Hello- I graduated with a BSN and passed boards in June- have applied to I would have to say at least a hundred jobs- LTC, Skilled Nursing Facilites, Hospitals, Clinics, etc- and nothing. I had an interview for the Salem ICU internship but received news it had been canceled. Every position that I have applied for I have been passed up for someone who is more qualified, ie not a new graduate. Due to family circumstances I cannot relocate. Are there any other new grads out there also struggling? Any advice/suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

Hello- I am a new RN- graduated BSN and passed boards in June. Since then I have sent out at least 50 resumes- hospitals, clinics, assisted living facilities- and have either been rejected due to lack of experience or have heard no response. I am beginning to get discouraged, due to family obligations I can't relocate, plus I love Oregon. I love nursing, I miss being in the hospital helping patients- After 4 long years, I want to finally work! Any advice- it would be greatly appreciated!
