I found a small community hospital a hour north of SF that is eager to hire me. They are offering $30/hr and since I need work I want to take it. I just feel kind of guilty taking the position if I am going to be applying to local new grad programs for Feb. Thanks for the advice on agency nursing. As soon as I posted my resume online I began getting a lot of calls from agencies but some of them were unprofessional and made me weary. I guess I better start applying to Feb. new grad programs now because I imagine some hospitals have already started the application process. Thanks so much for your assistance and advice.---Bhima

I recently moved to the Bay Area from Columbus, OH. I have my BSN and I recently passed my NCLEX here. However, I having trouble finding a job. I applied at every hospital within 20 miles. I have recently began searching further (which would expand my applications to 20 different hospitals). I am getting discouraged because it seems I am doing everything I am supposed to but without any luck. I am considering working as a registry nurse for the time being, until I can find a permanent position. I would appreciate anyone's advice, or if anyone knows of any good registries it would be a geat help. Thanks, Bhima
