too late for the residency program

I have messed up. I waited too long to start looking for jobs and now all the residency programs for new nurses are not available. I'm scared I really messed up.
Please does anyone have any advice. I will graduate May 2015.
Please Please Please help
I'm sort of freaking out.
(a) see if anyone in your college's career office can help(b) apply for them anyway(c) apply for non-residency jobs. Try ones that say "1-3 years experienced required." Some hospitals will hire new grads into these and train you as they would anyone else with a preceptor - sans the annoying residency stuff. (d) try for a job outside the hospital. Some hospitals will consider you for residencies if you have no hospital experience. Try again 2016.

See if they offer residencies throughout the year. I was considered a new grad for a year after graduation and I started a residency in Feb.

Lots of places offer residency programs at different times. Maybe try expanding your search to different areas.
