gingersue, thank you for your reply. all of the agencies i have called or researched all want 1 year or more experience. i do not have any experience other than the 2 months at my previous employer and the 6 months i did as a gn in 2006. i am really lost and confused. i want so badly to work. thanks again

hi everyone i am hoping someone may be able to help me with some advice. i am a new rn, i passed boards in december 2007. i have only had one position since then and it was for about 2 months, one month of classroom/orientation stuff and on month with actual patients. i was since placed on leave to find another position but i have not found anything yet, within the same facility. even though there are lots and lots of positions open. i get this gut feeling that something that was not true was said about me in that facility but i cannot prove it. i am so frustrated and depressed, i have children to take care of and i am a single mon. i love nursing and i wasnt to work more than anything. i have applied for jobs all ove the state and i get no where. i have called recruiters, no call back. i am sick of everone talking about the shortage and then there is me who wants to learn and work so badly but i am never given a chance. i don't know what to do, are there any others out there going through the same thing? should i go to the eeoc? i have talked to the hr manager but again i have gotten no response from him. i apply to this company on almost a daily basis, last night i applied for 15 different positions and all i get are emails back stating i was not selected for the job. i will listen to anyone's advice. what do i do, how do i get the experience if no one will give me a chance? thank you
