Starting to feel like my ADN was a mistake

Published

Just graduated this past May.

Took and passed my board in June.

Currently unemployed.

Have sent out NUMEROUS applications with nothing in return.

I feel like my hard work; all of the long clinical days, hours studying, off-days getting together with classmates was for nothing.

I live here in Madison, WI.

I LOVED my clinical experiences at Meriter hospital. 9T, 11T, and an IMCU Preceptorship.

It seems that they don't want me though. A: I'm a new grad. And B: I'm an ADN, not a BSN.

I feel like these past two years have been a mistake. The sad thing is, all I want to do is nurse. Meriter or any hospital is my dream. All I want to do is help people.

I'm 22 years old, and a male. All I want to do is help; but I can't even get a damn interview to express my feelings.

Specializes in OB/GYN, Psych.

Froedert rejects me immediately, too. I have much better luck with Wheaton Franciscan and Aurora (I've actually had interviews and job offers! Imagine that!). :)
