Update** i finally got a job. It seems like the past 2 months have gone by like an eternity. All i can say for all those still struggling keep hope, you will get a job too

thanks everyone, i appreciate all your input. thus far i have gotten 1 interview and i have 2 more coming up. i did go to that career fair in edison and have extended my wanted positions from med-surg to ICU and tele also. It was funny, when i went to the fair i saw all the people that i kept bothering on the phone so many times. hopefully something will come up. As for now i have to go back to waiting tables. Oh, and i think the theory on hiring new grads in big waves is right.

Im in morristown NJ. I am applying to every hospital in a 40 mile radius. i want med-surg but will take ICU, tele, or critical care. ive already applied to all those new grad programs and im a BSN. oh, and ive tried all those agencies. they always say they only hire ppl with 1 yr experience, which is what i hear from EVERYONE!

hello all. im just at my wits end. I have gone through 4 long years of school, studied and (thank god) passed the NCLEX my first time, but now i have another blockade. i cant get a job. not only can i not get a job, i cant even get an interview. i decided to take the summer of and relax, but this has turned out to be disastrous since every hospital i have applied to has already hired their new grads. I have a pretty strong resume and have sent my application to nearly 15 hospitals. i ahve been waiting for some sort of reply from anywhere but havent heard a peep. today i spent all day trying to call the recruiters of the hospitals or talk to HR to see the status. most times i get the same stuff-we'll contact you if we want you. and most places say not to bother coming in just give application via fax or email. i dont know what to do. please help. thanks
