I recently graduated and passed boards! Lately I have been applying and applying to job after job My resume stands out, I have hospital experience and excellent references! I don't understand why it's so hard for me to even get an interview:confused: Half of my graduating class already found jobs and I feel like I'm the last one standing that nobody wants in their hospital but yet don't know why. I even know a few people who have a criminal history or bad history period with the law and got hired:eek: I just don't get it! Is it just that the hospitals don't look at that or they do and still give them a chance? I have an excellent history, never been in trouble or even arrested in my life....so what is the problem?? I have a positive attitude, I'm very hardworking, I'm a teamplayer and want to learn everything I can to be one of the best there is....I did not get into nursing for the money...I got into nursing because I care about helping people...making a difference...and it seems the more and more I apply to these jobs, the more I get rejected I feel like just giving up and moving on since everyone in the world is going into nursing now...I didn't just decide one day 2 years ago, hey I think I will get into nursing because of job security AND it pays well...No...I didn't do that...I started out as a CNA for a good 8 years, went to school and became a Medical Assistant and did this for 5 years then at the same time took pre-req classes for Nursing...I worked so hard to get where I am today....why am I having a hard time finding a job?? I'm so stressed out....and just when I thought the stress was over since I graduated and passed boards....I'm so happy for my nursing peers who have jobs, because they are not having to go through what I am going through...I wish them the best and congratulate every single one of them when they announce the got a job...never in a million years would I wish anything bad on anyone...I'm not that type of person...just confused as to how people with bad pasts have jobs but not me...can someone out there help me and maybe shed some light as to what I may need to do or should do....I would appreciate it very much...Thank you...butterfly_RN
