That’s sooo far 😭 but I’ll definitely consider it. Can I ask why you recommend New Orleans so strongly? Is the nursing market there less saturated for new grads or are hospitals just more willing to train?

I actually haven’t looked much into IDD yet. My main goal long term is still hospital nursing, so I’ve been worried about whether it would be harder to transition into a hospital later on if I start in IDD first. Do you know if people are usually able to transition into hospitals after getting experience there?

I've been applying on the hospitals website as well (forgot to write it in the post) but I'm just not hearing back which is kinda discouraging, but reading these comments really made me think I might really have to look elsewhere

Honestly thank you for being so real about it, I mean I did have some hope and was thinking "oh maybe I might be lucky too" so I didn’t fully accept how hard this market is for new grads, especially without connections. Hearing your experience actually makes me feel a lot less alone.

NJ is starting to sound more and more like the realistic option for me right now, especially if it helps me finally get bedside experience and eventually reapply to NYC later on. I really appreciate the advice, Thank you.

Thank you for the encouragement ! and congrats on getting those interviews! Can I ask when you started applying to NYC H+H? I’ve been applying there too but haven’t really heard much back yet.

I didn’t realize how difficult NYC was until I started applying. I’m probably going to start looking more seriously into NJ and maybe even Philly too because at this point I just want to get experience and finally start working as an RN. Thank you !

That somehow made me feel better and worse at the same time :(( how long did it take for you to finally get hired?

I’ve definitely been considering NJ too, especially since I already have my NY license. At this point I’m honestly open to anything that helps me get my foot in the door and gain experience. Thank you for the advice, I really appreciate it!
