Did you have your resume proofread for spelling and grammar?

LA is a tough market for new grads. I advise that you apply at lots of smaller, community hospitals. It seems like at least some of them hire new grads, although they may not have formal new grad programs.

Good Luck.

You must not live around LA.

Most colleges offer some sort of job search and resume help service for their graduates.

As other have said, LA has a lot of nurses competing for positions. You are not being rejected because of your credit score.

I've had my credit score checked for nursing jobs before, it is a possibility. Hospitals do this, when you apply there is usually a waiver that includes them checking your FICO score.

I didn't say that the employers couldn't/wouldn't check credit (though I highly doubt they are looking at the credit of every applicant). I said that credit is not the determining factor given that OP is a new grad in a saturated job market and writes with questionable grammar.

Look outside of hospitals and in more rural areas.

[Meriwhen, ASN, BSN, MSN, RN]

Large metropolitan areas are hard to break into as a new grad, and having dings on your credit history doesn't help as some employers do a credit check (their logic: a poor credit rating...perhaps someone likely to divert drugs for some extra cash? Not saying it's a fair assumption, but that it does happen).

If you really want to go right into acute care, you may have to look in more rural areas. If you really want to stay in LA, you may have to look outside the hospital box and look at jobs in LTAC, SNF, rehab, LTC, psych, schools, clinics, and other areas. Once you get a year or two of nursing experience under your belt, then you have a better chance of transferring into acute care.

Best of luck.
