Any tips for a new grad nurse who has been searching for a job for the past 3 months? I'm not sure if I am looking in the right places or simply because I am a new grad with zero experience.
Be patient and everything will come into place . Just do not forget to pray and it will come.
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.
Try getting a job at a hospital that is connected to a university that offers degrees in nursing
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!!
Make sure you are applying to the new grad programs. There are typically apply by dates that are open twice a year.
Try applying at a rehab hospital in your area. I work at Select Medical. They hire new grads. You'll get awesome experience. They're partnered with Cleveland Clinical.
It’s fear of what if I’m wrong ?? Your gonna be fine just as long as you keep questioning things you may or may not understand a nurse that always questions things is not dum so step up be aware and move forward into your future because ten years down the road you’ll laugh at yourself and be positive
Hi there, how is your resume and cover letter? Also do you have an idea on what you want to do?
