very sad story

Here I am, a new nurse in which, I feel great for getting to this point. Yet, without a job I have yet to feel like a nurse and I find myself missing the hospital environment. I graduated at the end of April, and written and passed the June 2 CRNE. I've applied to many sites for jobs and have yet to be invited for an interview. I've checked over my resume, time and time again compared to sample CV resumes and checked over by career centers. So I started this thread to see if any others are having similar difficulties in the job search. For those that have received offers, what did you do? I find when I go down to the hospital's I find myself handing my resume to the HR department which is similar to handing it through the internet sites. Is it a good idea to find out the nurse managers of the job posting and going down to the hospital and handing it to them. I tried that once and it seem like it wasn't the right thing to do, because she didn't seem very pleased. any suggestions?

Oh, ok. Goodluck, and hopefully tomorrow for you.

I Passed! I'm in Grimsby

Are you sure? I just got mine, and I'm in Grimsby, my mail doesn't come till around noon.

121 out of 200. Let me know when you get your results, I'm within your area, and still waiting as well.

I checked the mail, nothing. I live in Grimsby, which is close to Hamilton. I haven't slept well in days, I'm hoping for tomorrow. I'm really not liking this waiting. Anybody in the Niagara area, heard anything yet?

Hopefully some of the results are going to start coming in tomorrow, good luck for those of us stilling waiting, we're all in this together.

Ah! This is ridiculous, there has got to be a better way of doing this. I don't at all feel sorry for the CNO, I understand that it takes some time to encode and process the results. They should have enough resources, and we have a right to get our exams in a timely fashion and I'm just so frustrated right now. I get another weekend of uncertainity, great! ok venting over, haha.

I'm starting to get really nervous now, especially with the last reply about knowing 6 people that failed in NL. I'm in Ontario, and I wrote the exam in Hamilton. Good luck to everybody that are awaiting results, and congrates to those that have already passed!
