LPNRead

Hi Happynurs3, I feel your pain. I graduated from school in April, 2011 and took and passed boards immediately. I have applied to over 100 jobs since then and nothing. it is utterly frustrating right now. I am in South Florida and no one in my class has found a job as yet. 2 class mates moved (1 to New Orleans and other to Texas). Both found jobs within 1 week of being in the other states. If anyone know of anywhere hiring new LPN nurses in S. Fla please let me know. I don't know what to do anymore. :'( :'( :'(

Thank You!

Thanks for all the positive feedback. I know there is really nothing I can do as they probably just hired someone with a day more experience than myself. The price of a new nurse.... I was so excited, anxious, and ready to work. But I will try to take it as a positive lesson learned and move on, cause... well... I need a job so gotta keep looking

I am highly upset. I just graduated from nursing school (LPN) In April and passed my boards 3 weeks later. My 1st real job interview was with Cleveland Clinic. They had several positions (about 10) for "New LPN Grads". I filled out an online app and they called me immediately for an interview. I interviewed with 8 charge nurses the first time and they loved me and immediately gave me a tour of the facility and called me back a week later for a 2nd interview with the Chief of one of the departments they wanted me to work in. After that interview I was called back the next week to meet the Physician of another department they thought I'd be a good fit for. A week later I received yet ANOTHER call back for a 4th interview with yet another Dr. I've done all the necessary: send thank you notes, followed up with call back, etc. I was told I'd get a call either way. Just now I checked the status on their website they hired someone else. I am ****** that they wasted my time with 4 interviews and 2 months of back and forth. How can someone keep calling you back so many times, each time saying how everyone loves you and you'd be a great fit in the company, then hire someone else? I am angry and appalled!!! :devil:

MissNurse1105, Where in Florida are you located? And what agency are you with? If you don't mind me asking?

Where are you located? I graduated end of April and I am finding it extremely hard to find a job. I am in south florida btw. I had an interview @ cleveland clinic with 7 of the head nurses and they loved me immediately, called me back to interview with 2 seperate Drs for 2 seperate positions. Told me if they both liked me I had my choice of who I want to work with. I thought both interviews went extremely well. It's going on week 3 and still no call back. I called to see what was up and was told they are still interviewing and will call me if anything, that was before July 4th... still nothing . I am really trying not to get discouraged but, When you apply to 30+ positions and NO ONE calls you back what do you do?!?!
