Finding an RN job

Best advice on how to go about this? I've been applying online to everything I am remotely qualified for, and have had one interview that I got through the recommendation of a friend, but unfortunately they can't hire right now due to low census and financial issues.

Are most job applications done online now? Is it best to call HR at the places I want to apply, or just show up with resume in hand? It's been 20 years since I've applied for a job, so wondering how it's changed.

I would rather not work in a hospital setting, so am not looking there for now, but will reassess in a few months if I need to do so.

Home heath and ambulatory outpatient surgery centers are what I've applied to so far, any other suggestions?
After searching and applying online for over 7 months, I finally started pounding the pavement the old fashioned way. And had 2 interviews within 3 days and have a follow up interview for one of those today. So I would recommend to everyone to get out and knock on doors and meet real people...maybe they will start to notice you.

It's really tough out there.....

How right you are, Esme.

You might just submit a resume blindly. Perhaps they are planning on hiring in the very near future and that may put you at the top of the list!

Im a kind of in the same situation, however I am a new grad in Seattle WA. Any suggestions?? I could REALLY use the help.Thank you!!
