If your circumstances allow try different cities. I found it harder to find a job in a large established city with many nursing schools. Conversely very small town with stable population/businesses would be hard. Growing mid-size size cities are looking for nurses in all departments.

If you did clinical , you have experience. You have more training than you think. Be positive and remember that they will only have as much confidence in you, as you have in yourself. If you did any CNA work, that is experience in healthcare. You can do this!!
