I have over 4 years of Operating Room RN experience in different countries and obtained my California RN license in July. Since then, I have been applying for Operating Room RN positions but have not yet secured a job. Any advice?

That's typical of California. They have so many people they can choose from that they don't care. I had applied to several jobs and never heard back from them even though I meet all the requirements they ask for. I just gave up tbh.

If you are from California there are a lot of job openings in California right now. Are you in the US or are you living outside US?

I would move to a smaller town to apply at smaller rural hospitals that need you. Then after a couple of years you can apply anywhere. I hope this helps.

Hi,
I have over 4 years of Operating Room RN experience in different countries and obtained my California RN license in July. Since then, I have been applying for Operating Room RN positions but have not yet secured a job. I have also tried to find a perioperative internship or training program but have been unsuccessful so far. Please guide me,
Thank you
