djw- i think what everyone's been trying to tell you is that there are TONS of nursng jobs out there, but maybe you're being too picky about which ones you're willing to apply for. If you've got your license, and the only blemish on your resume is that you waited 3 years to take boards, you should have no problem finding a job. Like others have said, nursing home jobs are a dime a dozen- it may not be where you want to work, but at least it'll get you some experience while you continue your job search. Lke others have said, none of us mind giving advice when asked, but you have to be willing to take it, even if it's not necessarily what you wanted to hear.
