I just graduated in December and have just passed the NCLEX and I can tell you that there are New Grads from May that still do not have jobs. Charlotte has 7 nursing schools in the area and we are all fighting for the handful of new grad jobs that are available. Unless you are already in Novant Health or CMC system the chances of being hired are slim to none. Sadly, I have applied for around 50 jobs and have had no luck. CMC sent out a letter to all new grads, who are not currently working for them as CNA's already, stating they will not be going forward with applications. Hopefully by the time you graduate it will be somewhat better. Good luck in nursing school and with NCLEX!

I graduate in December:yeah:and my school offers the Kaplan review class but it is so expensive. I've heard mixed reviews on whether or not to take a review class, some say take it and others say its a waste of time. Are there other classes that are less expensive and just as good? Any advice would be great!
