Starting in Long Term Care - are you stuck there?

[imapsychrn]

As the usual story goes, most of the nursing positions exclude new grads. If I was to find a job in Long Term Care and work there for a year or two, would that be good 'experience' for a resume?

Say for mental health or OB who want nursing experience, will this help?

Long Term Care sounds like an excellent way to get your foot into the door, when being a new grad. I would definitely keep applying to hospitals though even if I have a job.
