It is diificult for everyone to find a job. I have 7 years of nursing experience under my belt and I can not find a job. Ive put in dozens of apps with no call backs. I went to a job fair in LA and they said that u must have experience. I have experience in Med surg and pacu, i want to go into ICU but they all say that they will have preference for the employees that work at the facility before they hire someone new.
