I believe it's because of the required "Experience" that the hospitals ask for. I'm in the south florida region so there are numerous hospitals hiring in the area, but if they don't list that the position requires experience, it requires ACLS, which I plan to obtain after I'm employed. I graduated from a BSN program in Savannah, Ga and the majority of my classmates had a job before they graduated. If it wasn't for my husband's job being in south florida I would have definetely stayed there or at least in the GA.

I'm definetly in the same boat. I have applied for at least 50 jobs since I graduated, and have heard nothing yet. I also have my license, and PCA experience. I guess we just have to be patient and a job will soon come. Good luck to you and all of the other new grads that's in our shoes!!!

Hello everyone, My name is Sparkles and I'm new to allnurses but, I read a couple of theards and thought that maybe someone could give me some advice about nursing position for new grads in south florida. I recently moved here after graduating from a BSN program in Savannah, Ga and while I was adttending school in our last semester we had all kind of nursing recruiters visiting our classrooms, talking to us about the opportunities available at their hospital, and when to apply, and the process that it would take. But now that I have relocated to this area, it's totally different from what I experienced in GA. I've been told I couldn't apply for any position until i have my license, and many of the hospitals aren't even considering new grad positions. I'm just curious as to why is everything so difficult down here? How do things work in this area, or is the hiring process a product of the recession?
