" experience, and keep applying and applying everywhere.
