When should new grads apply?

[jan18]

Hello,

When do you think new grads should apply for RN positions? Three months before graduation? More? Is there a disadvantage to applying too early...say six months before graduation?

Thanks for your help!

Well I don't graduate for 5 months...so I don't think I'm too late as of now. But thanks for your reply.

I graduated May of 2009. People from my class secured jobs back in December.. so I was in the same boat as you, the earlier the better, especially in this situation where jobs are hard to come by.

Good luck! But if I were you, I'd take my advice and at least start!!!

...and you're welcome.
