I just got over 2 big hurdles in life...nursing school and NCLEX...now for the next big hurdle...FINDING A JOB IN A JOBLESS WORLD FOR A NEW GRAD NURSE...
Does anyone have any suggestions as far as where to look for a job, if volunteering is worth doing (already have volunteer experience prior to nursing school), if I should try to get as many extra certifications as possible (PALS,ACLS etc.)?
Please help... any suggestions are welcomed...THANKS!

Rene I’m in the same position you are in!! Its kind of crazy….. especially when we’ve been told there’s a shortage of nurses! I was just thinking about certifications as well. Im bilingual n thought it would be easier to get a job. But that thought is long gone nowadays… I live in DE.. and the market here is dry as the Sahara! All positions require 2-3 years of experience; how can I get experience when I cant get hired?!
Best of luck to You…
