A lot of what you have said is what I have been told and I have been in denial about. Thank you for your time and advice. I will definitely keep it in mind as I move forward with this job search.

Thank you so much for you advice. It is greatly appreciated. You seem very knowledgeable about the local job market. I wanted to know if you would advise a new graduate to work as an Acute Dialysis RN. Would the hospitals in this areas still favor this type of hospital experience if I wanted to eventually go to a med/surg floor

*quite a few

I graduated in December and I have not worked as nurse yet. And I have I applied to quite acute care facilities, LTACH, and nursing homes. I have gotten calls back for the nursing homes but I really had set my hopes on getting into an acute care facility. I saw this as important to my long term goal of become an L&D nurse and I thought that experience in an acute setting or LTACH setting would boost my chances of entering that specialty. Many of the hospitals also request medsurg experience which is why I am hesitant towards taking the job with the nursing and rehab facility because I am fearful that experience will not make me an attractive candidate for those facilities when I am able to transition. I am currently looking into beginning a RN to BSN program sometime this year

I am a new grad with an ADN that has recently relocated to the Dallas- Fort Worth area. I have been seeking to secure a job in Dallas-Fort Worth or Plano area for about 3 weeks with little to no luck. Is it too early for me to feel anxious or discouraged? Most of the job announcements are requesting a BSN or experience, neither of which I currently possess. I am planning to return to school once I have successfully obtained a job. It feels like I have applied nearly everywhere and haven't gotten much of a response. I wanted to know if anyone has any helpful suggestions for me during this search.
