First, have Sarah check hospital web sites for career opportunities to see if they are hiring new grads. Also, she can call the nurse recruiters of the hospitals she would like to work and ask about that.
2nd- last year when the recession hit, hospitals got hit too, so they did not want to spend time and money orienting new grads, but that is changing now as we are pulling out of the Recession.
3rd- there is still a big nursing shortage and it's getting shorter.
4th.Sarah can get an AAS in Nursing then a job and work on Bachelors.
I know certain areas like NYC, Boston, etc. were not hiring new grads. Also keep in mind that Sarah does have EMS experience.
So don't give up yet.:yeahthat:
