Hey everyone, I just graduated with my ASN in May and passed the NCLEX a few weeks ago. I have been applying to jobs like crazy since back in April but havn't heard from anyone and the interviews I've had didn't bring a job either.
I am looking for a position in the St. Cloud or Minneapolis/Saint Paul areas. Does anyone know of a hospital whose new grad residency program is still accepting applications, or of a hospital who will hire new grads onto staff without a residency program? A big problem I am running into is that people prefer BSNs. I also passed NCLEX, so I feel that I am just as good as a BSN who is new.
The only offers I have gotten for jobs have been from other states. . . .mostly in the south. Arizona, Oklahoma, Gerogia, Texas. I would move if I have to, but I was hoping to stay in MN to continue my education.
Any suggestions or hints or comments would be a huge help!
Thanks all.
