Do not leave Nursing school. You will forever have career securty.
You don’t have to work in a hospital necessarily, there are a million options….

Make sure to have your BLS and I would suggest having ACLS as well

Many of the larger hospitals/systems offer “nurse refresher” courses for those who’ve been out of the hospital for a while. If they do not, ask about length of orientation. BLS/ACLS/PALS are helpful, but may also be offered at no cost if required. Depending on your location, consider a free-standing ED.
Happy Hunting!
