This article is great. I am not really a new grad because I graduated in December of 2010, however, it took me 10 months to get a mediocre job as a nurse in a retirement facility. The job pays well, and I am part time and eligible to go full time, however, I had to go back to school for my BSN d/t all the hospitals in the surrounding areas ONLY accepted bachelors program degrees and at least a year experience. Talk about the frustration. I definitely know how that goes. All I can say is hope and pray, and if you have to complete a job that is out of the ordinary, just try to get anything and everything. The economy sucks, as we all know, but sometimes you have to take what you can get. Keep the faith new grads! We all will get our dream jobs someday soon! I promise!
