RNstokes

I work at a suburban hospital about 45 minutes from my house. When I graduated nursing school I was able to land interviews with most of the major city hospitals but never landed a position. This I attribute to the fact that my school alone graduated 500 nurses and there are about 7-10 nursing schools in a 30 mile radius. The city is saturated with nurses and the hiring is mainly for nurses with experience unless you already had a foot in the door. L&D is even harder because people don't usually leave that specialty so the turnover is very slow. I would not leave my current position until I knew for sure I would land something else. Many of my fellow graduates are still loking for positions. There are Nurses at my current hopsital who have been RN's for almost a year and still working as techs. Good luck to you. The way I landed interviews was persistance. Keep calling HR and making yourself known and beef up the resume!!
