newRNurse08

hi, i graduated BSN program with honors in June 08 and received my license in Sept 08 found a job in nov. 08 and was terminated in Jan. 09. I have been searching for a new grad position for about 2 months now and am not having any luck i am extremely worried that i am slowly but surely losing skills and nursing knowledge. i have been told by one of the hospitals in my area that they will not consider me because my graduation date is more than six months ago and the next new grad programs in my area arent until the summer it will have already been a year since my graduation and i am worried i wont be chosen over the new grads who are graduating this summer. I need some major advice and guidance. I live in the inland empire area and am willing to travel up to 50 miles. Please help!!!

Congrats! I am a new grad as well but graduated in June and got let go from my first job. Now i am having extreme difficulty looking for a new position considering it has been almost 9 months since my graduating and i lost a little confidence from being fired from my first job even though I felt good about my progress and improvement and did not see my termination coming. Any helpful hints for finding a job in this economy.
