Sounds like there is something else going on here. If you have a valid license, experience, and are flexible with scheduling, you should have no problem finding work.
The national nursing vacancy rate is approaching 12%. Jobs are a plenty out there.
Hospitals know the shortage is going to get bad, and are hiring as many nurses as they can, as soon as they can.
Are you sure you're telling us the whole story?
