Where are all the jobs in this state ?

Can anyone tell me where they are still hiring new grads. It's six months into my job search and I have applied all over with not one call back.

You may already know this, but I heard that Touro is not really hiring new grads at the present time and that Tulane only hires new grads for med-surg. The Northshore hospital posts which positions are for new grads specifically. A recruiter from Ochsner suggested to a group of us who were looking for nurse tech jobs that we could volunteer or shadow a nurse to get to know unit managers. I don't like the idea of volunteering after working so hard, but these days it may be an option to help you get noticed and get some interviews. With hundreds of new grads applying for the same positions, its easy to get lost in the masses. I wish you the best of luck.

I relocated to another state to get a job, and I'm not a New Grad...I know that the new VA hosp is on the way, East bank is building a new hosp. but that doesn't help at all right now. I'm in Denver and they don't hire new grads for the most part. I noticed they have nurse internships and residencies, but I have to wonder what do you do when you have a family and can't relocate? I don't get the not wanting new grads because I find a mix of staff really helpful. New grads are enthusiastic, ask good questions and want to learn. They also come in with skills I had to learn after graduating. So far as help with the computer, you guys are a God-send! Don't give up! You are needed, this economy is the pits!
