Yes I did. Thank you. I work at Kings Harbor Nursing home in the Bronx. They do hire new grads occasionally and have 4 weeks orientation which is better than other nursing homes around NYC. They usually hire through agencies since they have a contract but I know couple of people who got hired when they applied in person. It's a 720 bed nursing home and decent environment and people to work with. Everyone helps you out and makes sure you feel comfortable. Good luck with your graduation. Best wishes.

Hey can you give me little info about pre-employment exam at Kings Harbor please. I have an exam next week and I was being informed to be prepare for everything not just pharmacology. Thanks

You are absolutely right. Trying to use whatever network I have and making some by doing volunteer work once a week. I did door to door resume today and most of the people told me to go on their website and apply there. Which I already did couple of weeks ago. Thank you for the info. Let me know if you have any friends working in NYC and if there are any job openings they know. Sorry if I asked something personal. Thank you. :)

I haven't checked out corrections but now I will. I will give it a try at flu shot as well. The only problem is, it's upstate which is almost 2-3 hours away from where I live but I will apply there and see how things go. Congratulations to you and good luck. Thanks for the input. I really appreciate it.

I tried few but after learning few reviews I will focus more on home health care for a start. Thank you.

I don't have any preference as long as I can get experience. I have done my clinical in a nursing home and in a hospital. I went in person and spoke to them and handed my resume but they are not hiring either. I created my resume with the help of someone who works at the local resume. I proofed my resume for errors and consistency by several professional people. There were few mistakes and they helped me out. I followed up and made phone calls too but when I hear the same thing about no experience, it lets me down. Although you reply was motivating and I won't give up. Thank you so much.

Yes I have. I called them back since there wasn't any response but they told me they will call me when a position is available. Thank you for your reply though.

Hello Everyone!I graduated last year and passed my NCLEX-PN on the 3rd April 2012 and got my license in couple of weeks. I am struggling to find my first job. I applied to several LPN positions online via monster, career jet, indeed, workforce1, agencies, door to door resume, etc in NYC yet not a single reply or call from anyone. Almost every agency and every position requires minimum 6 months experience which I don't have. I don't have any preference and I am willing to work anywhere, nursing homes, clinics, temp, seasonal, anything you name it. All i need is start up to gain experience. I finding it discouraging and getting depressed with this situation. Above all, i don't mind any pay rate and willing to do volunteer work but as far as I know I think I won't be able to work as LPN volunteer. I need help if anyone knows any place where they hire new grad LPN In NYC. I moved to NY for nursing program and don't have any medical field related connections. It wasn't easy to become a LPN nurse having circumstances like everyone yet not having a job is eating me alive. Please help!!
