hi all! I am a new grad - graduated in june and passed nclex in august...and needless to say I can't get a job in hospital. right now, I work part time in a private practice, but now I'm thinking that hospitals aren't going to count that as experience, so have been trying to switch. It is discouraging how hard this has been. at first I thought that was holding me back was not having my bsn, and only my adn (thus I have been enrolled in a BSN program and am in my first semester of it) but after reading some posts, I'm seeing that those with a bachelors are also having the same problem. I have been feeling down and discouraged. is there anyone else that can relate? I thought I was alone in this journey, but reading some of the other posts made me realize that I'm not. I'm from the east coast and there haven't been a lot of openings in the hospitals in my state. Starting to think that finding a hospital job is harder than going through nursing school itself!
