I don't even get a call back from places I thought were in demand for nurses such as Fort Duncan Regional Medical Center in Eagle Pass, TX or hospitals in North Dakota. I feel like a loser when I don't even get a call for an interview when Fort Duncan is offering a $24,000 bonus to work there.

I'm 44 years old and I'm the only one in my graduating class that doesn't have a job yet. I have applied to over a 200 jobs in the past 6 months. I graduated with a 4.0 average with an ADN degree. I know a student that barely passed, was always late to clinicals, and was on Facebook most of the time during lectures that has gotten 3 jobs since graduating. In my previous profession as an accountant, I always got a job offer after an interview. I had 5 interviews so far and I have gotten any job offers. During my last interview, the nurse manager seemed to like me but the peer interview was a disaster. A young girl came walking in and took one look at me and rolled her eyes. She then proceeded to read interview questions off of a piece of paper. She never looked up once after reading each question. After I answered each question she would slightly shake her head and roll her eyes. Finally at the end she finally looked up and said we will call you in a week or send you a letter. Three weeks later I get the "we decided to pursue another candidate..." So I know how you feel.
