I'm considered inexperienced.

I'm really frustrated because job hunting for me is a nightmare right now. I'm trying to look for a job in the acute care area and all of the positions I applied for have been turned down because I'm am inexperienced in acute care nursing. I worked in a hospital as a mother baby nurse as a LPN for three years and then as a RN for six months. I know it's not the emergency room or a seriously critical unit but there are real emergencies that do arise and I just wish that they could take that into consideration that I have dealt with emergencies as a postpartum and
nursery nurse of level I & II. I also had 3 months of long-term care nursing which I know they don't take that into consideration obviously. Total RN experience 6 months Mother/baby and 3 months LTC. I can't get in a grad nurse residency program because I'm greater than six months post-graduation. So how am I supposed to gain experience if I'm not excepted because I don't have any experience? I am in the process of obtaining my ACLS. Any advice??????
