I'm an LVN who just got my CA license and comeback here right away from my vacation in Manila thought of finding a job right away. BUT NOPE. They dont like new nursing grads here and they dont hire nurses without at least one year experience. So what...

Lucky for you! in this economy and no hospitals or any nursing place hiring for new grads. I'd say ...TAKE IT!!...I would take it in a minute. I am an LVN and wanted a job so much and someone who can hire me and give me the training and experience i ...

Hi All Nurses, I recently passed my NCLEX-PN and did my BLS also. I live in the East Bay area of California. Been applying for a job anywhere from Assisted living to Nursing homes, but unfortunately no one is hiring without at least one year experien...

I understand Sir! I dont have any money to support myself on living expenses. I don"t have a car either and and only have a couple of dollars in my pocket. Where do you think i will stay and sleep? Any idea i will do it with all kindheartedly . Plus....

I understand everything you guys said in here. The ONLY thing is.......HOW DO THEY EXPECT YOU TO GET WORK EXPERIENCE WHEN THEY DON'T WANT TO HIRE YOU AND TRAIN OTHERS AND GIVE YOU THE EXPERIENCE YOU NEED? ITS A STUPID CONCEPT!! DON'T YOU THINK?? THEY...

Are there anymore LTC's in Bay area still hires new grads?? if so where are they located> I might be interested to work there...thanks.

How do you get experience if they dont give you a chance to gain experience. I don't see the logic on this. After studying for this damn exam then now what? they wont even hire you because you don't a have experience at a year! No wonder no one wants...
