Depending on were you are at I'd put a boat load more applications/resumes in than just a dozen with being new and if your grades are anthing less than a 3.5 average I'd leave that out of the resume.  Many parts of the country are a hard market for new nurses for now.  Post a couple hundred to start and act like the job your interviewing for was exactly the one you had wanted at all interviews.  Study interview questions on the web and say only what the interviewers wnat to here.  Forget what you think.  Give them what they want until after your probation period.

When you post a resume, or have an interview, always follow up with a phone call. As a personnel manager I had a file cabinet full of applications, but when I needed to hire someone, the person who just phoned me a day or two ago came to mind first - I called them back rather than sift through a pile of resumes from applicants, many of whom might no longer be available.

Thanks for everyone's help. I had two inteviews last week and I will be calling them this week to follow up.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone:}
