RN positions in SC

[trimeduRN]

I recently relocated back to SC for family reasons and am having a very hard time finding a job. I moved back to the Charleston area and have submitted at least 40 applications and only 1 interview. I am now submitting my apps across the state. Does anyone know of a hospital that is actively hiring. In this area, there are 3 nursing schools with at least 80+ graduates each semester, so I know it would be hard a new grad. But I have 1yr RN and 10months LPN and can get any responses. Can anyone send me some pointers about what I am doing wrong. I am almost at the point of going back where I came from. I dont know, just getting very frustrated now. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried the VA Hospital? They are always looking for nurses. Check out their website.

I just found a job at Providence Downtown :-)

I have put in applications to the VA (Columbia twice) to more than one of their campuses. Never a response. I even had the charge nurse from the VA's PACU on my application; still nothing. Providence DT and NE always told me I didn't have enough experience. I'm beyond frustrated, because my mom doesn't understand that it really is difficult to find a job right now and she blames it on something I'm doing wrong. I MUST FIND A JOB SOON!
