Unemployed new grad

Try to see the Nurse Manager in person somehow and wow them with your personality and confidence. There's something about meeting someone that's always better than just reading an application. ... that's how i got my job. I went to an open house and met with the Nurse Manager of the floor I wanted to work. If there isn't an open house.. then call an schedule a brief meeting with the manager and drop off your resume in person.. its worth a try! That and of course if you have anyone on the inside that always helps. like your friends who graduated the same time and have a job Good Luck! Enjoy it and make the best of your time off while you still have it!!

Try the nursing homes first. That's a good way to get experience. Go to some of the places you did clinicals at. I got my first job at a nursing home I did clinicals at. They hired me as a GPN before I actually took my boards. Also, if you have ever taken care of family members or friends, use them as references. You'd be surprised at how far that gets you. CONGRATS on passing your boards and good luck with your future in nursing.
