Hello, I graduated and became a RN in October 2025. I have an ADN. I’m planning on starting my BSN with WGU this summer. I am currently working at two nursing homes. I worked at nursing home because I’m still going to school for my pre-med classes like chemistry, physics, etc. And it did help with my school schedule. But I don’t plan on staying as a LTC nurse. There’s nothing wrong with being one. It’s just that I want to become a med surg nurse ever since I was a CNA. So currently right now I have eight months of experience. My RN Supervisors and other RNs keep telling me to go to the hospital while everything is fresh in my mind. Can anyone help me or guide me on how to be noticed on the applications? I have applied to all the hospitals around my area, Which is Palos Heights. And none of them haven’t respond or rejected me. I have even did a cover letter for one med surg position And they still rejected me. I honestly don’t know what to do.
