RN Boyfriend

Thanks ALL!!! This has been helpful, especially info on Rehab facilities! Thanks for the support this is a great site. She is willing to move out of state....in response to whomever asked. Thanks!

My girlfriend graduated from Nursing School in TN this past May, and Passed her NCLEX in July on the first try. Since then shes been applying to jobs like crazy. She has sent out over 80 resumes to positions in 6 states. She has also applied to multiple positions at hospitals she really likes. All she gets in return are HR reps with attitudes and unresponsive Nurse Managers. Last night her best friend from her program called her and she got a job at the Hospital my girl was hoping for. She is sweet, caring and serious about her profession. Her resume has been reviewed and approved by nurse practiioner family members and other professionals. She has a 3.4 GPA and good references. I just want to see her happy again and she is soooo defeated right now it is painful to watch. Even though I would prefer to have her here in mid-east Tennessee I would be ecstatic if she got a job in Timbucktoo!! So my questions are, What is the best way to get into Physician Offices? Will working in a non hospital RN position effect her ability to get the jobs she wants? When applying to out of area positions (3 - 14 hrs away) is she being looked over for not being local? Should she concentrate on her local area? Also, is this the norm right now? Shes so upset I don't want to talk about these suggestions with her untill I get some feedback. THANKS!!
