I got a RN position. They do not hire GN, they do not accept IP licenses, I could not start working until I passed my boards. A lot of hospitals are not hiring GNs in this economy; it costs about 60,000 to train a new grad, hospitals can not afford to start training on some one that is not guaranteed a license.

You should have started applying 3 months ago!
Jobs are VERY VERY VERY difficult to find right now. Try to lock something in now. Talking to my class mates and others on average the wait is generally 3-6 months with 300-600 apps being sent out.
If you do not have an offer before you graduate then expect to wait many many months.

I was wondering when I should be looking for a job also. I'm graduating in June but I'd really like to travel before settling down with a job. I would probably like to start working around Aug or a bit earlier. I'm just concerned about the timing because of the competition and the different new grad programs accepting at only specific times in the year.

I've wondered the same thing.
