[jellybeanz]

hi all, i am a new lpn that lives in southern nj. i have been searching for a job for 2 months now and i am at my wits end. i see all these jobs in pa or northern nj. i am willing to drive an hr to work no problem. i have even gotten a permit in pa. but i don't have any previous medical experience. i have listed my clinical experience on my resume since day one, but all the positions i see want at least 1 yr experience, whether you have clinical experience or not. any advice or words of wisdom would be much appreciated at this time. i spent alot of money and time in nursing school, i did well academic honors, and leadership award and still nothing. they complain about a nursing shortage but me and my classmates are here willing to learn, work etc.. i am due to get married in may, but i can't even start to plan without a job... help this is putting major stress on me and my family. any ideas or suggestions would help. thanks for listening.
