In need of a job
5 posts back to top |
Posted 3 months ago Hello all, I was wondering if anyone knows of any hospitals that accept new grads in NJ/NY/PA area?I feel so useless without a job. I passed my boards earlier this month and have been applying to many hospitals. However, most of them require experience. How are we suppose to gain experience if no one gives us a chance? |

| Posted 3 months ago Im sorry to hear about the job problem. I tried to post something on the job board here, but when I went back to see if it showed up it didnt. Mollen is a company that has booths in Walmarts, Kroger, mallls..........etc. for flu shots. I am not with this service but as Christmas is approaching I might check it out too. You can do a search for Mollen or look under flu vaccination clinics. My pal is an LPN and works full time but her hours have been lessened about a month ago so she was looking for something part time to supplement. Good look with the job hunting. I think they have the booths all over the country. We only have one heart, take care of it! Angie |

| Posted 3 months ago From my own experience and from reading on another nursing messsage board, I think this problem is nationwide. A lot of new grads are having a hard time finding a job. I've had my license for 6 months and still haven't found anything. I did sign up for Mollen and even though it's only temporary, it's something. These tough economic times have really put a damper on the market. Try volunteering at a local hospital or clinic. This can give you the opportunity to network and also gain some type of experience. I volunteer as an RN at a clinic several times a week. I'm gaining some experience and getting to know some of the doctors that volunteer too. Hope this helps and good luck to you. |

I passed my NCLEX a few months ago here in Jacksonville, Fl. It's not just you. Even a local Baptist Health job fair which is going on TODAY said in their advertisement "EXPERIENCED Rn's please attend" in big bold letters. You would think that the long term care facilities would be willing to take you but, nope, same story. I am going to go the volunteer route, just so I can get the experience. It's still going to be rather disheartening knowing that I am bound to run into nursing students who I went to school with and have were fotunate enough to get hired.
How depressing. |
