Where to start looking for a job as a new grad in Broward?

Published

Hello there Florida Nurses,

I just very recently passed my NCLEX-RN and started applying to hospitals the day after, however, MANY MANY jobs and hospitals require 1 year of nursing experience, and I have none. I was wondering if you knew of any new grad programs in the broward county/miami-dade area that are still accepting applications? I heard that memorial healthcare sytem has an incredibly good orientation/training if you get hired, but I'm also looking for jobs related specifically to new grads such as an internship program or a residency program.

Thanks in advanced,

NI4CP

While you are looking for a job, have you thought of doing home health care for a nurse staffing agency? I'm doing that currently as a CNA in Orlando, and I know that the place I work also takes RNs and LPNs. No benefits, no vacation pay, etc., but it does give you healthcare experience. There must be places like that in your neck of the woods.

Some of the home health care agencies here want nurse with experience. I am looking for a job and I hope and pray that I get one soon. God please help me.

I know that some of the home health agencies are looking for experience - it's the same way here in Orlando. I did manage to find one, and pretty quickly too, that did not require experience. I think I used http://www.indeed.com. The important thing is to get your foot in the door and start getting health care experience - even if it's not the perfect job, it's better than NO job and once you have a year of health care experience, you will be much more appealing to employers at more desirable places.

I was on the Holy Cross site and could not find anything about a residency program. Does any one know anything about it? Application dates, requirements, if they are even having one? Thanks
