New Grad RN Job Hunt

A New Grad RN searches internet postings for new grad positions and finds the results are misleading. Can you relate?

This is my life!!!!! So annoying. I have applied for over 100 jobs in 3 different states.

One thing to note. Everyone is seeking to make a buck. This makes it hard to share information. People are seeking to capilize on employers postings positions. They put fake opportunities so that they can sell their site because they have so many members. A lot of recruiters could care less about the job or you as a candidate. They are only looking to fill the requisition that is front of them. Finding job takes more than posting your resume. You have to network.

This search is becoming frustrating. If I see "New Grads need not to apply" one more time :( Try newgradrn. com for New Grad RN Programs.

This is what happens when a job becomes in demand. Then lots of people go to school to be trained for that job solely for the money/job security, forcing people who genuinely wanted that job to have trouble getting it.

Respond to this video... i do know that for instance no one in the state of California will hire a new grad. when i worked in reno we had nurses that were from la coming to work in reno because it was the closest city that would take a new grad. i had a friend who commuted from sacramento to reno for 6 months just to get experience and when she did the job offers poured in.

@bruinblue1 the thing is you have to work somewhere before anyone will hire you. it sucks but once you find a place to get experience you will never be short for a job again. i dont know why or who told you an rn only gets 11/hr. i am a travel nurse and only work nurse shortages and have been doing this for the last 5.5 years. the hardest part is the first 6 months. after that hospitals will be drooling for you.

A friend of mine recently graduated and passed the state's RN exam. Unfortunately, the market for RNs has been flooded with new grads for nearly the past decade (whoops, they don't tell you that when you apply for the program). Before 2000, there was somewhat of a shortage of RNs. So many signed up to be an RN. Hospitals, cutting back, layed-off seasoned (high earning) RNs & force the others to work twice as hard. The market is now flooded with new RNs... looking for $11.00 per hour jobs.

I hate to say this but maybe if you would donate time at a local hospital or homeless shelter that could count as experience.... no pay but at least you could say you had the experience
