:hug: I hope you find something soon. Several of my classmates are in the same position as you here in the Bay area. I am getting ready to graduate and apply ABSN programs but I am also going to apply to Occupational THerapy programs as well. My fiance goes to UCSF so I can't relocate just yet but I know how tough the job market is here in Ca. Good luck to you
As difficult as it was to get a CNA job in a hospital in the past, I am not surprised. When I was applying to work in hospitals as a CNA, I found out that they had different standards than other employers, so why should I expect anything to be different now? That does not stop me from being offended though. RN license for this? Who do they think they are impressing? The foolish or the desperate?
omg, I loled so hard when I read that.. but then again, I will probably apply for it too, and be rejected because I don't have a bachelors degree... I bet they get 600 applications for this job just because its southern California!
Thank you for your words!!!! Today I really needed them, it's been a tough day. I got so many rejections e-mails from job I applied to that I lost count. I actually ended up crying and feeling such a failure/////:crying2:
I do feel California is very hostile towards new grads, we are not welcome anywhere and there are very few openings for us. Once there is an opening the competition is fierce. If there are 1 or 2 positions available and hundreds of applicants, odds are I am not going to get a job ever!!!!
I considered relocating, I was looking into New Mexico but I am still very undecided. I am single and I don't have a husband or kids, but I love Los Angeles and I have all my friends and family here. I don't know if I want to move and start all over again. On the other hand I love nursing and would love to be a nurse, I know I could be a good one if given a chance.
I had so many plans, but now I can't really make any decisions, I feel horrible and depressed and don't know what to do. I don't think things will change for the better at least not in the near future. I also thought about continuing my education and get a BSN but honestly I don't want to spend more money and then not being able to find a job. Right now I know lots of BSN graduates who are having a hard time finding jobs.
I understand we are new grads and we are expensive for hospitals to train, but we need to start somewhere if not there will never be new nurses.......I don't have a solution to the problem but turning away a whole generation of new nurses doesn't seem very smart to me.
I also applied to LTC, SNF, Hospice, Clinics, Doctor's office and everywhere it's the same old thing: you need at least 1 year experience. Well I don't have that, I wasn't born with 1 year nursing experience......what should I do???!!!
Sorry for this vent.......I am just so frustrated!
Good luck everyone.
