Hi everyone, Sorry to give you a sob story on my situation, but I have been out of school since spring 2012. I had JUST passed my NCLEX last month, after failing multiple times. For the past year and a couple of months, I have been working at a restaurant as a server, simply to make ends meet. Not that anyone needs to know, but it affected me, but my GF of over 3 years broke up with me within that time span. I was pretty sad and lightweight depressed while still trying to to keep motivated to push on and pass my exam. It took me awhile to get over, really it did.. Now that I finally (thank gawd) passed my exam, I find myself almost two years out of school, jobless (I quit my server job before the end of the new year), no type of healthcare experience within those past almost 2 years, and now i feel like a sitting duck. I dont even know if i am considered a "NEW GRAD" by these standards, and ultimately I feel scared to even apply for any position, New Grad or not and some of these new grad openings accept only those who graduated 2013 or later. I know what i am capable of as nurse and i am confident in my own abilities and whatever i have to offer, it just sucks that i have nothing to show for it... Any help or advice at this time would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks fam.
