Hey everyone! I know that this might sound somewhat strange, but I have recently been looking at available job opening for nurses in the the Chicagoland area, and it seems that every position requires at least one yr of experience. If you are a recent nursing school graduate and are looking for a job, obvioulsly you haven't worked as a nurse before. Do some hospitals consider clinicals as a yr of experience or do you have to work in a doctor's office or non-hospital setting for a little bit? Hopefully I'm not the only one wondering about this! Thanks!
