Wecome to my world, I've been on the hunt for 2 years. Keep at it, we will both get there on day ) Also be on the look out for Skills refresher course on a local colleges, might be a good thing to have on the resume. Volunteer never hurt either.

Don't let this defeat you!! If this is what you really want to do then, be a nurse. I've been out for 2 years, so I'm worse off then you, but I keep applying and keep trying. recently I found a refresher course for new grads at a local college, and if I can find the money I gonna take it. that will look better, what happened to use will serve as a learning opportunity. Did we wither and give up, or did we dust our shoulders off and find a better place with the kind of support we deserve!!!! Cry now for a bit, I did, But don't cry forever, this too shall pass. Good luck!!!:hug:

I was let go for similar reasons, I had little support and too many preceptor. First and for most, don't panic, you will get through this. Do what I should have done and, talk your preceptor, ask her to stop talking behind you and help you. Ask her what you need to do to succede. then go to your manager and tell her everything, that you and precepitor do get along spends more time telling other about your mistakes rather teaching you, tell her about the lack of support, that you are willing to what it takes to make things work but still need the support of the staff. If things to work, make sure you leave on your own. I didn't and I think that is what is happering my finding a job. Don't let this be your undoing, don't let them get to you! Start looking for a new job within the company on a different floor first, then outside. If you know anyone at another hospital, network with them. Good luck

:yeah::yeah: Say it louder I don't think anyone heard you!!!! :w00t:

That's a easy question for me, it the inablility to get new nurses hired. We had thousands answer the "Nursing Shortage" call, and yet when those thousands graduated, only a handful of jobs were there. And before anyone says in was just the economy, Doctors don't seem to have a problem gettingn hired for there residency's, niether to pharmacy grads. There has got to be better way to transition more new nurses from student to competant nurse, and it has to be more then a few people at a time even when the economy is slow!!!!!!

Good tips, wish I had comunity hospitals in my area. I have joined a professional group and they have been soo helpful to me! Will have to looking to taking some classes to see if it helps, but and this point I feel it would be crazy not to apply at every opportunity I see.

Congrats!! I hope to say those same words soon:D

NOPE, at least not in Seattle. All employers care about is experience. I have a BSN and I have been looking for almost 2 years. I was told that having the degree will mostly help in the future, some hospitals require it, but are willing to hiring if you go enroll in school with in months. Good luck with what ever you choose.

While Nursing school was hard and brought me to tears, nothing compares to searching 2 years for job your not "qualified" for. I have never been so hurt, angry and frustrated on a daily basis. I can remember hating school at time, but never do I remember thinking I was wasting my time and should give up....Until now. To have a degree (BSN), and to push through school, sacrifice so much thinking that it will all be better, only to find out it was lie, and you are about as wanted as a bum on the street....*sigh To those who have found a job, cherish it, to those still in school good luck the real battle begins AFTER the nclex.

Story of my life:rolleyes:

HA is all I have to say to them!! I don't know the exact numbers but there are more people then jobs out there. I have been searching for over a year! the "shortage" is a lie!! Yes school need more good educators, that is true if education over all, not just nursing. One job I applied to, was open for only 12 hours because they had almost 100 people apply, ask the recuiter how many would get the job, she said only 3!

Washington State, Seattle-Tacoma area, and like someone said were New grad. Those "millions" of jobs are you sure they are for new grads or for those that have at least one or more years experience? Because I have found some hospitals out hear with 20 or more posting, but not for us newbies.

Working retail is where I'm headed I can't get a job soon! Still I haven't giving up yet either. Good luck :)

That job sound great, be thankful besides you can do so much as an IT nurse within a hospital if you choose to leave it won't matter that you aren't "in a clinical area"!!!

You do what you have to do. I spent an entire year looking for a job before I found one (graduated may 09), then lost that job just 4 months later. Now I'm back looking for a job again. I've also started to apply for part time job doing anything, dishwashing, cashiering ect. It sucks but that seems to be life right now. I haven't applyed for CNA jobs because having an RN license means that I and the facility could be liable if I do something wrong. I worked to hard for the to throw it away. Ironiclly I worked so hard I can't even use the stupid thing Hopefully so this "anti-new grad" thing will go away and will all be in demand again! Good luck:twocents:
