Connections! After spending months emailing, calling, sending resumes, going in person and hearing NOTHING, I called up every nurse, doctor, medical professional I know, or sort of know and just begged, asked, pleaded if they could give in my resume. Extremely humbling experience. I was looking in NYC and then branched out, got my license in Jersey, finally got my first and last interview, after a doc (relative by marriage) handed in my resume for me at this small community hospital in LI. I was willing to move though, I was looking for 8 mths and it was the worst! Friends of mine have started working in St. Peter's in Albany. I've heard that they call you they day after you apply. Good Luck!!!!
