Hello,

Do you have your BSN? It might be helpful to get your ACLS (and any other relevant advanced certifications like PALS). I also suggest applying for ambulatory/outpatient positions within a hospital.

Also, some hospital have residency programs for new nurses/experienced nurses without hospital experience. I just applied to an operating room nurse residency program.

Best of luck!
